Demon eye bulb replacement
 
Has anyone found a decent replacement for the Demon Eye sleek headlights that actually allows you to see at night?
Saw a guy that had small l.e.d. square lights. Said they were for offroad cars, like a light bar.
But had to fabricate to get them in

How about a set of stock assemblies, with stock covers over stock housings with say…Silverstars?
Depending on how yours were wired it should be pretty much plug n play, with no fabrication.

But I see great with mine. :dunno:

Sold my popups.
Went thru a couple lids at $100 a replacement regardless of reinforcing the contact points.
And I personally like the sleek look rather than the popup. But that's probably just me.

Most of the non-pop up headlights have horrible lighting. Most of the early kits just used foglights which have a scattered beam pattern.

Hopefully someone with a similar kit can chime in, but realize it could be an expensive and uphill battle to get lighting that actually works well at night. The profile on non-pop up kits is so low that you just don't have much forward facing surface area to get a good beam pattern out.

These kits IMHO are for show, not really great for daily driving. On the other hand, the Sakebomb HID kit for the pop ups gives the most amazing view of the road at night :).

This was my concern, but, holding out hope for a solution.
I'll have to befriend and electrician I guess....
i don't drive at night much, but, when I do, we don't have street lights so it's really dark with animals on the road.. i.e. turkeys, coyotes, occasionally a deer.

Then you were doing it wrong.

I disagree but would absolutely defend it being your choice. Something that I learned along the hard way is that the easiest and usually the cheapest way to correct poor quality and crappy aftermarket performance is to return to stock.
