Please don't get those...

If you're gonna go with projectors, go with a retrofit. Try to find some cheap used OEM headlights and find some good used Acura TL or TSX projectors and retrofit them into the housing. I've heard horror storries about those halos and the beam pattern those projectors put out.

If you must go with a prebuilt projector, go TYC's

i actually have those lights and let me tell you they suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they use an h3 light bulb. they are not hard at all to install! but they dont light the road up worth a . i had them on my truck for a while but had to take them off cus they do not light up the road at night. i went back to my stock headlamps with some silverstar bulbs.
for looks they look pretty good but if you want them cus you think they will give you some bad *** lighting then dont get them!!

from what i gather, a friend had these and he said they're cheap lights. they fog up and the halo's have a lot of problems. i'd save your money and buy something worth it.
