Question Would these look ok on my car?

I'm wanting to change up the headlights, but don't wanna drop the $$$ for projectors at this point. I'm debating these, but not sure how good they'd look on a black car.

I'd get that whole package right there, corners and all, if I do it at all. What do you think? Any opinions on anything else I can do, that's not totally over done, to spruce up the outside a bit? And don't say lower it, because yes, I know it needs lowered. But I'm getting longtubes and I can't lower it while it's still a daily driver Window tint is also in the near future.




Edit: I almost forgot....SS Spoiler is in my garage right now, gotta get it repainted due to a terrible job by the first painter.

I think they would good. Better than than black headlight and turn signal covers- kind of a stealthy look.

I have those exact things.. pic in sig of what it looks like on a black car. I like them personally.. I had some problems with the people I bought it from, though.

Edit: easier to link it.

My only pet peeve is alignment, installation and the fit and finish. Really to be expected from an ebay auction like that. I love how they look and I get tons of compliments on them.

Also.. the halos aren't bright. They don't show up during the day, and the auto lamps come on before you can use them before nightfall. They're more or less a novelty to show people.. "hey, look at this."

Any problems with fitment or quality?

Edit: Looks like you answered without me asking lol

Edit #2: Exactly how bad is the fitment and quality? Enough that it's not worth the cash? I don't expect them to be perfect, but I don't wanna throw money down the $hitter either.

The brackets they come with are alot cheaper feeling than the stock ones. The good news is you can easily remove both and swap them out.. which fixes the alignment and fit and finish issue. The rest of the headlamp is decent, except for the metal piece the headlight bulb secures and screws into. Its very cheap metal, and mine was missing 2 out of 3 screws (which they still haven't sent me, after 3 emails) but I think that was probably just the ebay guy I bought it froms problem. I don't regret the purchase, and I'd do it again if I had to. All in all a good mod to do.

Why not make you own for less and work better? With this you can actually have projectors and not spend very much. http://community.webshots.com/album/116863233uyEamc

He used the HID version but you could do halogen at this point.
