Default Halo Headlights

For you guys that got the Halo headlights. Where did you get them from? I've seen websites with them but pretty pricey and also seen them on ebay. I'm leaning towards ebay but want to know what company you got yours from if you got them from ebay.

EBay for me. They are great and better price. I bought my ballast and bulb local before I bought the headlights. But the kit that they sell on ebay is nice too.

Pics of eBay ones on the car??? Is fitment decent? Do you lose the sprayers? I don't care about the sprayers being there, just wondering

My stock ones are kind of jacked up doing that hazing or whatever. New stock ones are pretty expensive.

IF you're not looking to buy new one, but you are doing it because of the hazing, these are SIMPLE to clean up. I've never cleaned headlight lenses before, but with a $20 Turtle Wax brand headlight restoration kit and45 minutes of time start to finish, I made mine look tons better. No, they don't look NEW, but the difference really is night and day. Might be worth a try.

Don't mind the residue around the headlights, I didn't clean it up before I took the pictures.

I bought the 3m headlight restore kit for my g/fs mustang and it turned out pretty good and lasted about a month and I have some of the kit left over. I thought about trying my headlights just for the heck of it but I was curious about the Halo's.

+1, how is the quality of the ebay lights?

i have already polished/used the 3m restore kit on my lights 2 times. Used a "uv clear" on them the 2nd time. aka a clear coat i found at home depot that said uv protection for plastic. the FL sun still killed them within a year.

Fitment for me was pretty spot on and this is using the Ebay halo lights. My stock lens were cracked and hazed beyond repair.

That's an amazing photo. Am I crazy or is that a custom color? OR does the black accents just kind of subdue the true color of your car?

Tmonttt's pictures are much closer to the actual color of the CCFL (mine look a little greenish), but here's my submission with my draft foglamps:

Not sure if you ment this towards my photo but I will respond. lol
The Color is Thunder Gray available in the 07s. The sun was setting in that pic so it makes it look darker than what it is. All the black outs help also.

At first I thought, "Gay as ****..."

Now after seeing them on... Not so sure...

I put halo's on my Miata's low-profile kit... never bothered to hook up the halo wires, though... Hmmmm...

Thanks for the reply. I know thunder gray and I like it but your setup makes it a billion times better still. That and the reflection in the photograph is just wow

so which manufacturer is better? Eagle Eye Lights or AnzoUSA or are they exactly the same just re-branded?

cheapest they go is ~$300?
