So, I have these on their way to me...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=290395678767Question is, what do you all think of the halos and leds? Rice? I wanted projectors, or some form of headlight since the stockers are only marginally better than a flashlight... but I'm unsure if I wanna hook up the extras?

Black is definitely better than chrome, but still not my style. If you like it though, go for it man!

No halos no led's. No need to pretend and be a bimmer/audi

swap the LED's to amber ones, and use them as turn signals

This strickes me as the best use for halos but I don't know if it'll get you in trouble with DoT regulations.
I'm on the fence about halos for some reason, I want to like them, I used to like them, but after finding out how problem-ridden BMW's get to be I don't think I want anything resembling anything BMW on my car. It's not as ricey as Z3 louvers but it's along the same lines, I think.

Either the output absolutely sucks with those projectors (I'm sure its way better than stock) or the alignment is out of wack.

I havent aimed them yet. I was deciding what to do with them.... whiiiiiiich ended up being this:
Point of no return!!!!! Pics on the car to come in the day, pics of them aimed... well... when I get around to it. Which might be May considering how FUCKING COLD IT IS!!! But yeah, its still better than stock, I just gotta find a nice flat spot to aim them with.

no sweat bud. Sorry for seeming extra excited. I'm cold, cranky, and a little stressed out... and probably a little high on paint fumes.

Way nicer...the chrome made your car look really ricey

Yeah, I LOVE the black. I think they look so much better now. I just need to figure out what kind of bulbs are in there so I can get an HID kit. The ebay auction says H1 Hi and low, but theres no way those are the same bulbs even visually. The highs kinda look like an h3.... and well I havent peeked inside the projector yet.
Now if if only it would stop snowing! I could hook up the halos.
