So, I have these on their way to me...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...em=290395678767

Question 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?

Hyland33
i say hook them up...just dont use them lol.gif not feeling them at all
Orinackra
ah shit. I need to contact the seller. I wanted black ones, not chrome. Fuck. Imagine these haha

D. Snuts
Black is way better!
LS6rally
agreed, black looks much better
bmrabb
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
bonnEVIL
ew. voted neither.

spend the money on a FWI from intesne, or a pulley.

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.
Orinackra
trust me DJ, i didnt want headlights but i NEED them . my current ones barely lihht up the reflective road strips. i like the orange led idea though. im on the fence about the halos too. honestly i would be happy with projectors
Orinackra
oh and yeah, im gettin the black ones, provided they email me back
Hyland33
i say wire them up and just use them whenever you want..no one says you have to use them all the time...and throw some HIDs in there if you wanna see better
Stangman_NB
I like em as is

for sure. im still doing my homework on hids, but ultimately thats what im gonna do.

I got my lights the other day... and the bastards sent me the chrome ones and now wont reply to my emails.... SO either I'm stuck with chrome or I'll have to pull em apart and paint em. I dont know, they're growing on me... they may end up black, I cant decide. They're a hell of a lot brighter than my stock lights, which is the important thing. I can see potholes in the dark now! lol.gif
Anyways to the pics. Yes, I know my wheels are mismatched. Snow tires on the front. Yes my car is filthy, and YES, I know my hood needs painted still.








Now what do you guys think?

btw.... no halos or leds yet. I'm still undecided.
jcat
actually kinda like the chrome...it makes the car look pissed off like crazy eyes.
Orinackra
haha its probably pissed off I havent washed it this week. Stupid car, I'm busy!
custom rides
keep em
Nrw
Either the output absolutely sucks with those projectors (I'm sure its way better than stock) or the alignment is out of wack.
Orinackra
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.
Nrw
ok I was just curious lol
Orinackra
biggrins.gif 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.
Marc Letourneau
Halo's only for that particular car. I think they look good!
Orinackra
haha I decided to tear em open and paint em. Now I have black projectors! biggrins.gif




Sousa
black is better
FWDLOL
ehhh i liked them with the silver kinda gave it some charecter but the black is nice too
Hyland33
Way nicer...the chrome made your car look really ricey
Orinackra
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.
