Hi guys I been looking around for good halo projector headlights for a good price and I came around Spec-D
I heard that the low beams need to be adjusted on this particular headlights.. How can I do this adjustment ?
Also what is your recommendation for LEDs bulbs? I know they come with H1 bulbs
Did anyone use these headlights? Any input would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Yaz

don't have them but probably safe to say they will not look good, at least IMO. off brand projector headlights tend to yellow/oxidize quickly and the projector is no where near better than OEM halogen or 2013+ OEM HID projector headlights.

save your money.

Those lights are just for looks. You'll regret the decision if you ever actually drive at night.

Thanks for your inputs guys.. I actually work in construction and I'm on night shift.. So I'm not going for them anymore.

I wanted to ask another question.. What if I go for spyders ccfls and add 5000k led bulbs.. Shouldn't it be very bright after?

Regardless of brand, Spyder, Recon, Anzo, Spec-D, etc, pretty much all of those aftermarket projector headlights are coming from the same factory in China. Terrible quality control and overall build/component quality. This is not the route to take if you want to see better at night.

If you want to increase your visibility at night, and are willing to pay for it, an HID retrofit can't be beat. There are also several "How To's" if you would want to try and take on that project yourself (which will be cheaper than paying someone else.)

You could also add some auxiliary lighting like light bars or driving lights; but you'd need to make sure to be courteous to other drivers and treat those just like you would the high beams in your headlights. Shut them off for oncoming traffic.

Let the Spyder/Anzo/Recon siblings stay on someone's shelf. Other than looks, they really won't out perform much of anything.

A true retrofit would be your #1 option, however that's a costly adventure. Honestly if you want better lighting performance & output then I'd try to find a complete set of OEM takeoff HIDs from a '13 or '14 before going the retrofit route. The OEM HIDs are much brighter than the stock halogens and they can be found in complete sets for around $800-$900.

Do it properly once, otherwise you'll spend money on the Spyder/Anzo/Recon and regret it.

I agree with most everything said so far. Only thing is that OEM HIDs are 800-900 for a complete set and you could get a full retrofit for that price.
