Default Headlights

Im looking to get new headlight kit for my car bc the kit i bought did come with new aiming brackets and they werent sealed very well at all. So im looking at either the diamond or the projector headlights. I want something thats going to be bright. Also where should i get them so if i have another seal problem i can call them and get a new one?

I was looking around on 50resto.com and i found a headlight kit that might work for you. It comes with a one year warranty so you could get it replaced if you had that problem again.

I bought the projectors, and they were a gd pain in the *** to install, had to grind out a lot of the plastic molding... they look good now that they are in, but they are not as bright as I was hoping they would be.

I bought some projectors off of ebay for like $80 or so and they are pretty nice. I saw the same damn headlights in Jegs for like $300. I put in some bright bulbs before I put them in so mine are bright, but because of how the projectors are set-up I imagine they would be pretty dim with regular bulbs. I hate ricey looking cars, and they don't seem ricey at all to me. But to each his own I guess.

Yeah thats the exact setup I have. It looks really good on an all black car.
