EBay Diamond Headlights
« on: Nov 17, 2009, 07:18:52 AM »
I found these for $3.45 don't know if they're worth a crap though I am going with not, but anyone have experience with these.  I saw them on a first gen on pirate4x4 and they looked really neat.

Give them a try if you want. 25$ isn't too steep. They will be better than stock. Round eyes are the way to go though. I have some Hella H4s and they are perfect.

i had some cheap clear lens ones like that on my 3rd gen and hated them they didnt shine at all, i replaced them with cheapo regular sealed beams from walmart and it was 100% better.

I love my Sylvania Silverstars.  Bright as hell.  I've got the best over the counter halogen bulbs in my wife's van, and they SUCK!!!  And I even polished the lenses too.

The lenses only account for so much.  How the inside of the housing is shaped and polished is where you'll get a lot of your performance, and the best bulb will only do so much without that.
