Default i know im cheap

ok well first note that I am broke and rarely get a chance to buy stuff for the xB. Well since xmas passed I have some extra cash. So i need some quick opions before the cash burns through my pockets.

Are these really as bad as the price says?

From what I've heard from others, you won't be happy with the light output as it's not nearly as good as stock. Instead, see if you can find some good looking tails for around the same price range. I would go with something like these:

Personal fav. You can find them for cheaper I know for sure. Good quality and use the Lux type LED so they are really bright and extremely wide angle.

Actually, Cisco is running the expensive version of these headlights at the moment and seems to like them. If you go the ebay route, make sure they come with some kind of warranty. That same guy also bought some fake Helix Halo lights off ebay and they fogged within a month, the warranty when he contacted the seller only lasted 7 days.

you get what you pay for. if you decide to get 'em, you might want to reseal the housing to avoid it from fogging up.

I have the other Altezza tails and they fog tward the bottom lights. The seal
from the light frame to the case must leak, because I've re-tightend the car
to light seal many times and it does not help. Others in my hangout group
have their halo's and thyey do the same.
Sorry to dissapoint.

I don't know if I'd even get those. Well if you really want the dual round look on a budget I'd get these over those first ones. These second ones still look cheap though. Just my opinion.

I really like the stock headlights, as plain as they are they still put out great light. Maybe you should look into dressing up to stock headlights. Do something creative with them or throw some eyelids on them.

I had them for little while. The light was ____ty, so I cleared my stock lights filled them with SilveStars. Now I couldn't be happier, they look great and I can now see.
