Those are crap. Save your money for the real thing. I've heard nothing but bad about those...

Check the Electrical & Lighting forum, there have been threads about these.

I've seen them on someone's car in person.

1. They aren't projectors, they're reflectors.
2. IMO the light output was awful.
3. They look even cheaper than they are.

Stay away, far away.

I've got them. The price was right and they look good. They are not really plug and play, you'll have to disable your daytime running lights to get them to work right then they put a whole lot of light. I've had'em a year now, no issues.
