Welcome! Nice clean GS.

As far as the Halo's go someone already said it's your ride do what you want, but the quality output is trash and they tend to go out pretty fast, so imo, don't do it, but if you like it and really want it, go for it.

Welcome, the car looks clean from what I can see.

The projector halo headlights, commonly called eBay headlights, are not too popular around here so don't be too surprised at the reaction you get to them. The reality is if YOU like them and they meet your lighting needs then go for it.

actually, if you search...its not only because they look cheap, but they are cheap. The Halos are known to go out. So the real reply is,

if YOU like them and don't care about wasting your money on them because they will fail, and meet your lighting needs then go for it.

I never spoke to their quality and I do not know what his particular needs are so I am not sure why you are attempting to correct my statement. In fact I never said why they are not popular, sounds like cheap look and cheap quality are the common opinion on that. I am not disputing your opinion (or search results) but my reply stands.

On the subject of lighting needs: The last set of eBay lights I installed for someone were purely for the projector lamp - which worked great. We did not even hook up the halos, just snipped the wires and removed the hardware. They meet the lighting needs we had for them since "known to fail" halos were not going to be used.
