Default Install & Review: Sypder Halo Projector Headlights

I bought the Spyder headlights with the LED Halo and projector, note, the projector is not LED, it's halogen.

The headlights look good, and I think it's a nice upgrade over stock. The Retrofit Source has a kit to replace the Spyder headlights one. The projector that comes with this is okay, but not of high quality, and it only fits a halogen H11 bulb, which is included. The retrofit option comes with HID which better match the LED Halo.

That said, overall, these are an upgrade over stock. The projection is still much better, and I'm not lighting up the crowns of 100ft trees like the stock housings.

The construction is by no means "high quality." The Halo is a simple plastic piece back lit by LEDs. However the housing itself is sturdy, and is protected against moisture by a warranty should there be any issues.

These are the headlights that I used: http://amzn.to/2nOcPRQ

Awesome video! I am thinking of buying these same headlights and that vid was very helpful.

Can you add led headlight bulbs to these projectors? I’ve read somewhere that the the fans on the bulbs make it impossible for them to fit in the housing

I have a set of led putcos in mine. I have the same cutoff as the video. They are nice. Very crisp and work fine in the projecter.

I installed Spyders in my 2009 - converted them to HID's but still not what I was looking for. I bought the Morimoto replacement projector from Retrofit along with 35 watt bulbs and the full wiring kit. What a difference!
I will say that melting the lights apart and replacing the projector was not an easy job, as some say, but still quite do-able with lots of patience. Recommended.

Default Set for sale

I have a set for sale if anyone is interested. I was going to put them on my '14 Lariat, but changed my mind.

Does anyone know of a good video video that shows how to adjust the headlights? Mine seem to be pointing way lower than the stock ones.

there are 1/4" posts on the back of the headlights behind the bulbs. one set moves it left and right, the other up and down. there is no way to adjust them while the lights are installed however, you must remove them. it's a trial an error process until you get them lined up right.
