Default Would you get these lights?

Hey guys, turns out i may have to get new head lights, i was putting the stock ones back in and while tightening down the bolt that holds it in (not that hard) the thing that holds the bolt (metal thing inside of a plastic thing) came out of the plastic. I was looking at Halo headlights and came across these... what do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON...spagenameZWDVW

I did the same thing. I rigged it with some stainless bolts & washers from Lowes.

hmm, was thinking of projector HID's, but i think you guys are right about the ricey-ness, i was also looking at these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON...em310021175134 but it's sorta hard as the others are projectors.... i dont know i dont mind the others, i'm sort of used to that now here in Germany where all the newer cars including my parent's BMW's have those type of head lights... argh hard decision making time! and by the way, no good shops like that over here in Germany, stuck between a rock and a hard place again, i miss America! (except for the speeds of the autobahn!)

Never liked these projector versions. I have the other ones that look much better.

If you plan to drop an HID kit in those projector housings, the cutoff is terrible. It's a waste of money.

I also cannot stand halo's thats just a personal opinion though.

I think those look even better, and they are cheaper, i know they are not the 6k ones but i'm sure they are better than the stock head lights. Well if i cant fix factory headlights, then i'll probably get those, and try to do something with the LED's... and if i can fix them... i'll think about it anyways! Thanks guys for the help!
