Alternative FC Headlights (projector)

I have spent the last few hour compiling a list of things and parts numbers from various sites. Some of you may have seen these headlights before, but I am almost certain that I am going to purchase these in the next few months, among other things, struts, springs, carbonfiber TII hood, etc. Anyways, I though I would see what you think of these as a replacement for the OEM sealed beam.
Also, those that already have these, what is you impression? $93.00

I also found some on ebay, they had the blacked-out projectors, and non projector crystal angeleyes. Im not to crazy about the "square"angeleyes, but the bkack-outs looked nice. I went to check recently, and couldnt find any. Anyways, these seem to be decent quality, and if they f'up then I can send them back. Also in the market for a good set of the Jspec FTP lights.

I heard these pseudo projectors are crap. They are nothing compared to real projectors because they are still inside of an H4 housing.

I have them, but I only paid less than $40 for the pair at ebay including the shipping cost. They look great on the car.

If you would like Brighter Lights,Better than these Pieces of Garbage,get the Hella Lamp replacements.They are basically the Sealed beams,without a Bulb.You have your Choice of Whatever you want to put in.Another Route to go would be Sylvania Silverstar Headlamps @ approx 25-35 bucks a piece.I have these on my FC and they are a good quality Light.I can light up a good 1/10 of a mile(seriously).I am always getting "told" to lower my High beams,even when they are not on High!..and I have had the lamps Positioned Correctly when I installed them.I'm not Trying to be all High and mighty,I just cringe every time that someone takes thier Money and Buys the Crap that EBay has..the Only Bright about Those Bulbs Is the Advertising!.(because it seems to Work!).

Word. I'm running the same lights, they look a lot better than the stock lights, nice and bright white.

I will third the notion. I think it's not only the bright bulb, but the glass seems to be cut so the light is thrown appropriately. You can almost see around a turn with how far they light to the side.
