Halo headlights
Anyone have this headlight installed, pics?
I kind of bought them "accidentally" on fleabay, as my low ball bid went through.
I'm thinking, should I split them and paint the interior black, or leave them chrome. These are not the prettiest headlights around, but still better than the OEM, IMO.

I just bought those same exact headlights last week. After a few issues with the install (see Tech forum...), I got them working. Mine came with H11 halogen bulbs, but they stink so I upgraded to H11 55w 6000k HIDs. Much better. They seem good so far, but they are way too high. I need to adjust them down so the light is not hitting the tops of trees. I wired the halos to a separate relay and switch that I will mount behind the ash tray door on the center console. That way I can independently control the halos and not have them solely linked to the headlights.

I bought the non halo ones off ebay for my projector retrofit. They were ~$145. I was unable to remove the projectors as they were glued or cemented to the housing. I returned them (seller was great) and purchased the ACA reproductions from ebay for $225 and completed a retrofit with FX-R projectors. The ACA repros are definitely better quality. I love em.

thought about buying a few more sets and modding them to sell but not sure there'd be any interest.
