Does anybody know about these, or if they are even close to worth it? I would assume not, but if they are then i believe it is a good deal...right?

Yes they look great, check the sig. The light from the H1 halo's they use are not the greatist but not terrible. The angel eyes look good but are not as good as ccfl's. H1 hids are supposed to fit with slight modification, im still waiting on more info on that tho.
light output 6.5/10
looks 8.5/10
fitment 10/10

The hid conversion kits that they sell here on nc.org will work with these right?

From my understanding you have to bore the hole open for the bulb a little bit or something, im not sure and I havent seen my car in 12 months so I cant really help ya.

I agree. The light output from the H1 isn't great but it's not terrible. Angel eyes look awesome but i wish they were brighter like ccfl. Unlike a lot of people here, i had no problem fitting my H1 HId's into the Halo projectors. Just fit with no modification. But my word of advice is that if you get the halo's be ready to adjust the hell out of them! my beam pattern was all over the place after i got mine and i had to adjust both of them. not perfect but close enough. hope that helps :)

i agree with the light output for the H1 bulb, but i rarely use my highbeams so i dose not matter to me. i didnt have to adjust mine because they were perfect to my eyes. but i do like the look of the angel eyes at night.

I have them, they are fine just like stock but less light output.
Anyway the HIDs should make the light output as good or better than stock halo's

yup save your money, you can do your headlights for the price of paint and some gasket maker. Then you can use the money you saved to buy a quality HID kit.

Ouch...from what i hear they suck. They look awesome though. I am debating taking my silver on silver car, and turning it to black and sliver. I know it might be played out or whatever, but there is just something about the silver and black that i like. Now im sure that i am gonna be told search it up or whatever on this question, but is there either:
a) a way to make my own 'angel eye' headlights out of the stock ones? If so how hard is that gonna be to pull off, because i am not very skilled when it comes to the whole led type of thing.
b) Just a better all around HID kit w/ Headlights and all?

Those headlights look great but the quality seems to be off. Look at a1montee's lights and I know his are not that old. I would either paint your stock housings or wait for some OEM HID headlights to come up in the for sale section. They are expensive but they are the best quality. Here is a pic of my OEM HID headlights.

Well thanks for the advice. I saw that there was a like 8 page GB goin on for these, so i thought i would be good...thanks for saving me $220, even though they are pretty sweet looking headlights.

mine cracked after a month in the Texas sun, so i put the stock ones back on. had some money left, so i bought some hids. theres such a huge improvement over those crappy halo headlights, it isnt even funny. now if i could just find someone dumb enough to buy them...
