Has anyone seen these projectors?

I was looking around the web and I totally understand that retrofit is the best way to go and the ebay brand sucks.

Any ideas people?

they look just like the ones on ebay. except you don't get as ass raped as you would buying from that site u linked

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/09-10...Q5fAccessories

the problem with these are the projectors themselves. these projectors are made for use with halogen bulbs not HID bulbs. This seller sells the headlights with hids, but they still use the projectors made for halogen bulbs.

They aren't the same as the CCFL ones on Ebay

Ebay "Halos" have LEDs along the side by the turning signal...

those ones have a reflector...

Not the same, but looks similar.
