Default auction site Projector lights.

does anyone here have the projector lights that are found on the auction site? i'm wondering how the quality is and how well they fit in the car. is there any problems with bouncing or vibrating when going down the road or hitting a bump? All input would be appreciated.

Modified concepts is the seller but when you get them they have ACA molded right in to the lens. I just got some about a month ago and they were very good quality and fit great.

Bought mine from D5 Concepts and had a bad bulb. Called them up and they sent a replacement right away. No problems or issues since.

Here they are on my car. They fit good and put out decent light. They look way better than OEM in my opinion.

Does the wiring harness that comes with the "auction" headlamps keep high and low beams on at the same time? Or is it essentially the same thing as JW harness?

If your going to use HIDs in these spend the extra $10-25 and buy a battery based relay harness to insure proper voltage and amperage.
