    I've had halos for the last year and what a joke. Worst lights ever. Ballasts go bad nonstop and lights leak no matter how much I seal them.
    What are the best projectors for off roading?

    A hand built set of FX-R headlights will be way better offroad than anything you buy from ebay. Even stock headlights are better than ebay nonsense...

    To be 100% honest though... For offroading projector headlights are not your best bet. A good setup with stock reflectors and maybe a little higher wattage bulbs would be best.

    You shouldn't have HIDs for offroading. Get quality bulbs for stock headlights and add a light bar or two. WAY better

    I took my fx-r's off because the added weight was breaking the housings.
