Not sure if these headlamps are any good or not, can't seem to locate any reviews on them. They do look nice.

Every time I see something like this on a car, especially German, I cringe. I'm used to these kind of mods on civics and integras, cuz you see them all the time ; but I wouldn't put those headlights on my car. LED's and halo's ...what's next? Headlight eyebrow like those on Beetles?

If I was you, and don't want to spend the money for OE, I'd look for an aftermarket headlight that looks like the original. That's just my opinion though.

I'm not worried about cost, I have working OEM lamps on my car right now, was just interested in some halos because I like the look of them.

Here is 1 for Audi

If you're just in it for the halo's or LED's, might as well just convert your fog lights into LED daytime lights.

I'm honestly just looking for the halo's. Can't seem to find any pairs at all with the simple original look with just halos added around the projector and parking light.

These look hideous to me but opinions are subjective. I'm sure the quality however is significantly less than that of the OEM Hella headlamps housings. I would steer clear.

Define good. Me personally, NEGATIVE. This would be blasphemy...



but it is your car so do as you wish. Pretty sure you would have to hardwire halos to work anyways. At least that is what i experienced with my 06 accord back in 2009. Needless to say the halos were the only thing that didn't get wired up.
