So I'm looking to upgrade my headlights, just curious if anyone has these or knows of the quality. I'm very picky when it comes to lights but I kinda like these.

Suggestions are very much welcomed

Hard to tell from the pic but they are pretty faded since they have been on there for 4 years.

It's better to go with the branded ones like sonar or spyder. Also if you want your halos to be bright get ccfl not led

These look like the same lights but half the price. Make sure to shop around before you make a decision.

These are probably a little better. I don't know much about halo's, but I plan on getting some myself. But I do know that CCFL is better than LED & also more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I have the spyder ones with ccfl halos, paid about $200 for them from auto anything when they were having a 15% off sale. Great quality which is what i wanted.

Are you running HID bulbs in them or the regular halogen bulbs? I'm wanting to run HIDs and Projectors, but mixing them together is kind of confusing for me. I've heard mixed reviews about HIDs melting the projectors and also having problems with fitting the HIDs in the projectors.

06screwlariat - do you have a pic of them on your truck?

I don't mind spending the extra $$$ but want quality and don't want them to look like cheap rice burner headlights if you know what i mean lol.
