Default Bought some new headlights

The other day I was browsing Craig'slist and found some aftermarket projector headlights that fit our year. The guy wanted 50 bucks for the headlights that are 200 brand new. There ones are almost like new.

I threw them on last night and holy ****. They look soooooooo good. The low beams are kinda weird and not so good although I have some led pods to throw on to help with it. But the high beams are crazy bright and shine great

Looks good those are my favorites. Much better than the garbage L/Harley replicas and good halogen bulbs.

Few rental cars ive driven with projector headlights have insured Ill never buy any or buy a vehicle with them. Its like a black curtain is across road in front of you, you cant see far enough on low beam at all. Especially on winding 2 lane wooded highways. Less peripheral light also . Very annoying. Bordering on unsafe imo.

I have heard that about some projector headlights but I am pretty happy with what I have bought personally

Agreed! The stock bulbs had to go after I drove my wife's Edge. I replaced them with a good HID kit, they not only work better, they look great too.
