My New Lights

Here are some pictures of my new lights. They are made by a company called symnic, I bought them off of ebay for $50 (shipping was $24). The first picture is of just the blue halo bulbs. The last two are of the regular driving lights. The pictures don't look that great, because I had to keep my camera on the low setting so the files didn't get to big. Anyway, just wondering what you guys thing of them.

I think they are projectors, I'm not sure.
Also, do you know where you can buy other types of Halo bulbs?

Where can you get HID conversion for $260?

I've priced $20-$25 per housing (need 2) and $300+ for the HID bulbs/ballast. After shipping its around $400.


Please let me know as I'd like to look into it.


Thanks,
Keith

ebay my friend, xenon is basically the best. but dont let the 12000k trick you into thinking that its more bright. i think the lower the number is the more white. the higher is the more color of blue or red. ebay.

They actually are quite a bit brighter than the stock lights, they were pretty wimpy.

Goggle eyes on the 7 are a trademark, looks like those ones are way out there. Here's a recent photo of some stock ones for comparison:

But do you really need all that light? Just about all the time I've got my stock lights on low beam.

i have H.I.D.'s in my car. they're great and work the best w/ projectors. and yes i still am using stock pop up assembly... though installing and constant adjustment to your taste was a total bitch. the driverside headlight motor f*cked up on me and i had to replace it (pick-ups to wackyracer) since the wires were thick and getting in the way; but i fixed that and moved it @ a diff. spot. overall worth it than getting some ebay bulbs that's the same light output as stock but just diff. colors.
