Anyone familiar with these lights?

Buy.com - Spyder Mitsubishi Eclipse 95-96 Halo Projector Headlights - Black

Came across these while looking for a set of black background lights. I like the look, but i was wondering if anyone has them on their car, and knows how well they're sealed, easy they are to hook up, and the like. can't find much feedback on them anywhere.

Those look really cool. I think i have seen a pair like those on andys auto sports. You might check out their website and see if you can find any feedback on them. They usually have a good amount of info.

They looke vaagely familliar to the ebay style headlights//Which they could even be..


I have seen pics of wires melting, with the use of ebay headlights...

So it may be hit or miss..Or Just miss..Your call..

Just a heads up, if you have a 97 those won't fit (you need the 97-99 version: http://www.buy.com/prod/spyder-mits...alo-projector-headlights-black/222292788.html). Either way, I've had a set similar to those, they aren't made as durable as the stock ones (lense not as thick), but they'll work.

Yes 97-99 only..Unless you want to swap bumpers too..But the 2gb bumper is sexier anyway..

Agreed 2gb is where it's at. I'm debating about getting those same lights foy my car because the stock ones are having sealing issues.

That's true for the eclipse, but i was under the impression that all talons used the 95-6 style eclipse lights?
And not to worry, whenever i get around to ordering/installing these bad boys, I'm swapping to another 2gb talon bumper, without the foot long crack in the middle.

Yeah you're right. I skimmed quickly and saw 97 didn't pay attention to Talon. Yeah in that case it's the right ones (you need the 95-96). I'm so used to buying Eclipse parts...it shows

On the flip side though, you can still use the 97-99 headlights with a small gap. It enables you to get more cold air in towards the intake. http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/files/6/4/0/6/1/engine_bay_april_23_2011.jpg

I have almost the same set but mine are chrome. But honeslty for that price, on ebay i got my set with 6000k hid kit. Have had them for about two years with not one problem. If you want a link to where i bought mine, i can try and dig it up.

I got 2 sets for sale for 2gb. Pm me if interested

If you want projectors, you can make your own. Take the projectors out of a Acura.

I have a pair of these along with 8k HIDs, they've held up so far, held a seal, havent pealed, the halo's still work fine, wired them to my running lights but i dont use them that much.

Went ahead and ordered a set of the 95-96 ones. Don't figure i need the extra airflow to my N/A. I'll definitely post before and after pics of the bumper swap and everything when they come in. Thanks for the feedback guys.

Edit: On the topic of the bumper, i'm planning on rattle-canning the bumper white to match before i put it on, as a temporary thing until a friend can get it in to autobody class and fix the rust and paint the whole car. Should i lay down a coat of the flexible bumper black first, to keep it from spider webbing, or will the white do it even with the flex underneath?

There's a similar set that's on my car. I like the look of them, but they do have a tendency to condensate, and the fitment is ok, but not the best. But they are ok...

A bead of silicone where the lens meets the housing will fix that.

The lights came in yesterday, look good, appeared to be sealed well, but an extra bead of silicone never hurt anyone. Installed them tonight but a downpour started with 2 bolts to go, and my trouble light threw sparks and called it quits, so i'll have an after picture in the morning.
