$200 Headlamps

Whats up

Im in the need of some new headlamps. Its an insurance deal and I have like 200 - 250 to spend (cuz I wanna keep some of the cash) on lights. I just ordered the Carbon fiber hood so i'm thinking i want black housing. anybody know of some nice lights for around that price? I want 'em to be BRIGHT!

I would search but i need them ASAP and im at work right now. Any suggestions would help out a lot.

TYCs get mixed reviews here... Some people think they are crap (fog; poor lighting) others say they've never had any of those problems. I think the general consensus is that of the aftermarket projectors, TYCs are better ones you'll find (which might not be really saying much). I believe you can buy them from any of the vendors here for $200. I think they look good and might get a pair myself.

All aftermarket projectors sucks without hid retro fit.
Just replace with OEM headlights for now.

6ft5inAllMan is an unknown quantity at this point
I had the dual halo projectors and they light up the road really well for about 5 feet and then I cant see sh%t. Unless they are retro fitted they all suck to me. But they look nice

Get oem and black them out. Projectors will never be bright. They suck.

i have those.. they are friggin amazing.. joe i think you might just need to aim them correctly or something.. cuz they are sooooo much better than stock..

you will need to custom wire the halo rings.. you can just tap into the marker light wire for power.. however you might want to put them on a seperate switch cuz the halos are sorta crappy and will burn out/dim after a while..

I've tried aiming those things many times. I can never get it to be good. Your prob right that is one of my biggest problems, but I dont like how you lose vision on the side. Perhaps maybe you can help me aim them...what is the best way to do it. And what do the 3 screws do.
