2008 Camry 'halo' headlights

I was just wondering what your opinion is on these. I've seen some pretty crappy/bad fitting aftermarket headlights in the past. Does anybody have experience with these?

^Those apparently come with an HID kit included. I wouldn't need the HID's though cuz I have a nice MTEC system already. Do you think their squirrel spotters are covered already?

^I think those look pretty nice also.

The first ones suck. The projectors are crappy POS.

The second is just the rings themselves. You will need to open up your headlights and install them

OOO good observation. I need to read things over more carefully.

Do you have any recommendations for a halo/dual projector unit? I have a hard time finding anything that's not on ebay.

Oh yeah, and JSM, I drove up to that SuperBrightLED place and they don't have a store open to the public. I peaked in the window, however, and it looked like they had been putting together shelves for a store. It's not a big deal though. Shipping is $5 and since I live in STL, I get their package in a day.

That would be fine. But I was kinda in the market for an extra set of headlights anyway so I don't have to perma-seal my squirrel spotters on the OEM units. I was going to get an aftermarket set to do the squirrel spotters.

How much do you charge for that and how long would it take?

We can use Foil tape to cover the spotters.

I usually would included that with a TSX retro if requested. I ship you the retro and you ship me your stock lights. This way there is no downtime.

The Original poster and I live in the same area, so we could knock it out in a day, thats why I offered.

Doesn't foil tape melt in HID temps?

Now that sounds like a good idea...

Because I like the camry better than most BMW's, especially because the camry has far more bang for the buck relatively speaking. And I also happen to like the look of halo dusk lights.
