A buddy of mine has those on his eclipse but his arnt the smoked ones but they are still pretty sick looking when installed.
The only thing is with them being tinted you really dont know how much visibility you will have with the tinted ones.
But I mean they do look sick!!

does anyone ever wonder why the halo part is on the low beam side of the light..... i bought a set of these for my s10 and think it was the worst thing ever noone ever sees the halo ### the low beam light hides the halo. i think bmw first came out with these and the halo was on the high beam side.......more practical if they are wanted to be seen

What color is your car? If it's any color other that white I would get headlights with black housings.

those headlights look ### in real life. haha.


I bought them expecting cool smoked ones but got lightly tinted all chrome ones.


trust me they look way different than that picture.

I like the black housing one,but the smoke one arnt bad either. I might get one myself.

I won't comment on the looks of these headlights as that is something that varies depending on what one likes. However, for the most part most of them don't light up much and putting HID's in them is a catastrophic fail, unless you do a retro. OEM will light up better, but if you really like how these look then I guess it won't matter much to you then. Good luck.

hubby's got some eBay projectors on the GST. they look pretty good, and they light up fine. they are not smoked though. if you want i can find a picture of the front.

Yeah, I don't know about those. The 2gb headlights look too good to change in my opinion.

like someone else said it only matters to you if you like them.

with that said 99% of aftermarket projector headlights are horrible.

the good way to do it (but not cheap): retrofit. this involves taking your headlights and the headlights off a car that has projectors STOCK and converting those ballasts into your assembly (example: TSX ballasts in an Eclipse assembly). if you have no idea how to do this, then i wouldn't recommend doing it yourself. find someone who does it and is good at it and have them do it. and if worst comes to worst you can PM me and i can get you in contact with someone who will do this for you. be warned it's not cheap. you have to pay to play. look at $400+ depending on what you want. he does projectors, HIDs, Halo/angel eyes, and those Audi light strips. pretty much anything to do with lights and LEDs and custom fabrication in regards to these things. and at a real reasonable price considering the work and cost for materials.

best of luck.

I'll sell you a set for 90+ shipping!

Retrofit is definitely the way to go, but as you said it's a bit on the expensive side and it's more than what most people are willing to pay.

At least all that I've seen light up horribly. The projectors in them are very low quality and are meant for Halogen lights, so when you put HID's in them the light pattern just poops! Even more when you put 10k or 12k's so they can look "COOL" then for real you won't be able to see anything.

i did consider it because im now using 6000Ks and i dont know if its my headlight housing but i barely get light to the floor.. but i sure light up all the houses, trees and everything else..

my friend again has them (ebay projectors) ... and he gets that projector line that i love .. and me i have none.. no line just brightness all over but the floor

I have had 8k's, 6k's, and now 4300's and I never had lighting issues. All I did was aim them down just a bit and I get a great light pattern. The EBAY Projectors will get you that line, but the light on the floor is minimal, at least all that I have seen so far.

I had a pair with the black housings on my last eclipse and yes i thought they looked cool. But after about 6 months one of the halo's burnt out so it kinda made the rest of the headlight a waste.
