    I know a bunch of guys on here have purchased the black eBay headlights (can't remember the name) and have said they are nice, but don't provide as much light. If someone were to say buy these lights, and throw in some good bulbs, like the Philips X-treme power ones, do you think that would improve this? I want the black lights, but I'm afraid to do the BHLM in fear of f-ing it up. Anyone wanna chime in on this?

    Thanks.

    Not interested in HID. If the eBay ones from Revotech suck, even with the much better bulbs, which I've already purchased, then I'll just do the BHLM. If they would work better, then I'll probably go that route, and save my stockers for just in case.

    I bought the revotech recently and the light output isn't too bad. There is and odd spotlight pattern to the lights. I have the philips extreme lights in them as well.

    I've heard good things about the ones from seller revotech. Heard they won't for up, but the light output is a lil bit less...
    Hence my question.

    I've got ones from Depo and the light output is the same as stock. No fogging either.

    I have the eagle eyes and they work great. Paired up with fogs they light up extremely well.

    Mine were free shipping but cost $120 lol...

    It's one of those tricks that try to catch people off guard.

    NOTE: I did not buy from that seller, but I did buy that product.
