i bought them a while ago. the angel eyes never worked when i got them. it might be a wiring issue, or it could be that they just suck. overall, i like them better than the stock ones, plus i put an HID kit with it, so im not complaining. i never really wanted the angel eyes, makes it look tacky

^ I got the same deal as Norcal Lancer. Got them ebay projectors, halo never worked but I didn't want them anyways which ended up being a bonus. Housing does fog up sometimes, take time to reseal it, switch out the bulbs that come with it, or go HID like Norcal.

yeah, don't forget to seal up the headlights, just go to a car store like autozone and ask them about sealing up headlights and they'll direct u to this goo. I applied it to both my headlights and taillights, only my left head light fogs up sometimes, but not very often at all.

I have a set sitting on my couch right now, the quality is alright and the sealing seems to be good. I'll probably toss them in the oven and rip them apart to reseal them. I also don't like the Halo concept... I just wanted projectors and didn't have the time to do a retrofit.

Only thing I don't like about them is that they have this rubber grommet/cover on the back to cover the location to install the bulbs, it just seems like they'd leak really easily in my opinion.. Which might be why everyone is getting fog. I might look into an alternative sealing method.

i havent found angel eyes on any websites. you might be able to find a site if you look at the seller's ebay store.

also, the people who are selling the angel eyes, where are they getting them from?
