how is the weather stripping/black plastic around the headlight on these over time? I bought some halos on ebay about 4 years ago and within a year or two the weather stripping started cracking and ripped off.

Anybody know if they sell something OEM style (like these) with a projector in it? I don't care if it isn't a top of the line projector but something better than this housing. HIDs suck in these.

There is absolutely nothing like that in the market unfortunately. It would have to be a custom job.

Thats dumb...

It is either this, stock, or something with HALOs and LEDs everywhere in it with maybe even 3 places for bulbs.

Brand new whistlered headlights with a half *** projector for 250$ would be amazing. Hell even the cheap *** projectors that come in the ones they sell on Ebay, its better than the halogen stock housing.

Well, DEPO started painting these all black because of consumer demand..maybe if enough people ask for these with projectors in them, they'll add them..who knows? Would be sweet if they did it...

The light output seems more accurate, I took before and after pics. I'm running silverstar ultra bulbs.
