which lense are you talking about? The Halo's tend to go out on these fairly quickly as they over heat really fast. Personally I have a set of these purchased second hand and everything works fine except the projector beam is far from being a level beam, it arcs up on the right side of either beam pattern and I can't fix it with the adjustments.

Overall this setup is good for a cheap set, remember you get what you pay for. These would be a great set to rip apart and do a retrofit on since it'll be 10x easier putting projectors in these than the stock lights. Also one thing I like about these is they switch up the bulb location for the blinker and the parking lights.

NOTE: EDIT: Also a note to anyone who has these, the rubber caps that cover the low beam bulb access hole tend to fall off, nothing a piece of automotive tape (I just used the 3M double sided tape as if it were regular tape and didn't peel off the sticky side.) can't fix...

I just bought my angel eyes from ebay and I have a set of HIDs sitting in my room right now. Unfortunately one of the mounting tabs broke during shipping so I have to wait another 3 weeks to send mine back and get a new one.... But they look really clean but the problem with the rubber backing makes me think that there will be some leaking....

I gotta add my vote for them being pretty good however. When I got mine, everything was fine. Angel eyes worked, I've had HIDs in them for over half a year now, no problems with that. The headlights are adjustable, there's two screws one for low-beam and the other for highbeam if I recall correctly. It only moves it up and down however. The cutoff for both sides kinda angle upwards at a certain point, which makes for a clean cut-off almost impossible since you can't adjust them sideways.

That rubber stopper is porbably not the best design, but I haven't had any liquid get through it yet, so no worries there.

Otherwise, they're still imo much better than the stock lights.

How's the HIDs when it comes to your projectors Momak? Did you try and put the xenon bulb to try and line it up where the stock bulb filament would've been or did you just put your xenon bulb in without any kind of modification?

Does anyone know about the RRM projectors? if you scroll back through this thread and see the post i have when i pasted some links, one of the links is the exact same headlights RRM is selling, but RRM is selling for around $330 or somthing like that and on the website i posted they are $185.....Thats a huge difference, could it be that they are knock offs or dont come with something that RRM's does or what?

The link that you posted earlier isn't working for me at the moment so I cant really see... I'd post pics when I get the lights on.. That'll be around spring break for me once I get the headlights back.

Well I still get nothing... I think my computer is messed... anyway... I'm not too much of a fan of the headlights that you're looking at. The whole LED strip on top of the light doesn't work for me. At least with the halos you don't have that strip and if you don't like the halo you can always cut the wires so they dont work anymore....

Why cant anyone make a normal kind of headlight that are projectors, none of this LED, Halo crap that never works lol just a plane projector light lol But anyway yeah i liked the the stile that RRM sells, because they are not halo lights, just want a good set of projectors that work well, and i dont hear anything good about them.....ever lol
