Default Quality projector headlights?

Im looking for a good quality (halo) projector headlight where I don't have to deal with burn outs , moisture build up etc... anyone familiar with any brands? I looked at vertex racings projectors and really liked them, but 250 ehh little steep. Im willing to pay that if it will make a difference, but interested to hear some feed back, iight thanks.

there are no quality headlights, they are all the same cheaply made ebay garbage that will most likely fog up or have LED's that burn out in a week of use.

only good ones are either 08 headlights, or retrofits.

hmm almost knew the answer but was hoping not to hear it. Alright, time to come up with another mod, messing with burn outs is the last thing I want to be bothered with
Thanks.

Yup. Don't even bother with those other brands.

Tre true. Maybe you could slowly assemble the parts for a retro and then do it later!? Retro'ed 05-07 lights are the best looking IMO.

the cutoff and output on those are horrible! Better off with the 2008 stock headlights.

i got the eagle eyes from ebay and theyre crap!!! ive opened them 3 times and retrofitted new ballasts that they sent to me on warrantee cause the regular set up was electronic boards. the new setup are 4 ballasts consisting of 3 led bulb holders a piece. after installing them they lasted 3 months and the cheap led bulbs that were in there started to burn out. i should have gotten bulbs from superbringtleds before i sealed them now 2 are burned out. the halos have always been fine........ i think im just going to put some nia eyelids over them. dont get the eagle eyes or youll be very sorry, what a pain in the azz!!!!!
