Thanks, I have no intentions of putting hids in it. I do live in Nassau, LI. I was just looking to update the truck a bit, but without making lighting worse. I was initially just asking if these halo/ saber sport headlights perform worse than stock headlights without touching them. From the responses though I may just keep these nasty looking stockers.

IMO, a set of clear clean stockers look far better than the halos.

Hope you didn't buy from that website. Can get them a lot cheaper on Ebay. Those are what I have on my truck, but I did a projector retrofit in them with bi-xenon projectors.

haven't bought them yet. I'm waiting until Christmas to see if I get them.

If done right you can adjust retorfits the same as factory headlights. Mine can be adjusted using the factory adjusters, put out a lot more useable light, and look better than the whole round peg in a square hole like putting projectors into factory housings.

You can't put projectors into factory housings.. The fluting ruins the beam! :D


(Yeah I know what you meant.. ;))

I honestly don't think it looks bad though as long as the reflector is blacked out or color-matched. Lots of vehicles come from the factory with round projector fascias in squarish housings..

Where exactly did you wire in the halos? I've been fighting with them for a few days and i would rather not cut into the wiring harness. I've tried to hook the halo wires into the park light fuse but that will not work as there seems to be constant power to that fuse. (weird) When i tried that method the halos stayed on even when the truck was off and key was out of ignition. Help please?

Do not use a t-tap. Somebody used them on my Mustang and the wires started smoking and almost caught fire. I then had to remove half of the wiring harness. Someone also used them with the camper shell brake lights and that could have caught fire but I'm lucky it didn't. Just do it right.

Never heard of problems like that they must have had the other side of the wire ground there is a very low current that goes though to the bulb. Hell I have 12 taps on my tails for the LEDs and 3 on the front have had them on at least 4 years. If done right there is no way that should happen unless ur trying to do something dumb like push a amp off a reg 12 volt wire
