Default Dual Halo Projectors W/LED's advice

Well, I'm looking to get new headlights. I have the stock housing with HIDs but the driver side housing broke where the bulb is held in. So my best friend, named duck tape, is holding it in! So, I was looking into some new lights all together instead of keeping the stock housing. Now, do the Halos come with bulbs or can I use the American Muscle HIDs that I bought in them? Anybody have personal experience with them that liked/hated them? Please share. Thank you!

In my opinion, I'm not a big fan of these lights. Other people that have them on their cars have complained that the light output is terrible, and I think I read somewhere that you're not supposed to use these lights with HIDs. You have to change your bulbs from the the H13's to H1's, so, in my opinion, it's not worth it.

Oh ok. Thanks. Well, is there anything out there good? I liked the smoke look and I would like something that can use HIDs. I like to see at night! lol...

Well, if you're just going for the smoked look, you could always tint your lights. Keep in mind, this is illegal, however. I personally like the look of the big lamps; It's more retro than aftermarket lights like those projectors. If you're wanting something different, check out these lights.

Well, mine are smoked thanks to member ONF1R. But, I was just looking into other lights. I like the look of the big lights too, just looking at alternatives. I actually like what you show me here a lot. Those are nice. But it seems that it uses the factory hook up and I can't utilize my HIDs I bought... But, I might look into these. They are nice! real nice!

The Eleanor in the AM web site is mine! I love the look these give! I'm pretty sure you can fit your after market HIDs to them!
