Default Projector Headlights for 87-93

I am looking to get a set of projector headlights for my 89 LX. I have had some bad luck in the past with headlights. I bought a set of clear diamondback headlights and all they did was fog up and leak. In fact, so much water got inside of them, that my headlight bulbs actually blew up.

Anyway, I need new headlights...I don't want the factory headlights, although I know they would be the highest quality. I want a set of projectors. What is a good brand that won't give me any trouble? I was looking to get the APC brand.

I saw these on eBay. They are so cheap. I called the company and they said they were APC. It just seems to good to be true. Should I go for these?

Considering these lights will cost me over $400 (including shipping) if I purchased them from APC, I'd say those one's on eBay are a good deal. I just didn't know if they were some cheap brand and the company is just telling me they are APC?

Yeah, projector headlights are the lights you see on the more expences cars such as beamers. But it's a certain bulb you have to buy for that blueish light.

If your looking for true HID's your never going to get the same quality as C6's and BMW's. If you want brighter headlights keep your money and just get Silverstars

Well they do look like APC. I have the same ones on my Stang. Abd that is a really good price, much cheaper than what i paid a few years back. Think i paid close to $300 for mine off Ebay, but i know it wasnt as cheap as what u are looking at. And so far the quality is really good, and of course the looks are awsome. I love mine still.

The lights that are on the BMWs and the like are not the same, you would need an HID kit to have what they hava
