I love my halo lights, but when I was shopping around I tried to avoid ebay. Dunno, I just have a hard time trusting them.

Its a pretty simple upgrade, but is a good attention grabber.

Where are you buying them from? Carid com has them for 280 a pair. But only one style. Any more opinions and sites to try?

I got mine here: http://www.buy.com/prod/spyder-toyot...222292822.html

I don't know if Spyder makes headlights like that for your gen 6. You have a 2007 CE correct?

Try this: http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...r_Amber_C.html
or for chrome: http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...ar_Amber_.html

they're great for looks but if you're about function too, you're SOL.

those ebay halo headlights do not have the best projectors and IMO are worse than the OEM reflectors in terms of output.

Could always get HIDs. I realize the product should work as is, but sometimes you gotta work with what you can get.

I will admit that my output did go down slightly when I switched from reflectors to projectors when I got my halos. Granted I've been struggling with getting the alignment right, but I've also been doing it half-assed every time I make an adjustment.

I have heard the same. Your better off just retro fitting the halo's into your OEM ones. They look good though. My car is silver and some day I would like it to look like this one! I love the LED tails and Black housing look!
