Anyone with projector headlights that can help me? I'm thinking about getting a set but I've heard bad reviews so I was wondering what kind of issues I'd be looking for. Also, I'd like to run them as regular HIDs(not angel eyes or LEDs) so I was wondering if I could do that.

Please keep in mind Im not looking for opinions on whether I should get them or not, I need reliable facts/reviews.

And for those of you that know about the deal, please dont say anything.

I would not recommend them, they tend to let in moisture which fogs the headlights, the led wiring is brittle causing the side marker lights to fail. They projector in them is made for halogen bulbs only and the light output is not that great. Some have issues with adjustment to the headlights.

First off, I found halos to near impossible to get for under $300. Especially the black ones. I ordered one pair, dealer waited 9 days to tell me they were out of stock then gave me my money back. Second try: next seller says they 'should be on their way' but couldn't give a tracking number or anything(probably never had them in stock). Found out they were reputable for that sort of thing and I'm now waiting for PayPal to TAKE my money back off them because they are such a$$holes. But, I know a lot of them are sold with HID kits and have ballasts and everything so that is possible. Do as you wish, sir but do yourself a favor and talk to any real person and find out how legit the source is first. Good luck and throw some pics up if you get them.

or buy the JDM projectors. OEM quality and you'd have the 3rd set ever imported to the US.

Thanks for the help guys. I got the projectors as a trade for 07-09 shaved grille. Loved the grille but needed the headlights, and the LEDs are flickering but I plan on fixing them.
