You can find those lights here. I hear they work well. Same bulbs as stock lights. I like'em.

If you want my opinion, paint your own headlights and wait until a better set of aftermarket projectors are available.

I absolutely hate the top halve of those ones. The bottoms are nice with the not so HID projectors and the halo's, but seriously WTF were they thinking on the top half? A squared off reflector and a few small LED's????

Not for me. I'll probably go the same route as Mercury eventually and do a retrofit with a real set of HID projectors with angel eyes

wow can you say misinformation! they dont run head light bulbs stock bulbs. Here is what you get. Two lamps, two turn signals bulbs that are amber that will pop in two days (mine did), and 4 H1 bulbs. they dont use H9007's like stock.

low beam is cool cause of the cut off. they are harder to aim. you have to remove them for some adjustments. I can only adjust the low beams side to side. I would get brighter H1's that are like 65 or 80 watt. 100 watt would be super for High beams. dont go for the 55watt white HID wanna be bulbs. I did and it looks good but lighting is not any brighter. HIbeaams are good. now these are narrower a bit in the way the through out light. To say they are better than stock light. no way. They look great though. Can they be made to have better light. yeah. brighter wattage bulbs or HID conversion. they say no HID on these lamps with a sticker but I have heard some people have done it with no problem.

Fitment issues. I had to trim the mounts to get it to fit right.

Flimsy?- the lens is good and tough. good quality. the housing is made of a softer plastic.

overall - happy with it for looks. performance wise no better. I like them. fitment was a disappoint ment but I got it to work. Bought from ebay.

hope that helps

Comments on these black halos on a red car is wanted. do you like it?

No no no. I meant same as stock headlights. I didn't mean to write bulbs I was just thinking bulbs and typed it in. LOL my bad. I meant same performance as stock headlights. That's what I have been hearing in the 1,000 projector threads we have going here.

P.S. Why are things double and triple posting lately?

Well I am think of going with amber LED's not sure of the blue leds.

the car has to have some attitude. and the top half provide a serious look at the car. my plate now makes it look buck teeth in the mouth. like a mad chickmunk. somebody can have fun with photoshp with that LOL.

I hear ya. But IMHO the only way those things could look good would be to disable all of the top row of lights, and vinyl or paint the entire top half to look like eyelids. That would look pretty sweet.

But, to each his own, the rectangular reflector on the top kills them for me,, it's not symetrical, doesn't flow with anything else, and I think the LEDS also look out of place.

But, to the original poster and everyone else, all that matters is if you like them

yes. just amber not clear. so is the cleareance light. the LEDS and halos (three ground and three power) are needed to be spliced into the clearence light wiring. other than that it is plug and play.

Edit : 3057 amber

Good because I have a set of bluish turn signals, and I have silverstar turn signals, I think I'll go with the silverstars when I get my lights tomorrow.

I just got done wiring a switch that will turn the Halo's on and off, so that I can leave the halo's and LED's on when the car isn't running, took me 2 hours to get the switch in place and to run the wire thru the firewall and thru the existing wiring.
