That's what 97+ Eclipses come with stock. I guess all Talons have chrome housings. To me, on a white car, only a black housing looks good. I'll have to snap you a pic.

I love the look of projectors, but i still stand by my opinion when I say projectors are only worth buying if you have a set of HID in your possesion to use as well. Projector lighting is crap, especially those that use the H3 bulb. You might as well turn off your headlights and roll with only your fogs.

So true. I can attest to this. I bought a set from NOPI. Anzo's I think (although they were listed on the site as some other brand, Nakayama maybe) Anyway, they suck. Lighting wise and quality wise. The adjusters are not adjustable and I think I could get better light out of two candles, or two Nokia celluar phones. The brights aren't much better because they are aimed right at the ground (but come in in addtion to the low beams) And both have had condensation problems.

I like the look of the new Halo style, but I'm afraid I'll just be throwing another 2-300 out the window.

The original post listed the Dual Projector style headlights, I have those on my Talon; They use the stock bulb size not the shitty H3 bulbs... it actually was an improvement over stock.

I highly reccomend them; although if you have a 95-96 eclipse / talon; the dual projectors require an external harness (and its not included). I just cut my old ones out of the 95 lights and made one, but if your not comfortable doing one... I think nopi sells one.

I like the idea of using stock bulbs, however most HID upgrade kits use the H3 style bulb. I haven't seen too many 9005/6 kits.

I had heard something regarding the APC brand (original post) not holding up to heat well and melting - especially with HID. That would seem the only reason not get get them. Otherwise, I think they look great!

I've never heard of this before. Can you tell me more about this harness?
