I'm interested, don't know how they would look on a red car - thoughts?

I had the halos on but returned them because the light output sucked.

They look really good, and lubricated. The back, as pictured, looks exactly like the stock lights. We'll just have to see how they hold up.

Don't know yet, put one side in, sans bulbs, and took it back out. My car is filthy and these lights deserve a clean car to be put on. Stay tuned.

I have these and there is no noticeable light output difference. They project exactly the same as stock and the quality is excellent! I was pleasantly surprised by them.

They look good. The light output should be the same. If anything the glare would be limited.

They look sweet. Thanks for all the pics to everyone that posted. Now I wonder what they will look like on a white SS? Anyone have HIDs with these?

Kaz, I liked the look of them but I would probably get the Depo ones because night driving with the halos wasn't that good.

Yeah I know hids are brighter I put them in my stock lights. I was just wondering what hids look like in the halos because they are basiclly fog lights.

I took mine back off, but the seal looks well done.

You have to put bulbs in since they don't come with any, but these are setup exactly like the OEM lights. Just look at the pics man...

The projectors I bought didn't have hids, plus I didn't want to dump more money into them. The adjuster scew didn't work and the quality wasn't that great.
