no orange peel?

Update as ive already said i have no intentions of buying the lights after what you all told me but tonight i had a blow out needed to do some runnin around to get my rim key. Anyways called my friend yes the lights suck. I would say output is 20% worse than oems one of his projectors is also pointed to hi im pretty sure driver side light annoying blinds my rearview. These lights are pretty damn bad seeing them first hand.

But halos look good on hondas and i dont think 99% of the world gives a **** about are lights lol. Seriously some acuras have halos right? might as well be a honda... I am in know way sticking up for aftermarket lights but if there was a halo retro and i had some cash i think id go for it.

Only cars that come with "Halos" stock are BMW's, and I think the new Camaro has some sort of halo going on.

And your statement that "Halo's look good on Hondas" is a matter of opinion, because I don't think they look good on anything.

boorishid are you confusing halos with projectors?

I was looking at some Halo headlights myself and don't have a lot of money.

Reading all of this about the quality not being there and most importantly that the brightness was actually less than OEM I am thinking they're probably a bad decision. Especially when you consider that I am wanting brighter high and low beams.
Though I think halos can look very cool and I have seen them on an Accord one time and they looked good and pretty bright as well but I'm certain that it also had HID because of the strange look of the colour of the lights. And I don't have the money for an HID kit right now. I have a 98 V6 sedan which has almost 330k km on the original engine and transmission. And the body has some rust on the underside and wheel wells and paint fading (or something) on the roof so it doesn't seem worth it.

I am definitely going to black house my lights as it appears inexpensive and I'm sure it will look great and go well with the darker purple colour "raisin" of my car.
