Lightbulb Halo lights on the 2GS!!

Okay well I've had it with all the condensation in my headlights.

My car isn't under warranty so I can't just have lexus fix them, "no biggie."

I've also broken a polarg bulb inside one of them and dropped a 12led wedge bulb in another.. lol I know I'm retarded.

Bottom line is I want new headlights and I've been looking at the HALO ones on ebay for $500. I really like how they look and don't care if they're "only meant for a beamer." Opinions aside are there any other reasons I should not do this? Bad reviews on the quality? Don't last too long?

I really like the look and am interested in doing this soon.

Also my headlights aren't HID.. they're the standard halogen that came with my 2002 GS. Will that be a problem? Will I need to go HID?

I'd appreciate any ideas/advice from anyone.. thank you so much in advance.

pull the trigger and be the first man.

also - you should go HID if you get those - the projector housings will spread the halogen light all around but it will be less than stock.

Aren't those Halo headlight projectors only for halogen bulbs? Or will HIDs work pretty well?

it's rice. do it right, and get some real projectors (actual factory HID ones) and retro-fit it. the money you will spend on those crap headlights will just be money wasted.

those seem less easier to screw up then retrofitting factory HID... and a lot less time and effort. i'd be able to bolt in some halos.. i wouldn't be able to retro fit...

For $500+ I would do the retrofit myself.

Dude, call Advanced Automotive Concepts and ask for Richard, I know him. They do Halos, retrofit and HID conversions all the time. I just googled them and their number is 1800-407-5776
