I have installed some similar to the ones that those said they bought on ebay. Mine I bought from someone who had bought them from American muscle. These though are only led so do not shine as bright but work great at night. You will have to switch the headlight bulbs that come with the headlight because they will shine yellow and everything else is blue white. The high beam bulb is fine. Install is pretty easy if you know how to use a screw driver and can wire a little bit. Here is a link I used to guide me the whole way.

This is installation of lights

Within this video they show the name of the video that shows how to wire the lights. Keep in mind if you want to have the halos on without headlights on you have to wire into the running lights. They will stay on when you switch to headlights.

Good luck with these. They sure turn heads.

i had them on my old car and loved they way they looked...if only they performed as well as they looked...the light output on them was so bad i wound up using my stock fogs as my primary means of lighting.....just be warned, once one of the LEDs go out, theres really no replacing it....its all fused and molded together...not really interchangeable....after a while, some of the led's went out and that including my disappointment with the light quality, i eventually put my stockers back in...
