Re: halo headlights??

unless you ride around with your park lights on in the dark noone will ever see them.have them on my 87 and you can only see them on low beam cause the bottom headlights cut off on low beam(4 headlights).but since roundeyes are always on noone will see them.i bought mine for the t4 bulbs and hid swap.you cant see the halos with the lights on is what im sayin

Re: halo headlights??

youll have to wire them on a switch.i had them hooked to headlight power cause when i hooked them to the parking lights they blinked with the turn signals.they can be seen but only around sunset.i just hooked them up to show you.i paid 120 for all four housings and hids for the top.well worth it as i can see now.

Re: halo headlights??

Are these style of lights very much brighter than a standard sealed beam head light bulb? I'm curious and don't want to have to purchase 2 sets of bulbs. Thanks.

Re: halo headlights??

the lights i have are hid which is more like a florescent light.as in there is no filament just gas and a ballast.definately worth the money.you buy the headlight housing for h4 bulbs then get an h4 hid kit.or get a complete conversion kit off ebay .then you can see.

Running hids in a housing not designed for it will blind everyone on the road with you.

The stang and pickup both look like they just got hypnotized. The pickup actually looks hypnotized and terrified, like someone hypnotized it and then told it that they were gonna pour a bag of sand in its valve cover.

I think a good upgraded light should just look clean, not gimmicky. I just want to see a nice clean, clear lense.

Ha! That's some excellent imagery to think of. The Mustang and C10 both have our V2 headlights with the bigger projectors meaning it's a little less subtle than other headlights.

We have V1's that have smaller projectors making it a little less wide-eyed while still getting the performance of a real projector.

Here's a customer's car with our V1's in them.

Re: halo headlights??

Dang, I wish I had known about those projectors before I bought my Hella e-code. Still for less than $100, I have lighting that is way better than stock and it retains a totally stock look on the truck. I'll probably do those projectors on my Jeep though.

Re: halo headlights??

i want projector lights like the ones just advertised but i cant stand the way it ruins the look of the vehicle. im sure its a great product but looking at that old c10 with the projectors just makes the truck seem like it has an identity crisis. cant decide it it wants to be old or new.

i bought the more expensive factory sealed silvanya headlights and they do amazingly well for a updated version of 40 year old lights. also make sure all your grounds are good and clean switch wires are tight. that will help alot as well.
