quite a few peiople have them, including myself. Seal the edges up really good with siliconeso no moisture gets in and burns out the halos/fogs them up really bad, i've heard htey're infamous for that, but i've never had any trouble with it. Fitment sometimes isnt good, and the halos sometimes burn out in just a few months, but like always, its a risk with ebay and you get what you pay for personally i love mine though

Do you have to have anything specail to hook them up? can you just hook your stock bulb in them? I dont know anything about this sort of thing

mine came with bulbs for the low/high beams, then you use your stock turn signal bulb

and as for hte halos, you ground each halos, then wire al lthe positive ones either to a switch or wire them into your running lgihts so they come on when you turn your lights on. I have mine wired into a switch, i think its better because you dont always want them on when your lights are on

^ i think most ebay projectors come with the low/high beams, you just use your stock turn signal bulb/harness, it just plugs into the new headlight housing. Post up a link of the ones your looking at, i'm sure we could all help you out even more from there.

I have projectors bought off of eBay, the halos went out very quickly. I'm an Electrical Engineer so, it wasn't my wiring, it was shotty resistors, diodes, and LEDs. Yes, seal them or they will fog up with moisture. They came with bulbs and they were literally bolt-on and plug-n-play. Easy, fun, crappy halos.
