Rep Power: 306 I have the halo's, and the light output isnt that great. I herd TYC has better light out put, but not that much of an improvement. I think Halo's look waaaayyy better than TYC, but I know TYC is better quality and has more light output. Stock headlights still give out the most light. Im about to put back my stock headlights because one of my lenses for the halo's got lose so I gotta open it up and fix it. I seen halo's go for like 145$ shipped on e-bay. The lowest I seen TYC is 195$ shipped i believe. Also, when your driving with the lights on, you cant even see the halo. Its no where near what the bmw halo's look like, so if you get them, dont expect them to have a clear visbile ring. You can basically only see it when its dark out, and with your headlights off. Check out "my ride" I have a few pics of them.

Here's my halo projectors. 
I bought them for the 'organized' layout of the bulb pods. The pods are evenly sized and straight across. I didn't hook up the halos, because I don't really care and they do burn out after a period of usage.
My next choice would have been black TYCs, except for what I just said. If you're concerned about legality, then just pay for TYCs and you get a 'US street legal/dot compliance' certificate and you also get a warranty (i think).
Light output from any aftermarket headlamps will not be the same as the stock headlamps because the whole housing is used to aim the beam in the stock headlamps. You should pick out MTEC or PIAA bulbs to get the best results. These bulbs are not weaker than stock bulbs; if you use them in stock headlamps, then you will actually get a brighter light, but it's the aftermarket headlamp that takes away the brightness because it only uses a small pod to focus the beam.

They really shouldn't (when brand new), unless you take them apart. But it would be a good idea to seal them up with Silicon or other sealant. just so you don't have to take them off the car after you install them and if they do fog up.
