Depends on the look you are going for. Do you want better output with projectors or "whistler"-style stock units?

Since you said halo, I'm guessing projectors. Most ebay aftermarket housings aren't that great. The Sonar ones are the better of what is available there, but you can do better elsewhere.

If you want better output to go with the appearance, check out BLS (Blackbird Lighting Solutions). They are a sponsor. They have some options available and can do custom work.

Either way, avoid smoked lenses since they lower output.

Check out the Lighting FAQ for more info:

best looking headlights are the depo headlights or if you want projectors bls, most just do the depo whistler ones with a hid kit, not as good as the bls setup but thats what i did and have no complaints, imo ebay halos look very cheap and very ricer

for best light output retrofit your own. those ebay lights arent all good, you dont know whats good until you see the real thing. imho best black lights are factory with whistler mod. if your lights are in a good condition go ahead and order 2 hid projectors or just whistler them. you wont regret it. check my hids retro fit it should give you an idea.
