Ok so I finally decided on the black ones. So far I really like them (haven’t had them out at night to see if the visibility is good) I changed out the grille to the black one and also plasti-dipped the inner cross hairs to give it some contrast. Now comes the newest issue.....some people have suggested killing all the chrome, which I was totally against!!! But now as I look at it... i think that might just have to be the next thing on the list. 2e0250baf7983d8cdc365342fc178b94.jpg

Lmao... wait until you try to drive at night with your new headlights. You will be begging the Ebay seller to issue a refund.

Wow! You couldn’t have been more right, it was unbelievable. Couldn’t tell they were even on. Already filled out a form for return.

Well after being disappointed with the light output they are on their way back. But decided to get a stock set with the housing painted black instead. Much happier and I can actually see where I was going...

Yikes. What about those ones with the two circles for lights, one right above the other (not diagonal)?

I looked into those but just not my style and they have the same issue with light output. So from what I’ve read most of the aftermarket projector lights need hids or leds on top of the cost of the actual housings. Very happy with the ones I have now. Now I just have to do something about all the chrome.

Yea those style lights look super cool, but the light output is so bad it should be illegal.

The only way those would be usable is to open them up, and replace the projectors with morimotos and the drl strip with profile prism or diode dynamic strips.

But the overall look of the lights are pretty cool.

What about oracle halo/strip kits? Any good? Or are the other two just generally better?

I'd stay away from Oracle stuff. It's ok but for the same price or cheaper you can get Diode Dynamics or Profile Prism halos/strips and they are the best on the market. I've personally used all 3 brands and Oracle doesn't even come close in brightness and longevity compared to Diode Dynamics and Profile Prism. You can see the DD and PP leds during the daytime in the direct sun, Oracle you cant really see unless it's dark or really overcast.

These are ones I’m considering. I don’t mind the quad look but wished they came in black

I have the ones being returned by OP. I replaced the bulbs though before I ever installed. I’m pleased with them. I do need to reaim them.
