Looking for best halo/projector headlights

[monster05]

Okay I'm looking for the best but kind of lower priced headlights for my 05 taco. I like the look of the Spyder projector headlights, but i haven't really heard anything good about them.

Retrofit.

I like my spec d's only downside was the high beam and projectors weren't LED just the halo its self. So I'm getting a light bar to compensate. Also the grill on my truck is from amazon very clean grill.

Retrofit.

+1 - A retrofit into OEM style headlights gives you the BEST output and performance available. A lot of the "halo projector" style lights (as the OP uploaded a pic of) are often terrible - they can have even worse output than stock halogens - fitment issues - shoddy internal components and just overall sub-par build quality.

You can build a set of headlights OR have a set built that will end up costing more than those - but last 10x as long and give you superb light output.

Bad Output

Genuine HID Output (customer submitted)

That depends on your budget and goals to be honest.

Here's mine

Just to note - those aren't retrofits - they are "projector headlights" -- a retrofit refers to modifying OEM or OEM style headlight housings with genuine HID components. Yours still look sharp, but just wanted to point out the distinction.

I build retrofits and you cant go wrong with them. HID's are unbeatable in light output and quality

Duuuuuuhhhhh
The title of the section says "halo/projector". Just so you know the difference....

Pro tuning lab makes great halo headlamps. I just ordered a pair with all the bulbs for only 200 bucks. So far I love them! And they are high quality lamps better than OEM in my opinion.

Any LED head lights?

Just get a plug and play led conversion kit I love it! Comes with a ballast and you plug it into your existing harness I think I paid like 150

Have a picture of the headlights on at night, while facing them? Id like to see the scatter.

Diodes and filaments have the same characteristics?

Sounds alot like the hid pnp fad a few yrs ago.
