Default Ebay (projector) Headlights - Anyone have experience with them?

I love the looks of the halo projector headlights, and ebay's always the first place I shop around to ask questions and get an idea for prices, but it's also the first place I'll question on fittament, quality, and so on. Has anyone bought or personally seen an ebay headlight like the ones linked below? I'm just worried about quality of lighting, fittament, that type of thing. I'm also wondering if these types of lights have daytime running lights like the stocker, cause I need that option. But I'll ask the sellers that quesion.

i have ordered numerous sets of headlights and taillights off of ebay. The fitment is good, just make sure your buying from a trusted seller that has good feedback. Quality isnt as good as stock lights but it is still good. Just make sure the seller has good feedback and you should be fine.

I bought some blk. housing Angel eyes and one of Led's went out in like 3 months i got it replaced for free though with the warranty. They turn alot of heads, but the only drawback is there not that bright cuz they use H3 bulbs for the low beam, high beams are bright as hell. Just get some PIAA bulbs and theyll be cool. they boost the look of your ride 200% though!

yea when u get the projectors you might have to splice into ur parking lamp wire for your halos to work. I know my buddy had to on his s10 but idk if its the same for a mustang. It was quick and easy install that took me like 10 minutes.

i'm not familliar with projectors, so how does that work? Is there a bulb behind that bluish rounded dome? Or IS that the bulb? I just don't wanna spend the money on these, and have 'em barely light up the road, yanno. Nobody's said anything about the daytime running lights either ...

If any of you guys actually have a set of these (off ebay) installed, could you take some day AND night pics of em for me? That'd be awesome...

I'm not lookin for lighting any better then stock, really ... I just like the looks of the projectors. I don't get that you say these lights use an H3 bulb ... I thought the "projector" was it's own bulb...which is the light used for the headlights ... no?

Still lookin for pics of these things at night, if anyone can get one. And still wondering about the DRL's too ... anyone?
