My Ebay Halo Headlight Kit Review

This is just a little review on the popular ebay halo lighting kits sold on ebay.. I had ordered a set after one of my covers flew off on the highway.. so i needed something quick..

The quality was very surprising. i was actually expecting to get some real cheaply made stuff but i was rather surprised.. it had the full lighting harness as well as all mounting hardware to boot.. only thing no instructions!


Fitment was going to be the most important thing for me and this kit really fit well no overlapping or miss fitting parts.. everything also lined up properly.

A upgraded the bulbs to sylvania silverstar ultras and **** what a diffrence it made!

I drove around and i for some odd reason people are MORE attracted to the car asking if its some new vehicle or something.. my FD gets a **** load of attention before but now i notice people asking more and more questions about it..i know some people dont like these lights but i can honestly say im very happy with them.. i will be posting some pics soon for those who are thinking of putting them on.

i believe so..pics are coming guys..i want to wash and wax my car.. so look out this weekend.. i only posted this for a possible alternative to buying the more expensive brands which are 400-up..If you dont have anything positive to say than please dont post. in general people around here where i live Long island ny tend to ask what type of car it is.. seems like it changes the look of the car and makes in more modern..im actually going to see if i can get it painted to match my car even though my car is black..

sorry to hear about the family issues, thanks for the pics, any chance you can get some side-profile shots during daytime with the lights off?

thanks!

See comments like this is what makes big problems on this forum. Again i posted this for the people that didnt want to spend the 400- 1000 on a sleek headlight kit and wanted a cheaper alternative.. It was a write up on the quality and fitment and most importantly the upgrade on the Dim stock original FD headlights.. I didnt ask for your bullshit opinion..You dont like them thats great but please if you have nothing to add to this forum than stay the hell off my thread..

It definately gets old listening to some of the people who "know" everything on here doesn't it. The lights look good to me.

Well I'm giving you my opinion, no problem if you don't like it. No need to be a lil bitch about it.

last time when a friend had his headlight cover fly off, it costed 50 bucks for a pre-owned replacement, and 20 bucks to fix and paint each. so total of 90 dollars to replace, and fix and paint both. I sanded and buffed them so it looked good and even with the existing BB paint.

so 90 bucks and a HID Conversion/Retrofit (w/e that costs) vs making your FD look like a squid.

Nice choice sir. I envy you, your car is so JDM.

bro seriously if you dont have anything to say or to add to this thread than simply dont reply.. i could care less for peoples opinion on the matter.. it wasnt a thread asking what people thought about the headlights,it was a write up on how the fitment and actual lighting output of the kit..after getting a few email of people that were interested in how the fitment was and a few people wanted me to post pics so thats excatly what i did.. simple..dude you dont even have a friggen FD to even comment on the matter.. stick with your FC and keep your retarded comments to yourself.!jeez!
