The light output would be less uniform than the stock ones. You'll notice light output is more like shining a flashlight through a piece of crystal, rather than projectors you would see on a luxury car.

Meh, they're alright. Not my taste whatsoever, but they should work just fine.

There is the actual page link.
eBay projectors are what we refer to all lower quality projectors. The ones that are under $200 and usually found on eBay. For example, you paid $170 for the entire housing, projectors out of an Acura TSX cost that much just for the projector itself (the glass lens and bulb holder).

Woot. Did you save the lens? You can actually get somewhat decent money selling them.

I still have them somewhere, but its not worth the trouble trying to sell plastic projectors. They may be meeting a shotgun very soon.

I say that b/c it is the exact same product. I promise you, if you compare that to the product from eBay it will be the exact same from the same manufacturer. However, different prices.

Exactly, I paid $130 for my Anzos when I had them.

Smile About Those Lights

I think we should at least wait to see what they look like for real on his car, then we can make an honest comment on what they look like...Agreed???

Thanks. I didnt want to leave the taillights stock after we replace the headlights. I wanted black to match my grilles on the front but can find any other taillights. Anyone know where I could look?
