    I have read reviews from another members who use to run these. Problem seems to be they aren't sealed good so they off or leak a lot and the light output isn't to great either.

    I'd go with a retrofit kit from theretrofitsource.

    Pm andrewtrs hes a vendor on here an can help you out with a setup

    I have them they are alright, I would go the retro fit path if I could do it again. The halo's on them are not bright and the eyebrow for some reason aren't led so it looks weird.

    In a pinch or for cost effective wise they are good. They are better for running HID over stock because the projectors are better for light concentration and aiming... And they do look better than stock. I never had a problem with foging, but maybe because I was in AZ and NM... Plan on replaceing them due to the led's in the halo's going out in about 1.5-2.0 years. I'd say spend a bit more money and go with the CCFL Halos. Also I found them for about $180.00.

    I've never had a problem with fogging or anything of the sort either and I live in TN. I too plan on replacing them at some point.

    I had a set of these before I did a full retrofit from Andrew at TRS. I put HID's in them, and even with that, the optics sucked. There was a flare on the pass. side lens, and the light shone way above the cutoff and blinded other drivers. I also tried to put amber LED's in them, and they wouldn't work after that, so I just had the projectors. They really aren't worth it IMO, I still have them sitting in my basement with the HID's in them. I can't get rid of them. Save up, do some reading on HID retrofits, and do it right the first time.

    They are indeed O.K. Mine don't leak. The price was great, but the light output is less. No issues with blinding drivers. Also, you will not see the halos unless it is pitch black outside. My verdict...Worth the price. However, if money isn't super tight, buy better ones.

    The light output on mine were just okay... Untill I replaced the bulbs with 75 watt 6000k for the lows and 100 watt 4500k HID's in the high's and properly aimed them, then they were great!
