    So, I bought the Sped D preassembled halo/halogen projector headlights. They were pretty bright but a few of the LEDs didn't light up and they don't have anymore in stock so I'm just getting a refund for the time being. I'm looking to get new headlights after I get my money back. My stock headlights are pretty marked up and dull. Would it be worth buying a new set of OEM comparable lights and getting a retrofit kit, or are the spec d's normally decent I should just shop around for a website that has them in stock? Or option 3 buying preassembled halos from another brand i.e. Spyder? If you vote for a retrofit could you please post pictures and a complete list of parts/tools that you used. I would prefer to do a minimal amount of tampering with the light so keep that in mind. Thanks 9eda3ejy_b728b8ed4de79b7b1b0e3c66dea9f7f91abda512.jpg8yzesa4e_1b0c26eac64f1dcb078a4fa7e98c1d25f6dabf63.jpg

    I bought a set of black housing depo headlights, non projectos, off of eBay. They look good just the way they are, I'm not too crazy about projectors anyway so I'm biased

    Have you been through any rain or water and if so, have you had a problem with moisture?

    I've got loctite clear silicone and I used that on my spec d's and after two rains still no moisture, but I want to make sure the ones I get don't have a reputation of moisture
