Default HID headlights?

Anyone seen those flamed headlights they sell at stylin concepts?

They look like the Sylvanias, but have those flame inserts. Would they be worth a crap? How come I don't see those Sylvanias for sale anymore?

Yeah I was lookin at those too, but I hated the flames on the side, so I got the TYC's instead, with just the clear glass, and I'm actually gettin my HID's installed in them right now. I've been doing a lot of research on all these headlights, projectors I have heard suck from everyone I talk to (you have to switch to an H3 bulb), I tried to get the sylvania lense but couldn't. I didn't want to get the whole kit because I didn't like the color of the HID, it looked to stock. So I got the TYC's and a seperate 6000k kit.

If you search google you will find lots of places selling the Sylvania X2020 headlights. Aftermarket projectors do suck for our trucks, but quality projectors (bmw, mercedes, acura, etc.) are a lot better than reflector.... you COULD guy a projector kit and fit it into your headlight that would work quite nicely. Or just buy the x2020s like I did

Y'all Might Want To Watch Out When Using Hid Light Kits With Projector Lenses Cuz The Heat From The Hid's Will Fry The Lenses.
