eBay got some new styled headlights and some sick LED fog lights.
What you guys think? Anyone willing to test fit?

Too black ... wish they had some chrome on the projector.

Not feeling the projector area where it's allllll blacked out

But seeing it on a car can change my mind

nice find btw

Coming from ebay, they're probably just crap.

^^ every single eBay thread I read on here states that all lights from eBay are crap. I would imagine that there are alot of bad eggs, but has anyone EVER purchased/tried/reviewed a purchased set from eBay?

Those fog lights look tasty. They say they're for 07-09. Would they fit in my '11 SE?

They're shaped for the 6gen, but if you do a little cutting on your end I'm sure you could make them fit.

I don't care for the fogs, it looks to me like they just took a light they had lying around and slapped it in there, I don't like how the top couple of leds are obscured. They play it off in the listing like it was an intentional sharp cuttoff, I don't think so.

I bought some of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vision-X-Sol...#ht_2458wt_901

I didn't get mine from ebay but these are the same lights. They are very high quality, and fit the height of the stock opening perfect. They were the most efficient in the world and probably still are, 100 lumens a watt! Waterproof to boot. Mine in the video are the spot pattern, really lights up the deer on the backroads and has some good fill in light for the low beams on these Camry's which have a bad dark spot right in front of the car on low. I did have to make my own mounts so those are much cheaper and easier to install. I put the fogs on my alarm key fob instead of the original seperate fob I used in this video, less stuff to carry.

You Tube

I do like the leds strip in the headlight housing, I would have to see them on a car though. $244 might be worth doing if I ever need new headlights.

Anyone know how to get it so all lights turn on when you unlock car?

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 01-02-2012, 11:16 AM

I only speak from experience.... i bought a set and they were crap, i was back to my SE lights in like 6 months.

The fitmet sucked, they basically had to be ziptied in because the mounts and holes didn't line up, the light output was just as bad... didn't even want to drive at night with them.

Not true. My halo headlights have been through SoCal summer and below freezing temperatures and they're still good.
The projectors aren't as good as OEM, but it's still not bad at all.

I plan to sell them soon though because I'm getting tired of the Halos
look. I don't know how bimmer owners can do it..

Thanks for the great find. I'm probably going to buy them and retrofit them lol and I just finished my retro too. However, if I do it, I'll probably end up replacing the LEDs on them, I am sure they have some cheap LED's that will die on me within the year, and then I have to consider if they reuse the same amber reflector from the regular headlights, cause if they do, I'll put on the clear reflectors that I recently just got.

I'll pass on the fogs though.

ChrisNYC11 · 01-02-2012, 05:47 PM

i love the styling it has...makes the headlights look more luxurious IMO but I will definitely be the guinea pig for these lights. I'll order them as soon as I get some money together.

Cool. I'm going to have to wait for these to go down in price though. I just bought a pair of the clear reflector ones that came out a few months ago and I just can't justify buying another. I agree, I do like the styling it has but I know I am going to end up tinkering with it, I also noticed it does not use the H11 and 9005 bulbs we normally use, they are using H7 and H1 bulbs. I also realized the clear reflector ones won't fit, so I am going to either wait till they lower their prices or wait till they come out with a clear reflector version.

I also have a few concerns about the LED DRLs though, but I'm going to wait till either you or someone else becomes the guinea pig.

I'd suggest anyone interested in either to add in a regulator to ensure the LEDs run at 12v. Otherwise you'll have some that burn out. Cars on the road NEVER run at 12v, which is theoretically what the ones posted will run

***heartdisease*** · 01-02-2012, 10:33 PM

The ones I used (fog) will run on 9-50 volts.

they sell fogs to fit the 2011.. but I'm not 100% sure that it fits the SE.
