Stock or Halos seem to be the options. Get creative with the stock ones. Cut a little different shaped eyelid. Something more like the BMW etc etc

How long did it take you to figure out those lights are total ****!! Threw mine in the dumpster (for real!!) after I had them for 2 weeks and they fogged, not to mention pass side pointed to the sky (no adjustments) those lights SUCK!! Now if your just gonna put them on for a show they look cool but other than that............ppsssssshhhhttt forgettabouit!!!!

The only after-market one's that are half way decent are Ichiko Style.

Ichiko Style Lights

peace!!

Please retro fit, and don't use a "kit" in halogen housings. They look horrible, give out alot of glare, and basically suck.

I think he's saying not to put an HID kit in a head lamp that doesn't have a projector with a built in cut off. I'm looking at these lights:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...965&highlight=

They are projectors with a nice cut off that I believe would work with an HID kit nicely. I've seen people put HID kits in the dual projectors that you have and it looked fine, no dangerous glare, nice cut off, etc. I see no reason why an HID kit wouldn't work in these new eBay lamps. Those Ichiko style lamps look good, but I wouldn't advise putting an HID kit in them because there is no way to direct the light.
