Are these headlights good quality/worth 400 bucks?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-07...ht_4903wt_1165

I'm kinda tired of my headlights, I've put a lot of effort into them but they're still yellow and annoying.

So i checked out headlights on ebay and found these, if you guys have any other suggestions or cheaper headlights i'd really appreciate the advice.

so my concern about these is that they are only 400, i thought good projectors cost 600? can anyone comment about these headlights' quality or brand?

First one is ugly as hell, but 2nd one is alright. A lot of people don't like the "bling bling flashy flashy i want BMW Audi esque headlights but I drive a Nissan" thing, but yeah. Get the 2nd one. Post pics.

I completely agree. 1st one pales in comparison to the 2nd. and my car is OB so the black would be sick.

You're choosing form over function! The projectors in those after market lights, Strafe's included have far inferior projectors than OE lights. You will be sadly disappointed with the light output. If you're just buying them for looks, knock yourself out........

okay thank you, thats what the purpose of this topic was, am i sacrificing any quality of the headlights for aftermarkets.

has anyone actually done a test of the light difference? maybe pictures? or is it that obvious

Just cus they look "cool", doesnt mean they preform well. My experince with aftermarket "cool" headlights have lead to a bunch of issues and poor visablity.

But its your car and your wallet, do wat ever you want.

I wouldn't put those ricer lights on my car if you gave me $400.

Be a sensible person and order 06 projectors. Black them out if you really want an aftermarket look.

first thing you should have done was searched to find the 20+ threads pertaining to these garbage lights.

Secondly, read those other threads then report back
