LED R8 style headlights

Does anyone know if these headlights would be good for my car?
Would they be bright enough at night?

Trust me when i say ebay headlights are crap! I speak from experience.
stick with your oem headlights and buy some philips X-treme power bulbs or do an HID retrofit, but try to stray from ebay headlights.

Re: LED R8 style headlights

they look nice but the leds would eventually die and you will need to change the projector inside with something better to have good night visibility.

If your stock lights do not look good then go with a stock style replacement, some have black housing that use the standard H4 bulbs, then use what the others said power vision bulbs.

Re: LED R8 style headlights

the leds i bet you could replace with brand name versions that will be brighter such as nichia, cree, etc. just depends how much you want to learn. may also want to look on hidplanet.com/forums if you want more info on changing the projector inside.
