Where to buy projectors from?

Okay people first off if this is a repost,(sorry I searched and couldnt find what I was looking for)!I’ve read multiple threads on people who have ordered projectors either from vendors or on ebay and have had problems with the headlights once theyve gotten them or theyve taken 3 weeks to get there and had issues with the shipping of them feeling like they were never going to get them. Im getting ready to buy myself a set of them and I am concerned as to about where I should order them from and if on ebay who actually had a smooth transaction on there and who it was with.So if anyone can give any advice as to where or who on ebay I should order them from that would be great. It just seems like alot of people have had problems when it comes to the projectors. Also for those of you who have put the HID's in did you go with just the lo beam kit or the hi/lo? Is it worth spending the extra money for the hi/lo kit as Ive read alot of people have had problems with the hi/lo kit once it got hooked up. Would you say the lo beam HID kit was strong enough you felt like you didnt need the hi/lo kit or do you feel maybe you should have went with the hi/lo kit? Like I said sorry if this is a repost but I couldnt find exactly what I was looking for on here so I figured Id just try and start a new thread.Any input would be awesome. Thanks alot!!

Well i just ordered a set of the black background halo projectors from cobalt addiction on Sunday, so i will let u know how smooth the whole process goes, im not gonna expect them in until then end of the week at least since i ordered them on a Sunday and the following Monday was a holiday, so they probably just got to seeing my order this morning.

I got mine from ebay. 2 of the leds stopped working. It had that ugly orange glow. I figued out how to fix the glow and replace the leds now it lookf great. . Its a toss up. Some ppl get goot sets and some dont. I was lucky that i was able to fix mine rather easily.

Regarding the light output. its ok but you will want to go brighter. I put in Silverstar h1's in ht elows and some white ones from Canadian Tire in the highs. Those do the trick for me.

Wherever you buy it from just make sure the place is reputable and is willing to help out if something goes wrong.

And yes there is a little modifying with connecting wires but there are good "How To's" on here that explain everything. Nothing difficult at all.

The light output is better....if you have the low beams aimed correctly it is really nice. As for the high beam, they are 10x better than stock. I was amazed. glad i got mine.

Also I got mine from ebay for $225 shipped

HIDS are illegal in anything that is aftermarket. It has to come from the factory to be legal.

Bump for some good anwsers to this lady's questions.

So does anyone know if the EBAY projectors are the same as the COBALTADDICITION projectors? If not which ones are better?

I wish someone would make a non-halo style projector headlight assembly. I'm not a fan of the halo's, as I think they are kinda ugly/dumb looking. Thats just my opinion, not trying hate on your halo owners, lol.

lol then buy a set of projectors... open them up. Pull out the halos. Fiberglass over any nasty mess that may be there. Sand until they look nice then paint them white and put them back together.
