Nothing looks better then the stock lights with the housing painted black IMO.

Those lights are rather pointless IMO - they are not an upgrade in lighting (just stock style with the plastic insert) and the halo in the center doesn't go with the lines of the car at all. Just my opinion though

used to have them a long while ago, but then switched to whistlers, which look waaay better in my opinion. The halo's dont look good to me at all anymore.

I remember when everybody was going after those Halos, I never understood why they do not flow with the lines on the hood at all. Few other styles out there look good but not the "halos" IMO.


As the rest said, whistler your stockers if you want a black themed headlight.

Nah, you got the Sonar projectors right? I'd take those over stock style, with the HIDs in them. Cannot stand it when people put HIDs in halogen reflectors

Though I will probably try to make my own projector headlights next time

I love mine and they work perfect with my HIDs. So having said that, to all the haters out there...

If you like ur halos...keep 'em.

fitment issues - yes, but if you work hard you can get them to look pretty nice. there was also a thread about how to fix it where they fit pretty close to oem (something about the brackets)

wiring - not hard at all imo, i wired my up to the daylights so i can just move the switch and have my halos on with the signals and fogs

No, they don't, but let's not go there as that has been beaten to death.

well my good old OEM head lights look *** and had that sun damage. so I got the Halos but the FITMENT was *** and the RUBBER around the head lights were coming off as I tried fitting them in right. everyone I know that got the same Halos had the same problems. If they were made better then they would be cool. Not worry the money with the issues they come with. I got mine used and cheap so F all you lol jk my 0.02
