Ebay halo lights? Price to good to be true?? Whats up everyone, im thinking about picking up some black halo headlights for my camaro. i was looking around on ebay and noticed that they are insanely cheap. im talking less then a $100. has anybody used these? in the pictures they look good, so whats the catch. Im sure they leak but if i just put a good bead of silicone around them dont you think i would be ok? thanks for any help. heres a link to some ebay results

i plan on doing that also. thats what everyone else does. I havent heard of any leaking. more companies are offering them so the price has finally hit <$100. I remember when they first came out they were $200 +$50 shipping.

really depends on how you wire them up, if you wire them up seperatly (meaning you tapp into a toggled 12v then you control the light. but if you wire it up with the DRL then they'll be on when the DRL's are on.) just really depends on how you wire it

that price is pretty normal now. price has come down a little bit and those ebay companies always jack shipping so they can make their prices look lower.
i just bought halos and clear corners from a company on there for like 170 shipped, picked him because of the feedback. it's not worth it to me to try to deal with some moron to save $20.

The shipping makes up for it..45 bucks for shipping is a complete and total rip off in every shape and form. That's how much it was to have my exhaust shipped.

If you want Halos then go for it... When I was looking for a set it was weird because it went in cycles...
For a couple of months Halos were $100 + $40 to ship while the sort of Whistler style headlights were $149 + $40 to ship...
Then when I wanted to buy the Halos they were all $149 +$40 to ship and the "whistlers" were $100 + $40 to ship...
Mix in the fact that sometimes they would add turnsignals to different headlights and you could get Black Halos w/clear w/black housing turnsignals for $125 + $30 shipping!!!
Of couse when I wanted them there were no such deals and I paid $45 just for my turnsignals
...
Anyways, the prices cycle... buy now while it is down...

When I was ready to buy the black Halos they were nowhere to be found... Heck, I had to wait almost a month for the black housing turnsignals to even show back up on ebay...

i thought halos had projectors. But i have a trans am and havnt looked into it much but i could sworn there was some halos with projectors.Thatd be the ultimate for an hid set up! I have a 2004 audi tt 226 coupe and man, those bi-xenons are amazing! Theyre cool to watch flicker and start and then you can see everything. The projector set up helps a lot
