Default should I buy halos or not?

I'm debating wether to buy halos and HIDs and which are the best ones, or wether to just smoke my tail lights and paint the stock rims black.

NO Halos....Do a Retrofit instead.

I got Anzo Headlights (Eagle Eyes) and I love them... Especially the HALO's. I have had them for 6 months and still going strong. I use HID's in them and the cutoff is not the best but they look nice at night and bright.

Yeah those do look nice and price is good but yeah I wouldn't be able to tell you the longest lasting ones. Good luck and go with what you like and if it all comes down to it... HIDs in your stock lights also looks nice had that before I got Halos.

unless you get the oznium halo rings that will last, all those ebay headlights that have the halos will burn out on you very quickly...also like someone said, the light output and cutoff on those is terrible so if you want to see properly, stick with a true HID retro or get the 08-10 projector headlights

Thanks for the heads up! Idk if I wanna try my luck on the eBay halos I'll try to look for some more expensive ones on eBay. I have a light blue scion :/ (I was originally gonna get a black one) n there isn't really anything id like to do just paint the rims black and smoke my tail light or by a smoked one n halos.. That's pretty much what I would like to do

For rims I would say PlastiDip because it goes on like paint but can be removed if you don't like it... I really like flat black but they have a ton of colors to choose from.

Alright! And also for some smoke tail lights. I saw these on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/221037416774?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649. Would they be good or do they seem pretty cheap?

"Angel eyes" are tapped into your running lights/side markers. HID's come on when you turn your low beams on.

I say no to all.
