Ebay B/out'd Headlights (DIFFERENT ones)

Hey I know the whole "ebay blacked out headlights" has been covered many times in the forum, but ironically as I was checking out some smoke led taillights i came upon this.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/HID-07-08-TOYOTA-...QQcmdZViewItem

I'm definetly no technie when it comes to cars but is there any catch to this. E.g will the HID burnout like hid replacement bulbs or however their called. I just figured because many of us wish to either have the blacked out housing (and give or take the angel eyes) that this may be the solution since the other ebay ones did not have the 6000k HID lights.

If this set of head lights has already been covered, I definetly was not able to find it in search :/.

they're crap like every other ebay projector headlight.....best is to do a retrofit of your stock lights with TSX projectors..or any other that will fit.

Whats weird is that these blacked out headlights are made by Eagle Eyes. Same company who made the LED taillights. So I'm just curious how the LED taillights are a MUST buy but the headlights are crap (besides the fact that you cant retro LED tails)

I think those are similar to what Lammydi has, except that his aren't blacked out.

Here are some auctions that are made by Eagle Eyes

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...spagenameZWDVW
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...spagenameZWDVW
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...spagenameZWDVW

It does look sexy but I know the output would probably be crap.

Lammydi has Angel Eyes but its not these eBay products. His is a RX330 retrofit with angel eyes

My latest mod...RX330 retrofit and Angel Eyes

*EDIT*
Nevermind. I guess he did buy the Angel Eyes CCFL and just added the RX330 into it

Correct. LNGasman and I bought a set like this. Then we replaced the crappy projectors with the RX330 projectors.

Go to junk yard and pick up some cheap ones or if you're lucky...on eBay. Mod those and if you mess up, you still have the original ones. I'm seriously thinking of getting the TSX retro from JSM.
