New headlights

My boy is wanting to put these in. Anyone have any experience with these or recommend something else?

Thanks

Re: New headlights

These would look good on a Black primer, lowered truck

Yes. Exactly what I was thinking.

Nice. Post pictures and a review if you install them.

Re: New headlights

I have the ones with the led for turn signals on the sides. They look sweet, they work pretty terribly with the hids that come with them. Not a true hid housing, there is no focus beam pattern so the light is all over the place. I'm ok with them around town, but I'd prefer more light going further on the back roads.

That would be my concern with what I consider to be stylized "designer" lamps. They are, to me at least, an unknown when it comes to actual effectiveness. I trust genuine E-codes, with Cibies at the top of my list. Real quality, very effective lighting. Just my two cents....

Re: New headlights

Like I said look great. But I haven't tried a different bulb in them yet. Maybe a non hid would work well in these.

Re: New headlights

I don't have any experience with those headlights, but a similar type.

First issue: When the box arrived they said "Not DOT" approved. Probably wouldn't matter, but it bothered me.

Second issue: I would have had to cut out the inside of the buckets to get them to fit.

In the long run I ditched them and installed something different.

Re: New headlights

Oh Yeah, forgot I had to trim the buckets as well, and then find spacers and longer screws for the trim rings.

Re: New headlights

Thanks guys. Not against having to modify the bucket to get them in. For that price it may be worth a shot.

Re: New headlights

I also think these headlights would look good on a black primer. Also you can try to search here https://www.uzooka.com/. It may be profitable and the delivery is cheaper. I ordered from them. I asked to istall them a professional and everything still works great. I'm very happy with my purchase .
Good luck!
