There are tons of pics, do a search for Halo's. The general consenus however is that they don't flow with the lines of the car and quality is to be desired.

I've never had those halos, but considering they are the same as OEM lights aside from the Halo insert, they should put out a similar amount of light. It will be reduced some because of the halo insert but not too bad.

those are the exact ones i have, got them from bruce hawkins too. ive been happy with them. light output is about the same as stock. only complaint is the weatherstripping that comes around it is starting to tear, which should be expected since is got them in MAy of 2006. they are also starting to fog up a bit, just like the stockers, but i can clean those off. go look at my fquick if you need pics

I had the black halo's for a few years and finally decided to do the whistler mod on my stock headlights. Let me tell you, I am glad I did.. It made me realize how shitty those halo headlights really are with fit and quality.. IMO, stock headlights/with whistler mod is the way to go for fit and quality..

Bake the stock lenses in the oven to heat the glue, Paint them black, then reinstall them they look great with any other exterior mods
