New factory style halogen headlights

I recently came across these aftermarket headlights on eBay. They appear to be the same as the spyder c bar headlamps only with a true "oem" style to them so I figured I'd give them a shot.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/172567887782

They installed perfectly after I ran an additional bead of silicone around the headlight to prevent any moisture issues. Plug and play and I replaced the h7 bulb it came with, with silver star ultra h7's.

These would also be a perfect fit for someone doing a retrofit and wanting factory styling.

For me I love the look of the oem hid's and for a faction of the price.(obviously not hid's) It appears to perform just the same, if not better than my factory halogens.

All in all, I am very happy. I can attach light output shots tonight. The only issue I see is the light reflects off the housing on the inside slightly. Not a huge concern to me. Let me know what you guys think!

They look awesome. I saw those on eBay about a week ago, how's the quality of the product? Please post some night and cut off pics. Thanks

Looks good Aaron! In combination with that black hood protector, things are tying together nicely. I also like the fact you didn't go with halos, angel/demon eyes, whatever you call them, looks a lot cleaner.:thumbsup:
Are those projectors using a hi/lo bulb?

Those are nice. I ended up doing a retrofit setup however if they'd had these months ago I probably would have went with them. They are clean looking

i will do for sure once it gets dark out. And the quality feels nice and stout. If I was blindfolded I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these and my old halogen oem's

Thanks! All I know is the h7 halogen bulb works with the projector and the high/low works well! I agree with you how "less is more" and I didn't want any LED's/halos/demon eyes and thanks!

they would be a very clean solution for a retrofit housing!

Crappy pics as of now but it's the best I can do tonight. The pics are lows with morimoto LED fogs, just low beams, and high beams.

I know a true retrofit or factory factory oem hid's will blow these out of the water so please don't flame me lol
