Are these any good?

Skelly · July 13, 2016

I'm looking into blacking out my front end with black bumpers, grille and headlights. I came across these from a quick google search. Looks like they come with HID's for a price of 324.99

Anybody have any input? They also offer just the projectors with no HID's for 254.99. Would it be better to just get the headlights and buy HID's elsewhere? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I would buy the HID's elsewhere.

Theses are the ones I've been using for about a year with no problems. Didn't need a relay or anything else

I looked into these and have only heard bad stuff about the cheapo-depot. I believe they use H1 bulbs and their projector is of terrible quality...

Go to a junkyard and get some LTZ headlights for the same price. Or if you can find a set of Eagle Eyes.

What projectors do you have?

Damn, that kinda sucks to hear. They are a great price but not worth it if they suck. What makes the projectors suck? I that topic you posted in about the eagle eyes but weren't they discontinued?

Just the stock GMC projectors

Yes they were discontinued, but some headlight shops could still have some pairs they want to get rid of.

Using cheap bulbs is the worst part...H1 is more of a foglight scatter effect. But using a cheap projector doesn't help.

Got it, any recommendations if I can't find eagle eyes? I don't really like the Anzo's, the LED part is too fancy for me

Yeah I'd get the actual LTZ Projectors if you can...they'll hold up longer too. Do you have any junk yards etc near you?

Not too sure, Fort Lauderdale is a big city so I'm sure there are junkyards somewhere. But even then I feel like there's a small chance there's a 2014/2015 LTZ in there. Plus I really like the look of the blacked out headlights

Lots of 14-15 silverados have been wrecked now...I'd say you'd have a pretty good shot actually. I had a buddy who called 2 and got both of his for $300 total.

You're going to have to vinyl wrap the headlight trim - which the headlight trims are actually really easy (they can actually pop off too if you feel like doing it yourself/painting it), I was charged $50 for it.

Oh cool, I will look into it. Thanks!
