If you are interested in these. I have seen them for as low as $191 buy it now price on ebay. They could go lower than that but i doubt it.

I think the bB in the pic would have looked a hell of alot better with the black ones. But maybe he is trying to be anti JDM, retro USA. So he got the chromies lolzers.

just to add my two cents the ones that you get off ebay (that i own and have mount) are not even close in quailty to the helix headlights. The ebay ones might be 100-190 and the helix 200-300 but the ebay ones that i own i now have to replace because they are shoty. helix halos are a more continous light thru the halos and the ebay ones have a choppy light. the ebay ones are made fragile and the mounting points snap easily, helix ones do not. so they may look the same but are nowhere near the same

Hey how long have you had your halos installed? Someone said once the halos are installed the burn out or something like that. Just wanna see how yours are doing. I have these lights and they haven't fogged up or anything. But they were the eBay kind soo idk.

Man in my opinion I think they are hott... but of course everyone is titled to their own opinion. Of course I love chrome so I'm kinda biased.

Yeah my rimms aren't for everyone. I got them because of the blue inserts. I'm trying to go with a silver w/blue lighting theme. The rimms were $1800 with all weather tires and when I got them and they arrived I almost didn't like them because they seemed to look better when I seen a pic of them than they did in real life. Turns out just like the xB they are unique and once I had them put on the car I grew to like them and now I love them! The car looks really great with them I think.

I've had the lights on the car about 7 weeks now and haven't had any problems with them. The car really does look a lot different from when I bought it brand new stock from the dealer. I want to do the interior lighting blue next but that is going to be a real pain with the current way involving soldering.
