Got my CCFL's in. LOVE THEM
They just update the car so much. Night and day difference. The pictures on the net don't do them justice. I was worried based on some of the pictures posted here thus far, but maybe they were of weaker versions or the pics didn't do them justice, cause I couldn't love mine more.
The projectors are bright and much brighter than my stale originals. They are pretty much lined up perfectly too. I can see light on trees and signs that I couldn't see before. I had plans to get HID's installed, but I don't think I need them now.
The lenses, at night, look like they aren't there. Looks very very cool. The LED's I thought would be too much, but they just fit in perfectly.
The Halos are nice and bright, and everything just looks excellent. If anyone is on the fence about these, get them, you won't regret it. I got mine off Amazon, but they seem very similar if not the same as the Ebay ones. I don't have any complaints about projector alignment right out of the box.
I'm not posting pics until my car is done, but I'm getting close. Next is sequential turn signals in back and lowering and damn. . . I'm almost done.

Every pic I saw online scared me and made me want to rethink it. Once they are on the car, pure unadulterated LOVE. I'll maybe take some pics, but she's not where she needs to be so I don't want to embarrass her by showing off her flaws. But her flaws are lessening every day.

It really isn't pointless, lol. He gave a detailed review and told us to keep watching for pictures...seems like the point is the spread some good words and experience about something that was otherwise flamed on here in the past.
OP, keep us posted.

The best way to describe them is just modern looking. I saw a ton of new benzes and other luxury cars today and their headlights all looked nice.
As far as tree light why wouldn't I see light on trees that are 6 inches from the side of the road? The cone of light is pretty tight and contained in my opinion. At maybe 60 feet the right side cone is maybe 1 foot higher than the left. And the cutoff is very well defined. And its not just blazing away into the sky.
I will post some pics when the old girl is feeling sexier. But I don't think pics do them justice at all.
Everyone who has seen them loves them. I understand that there are a couple manufacturers so make sure you get the better ones with the brightest halos. At night the halos alone light up the carport bright.
