my projector that i got off ebay are still kicking after 1, maybe 2 years, i can't even remember how long i've had them. I sealed them up with silicone so moisture doens't get in them (although it still does a little), but other than that they work fine. HIDs are gonna more expensive and a little more intense of an install, and i don't think your friend would be disappointed with those projectors you have right here ^ although remember anything you buy off eBay will be a risk and theres always the cahnce (like Trust mentioned) of getting a crappy set of headlights; maybe i just got lucky

I like that second selection of headlight better because on the first set you had those 3 smaller bulbs that glowed blue and well I have those style of headlights as well and my left side where those little bulbs are at are burn marks from the sun reflecting off them so I have two tiny fuzzy spots you can see on the headlight from then.

I don't like projectors but if you must get them, the second set you just now picked out is 100X better looking than the other set. The other set looked like they belonged on a spaceship.

Remember to seal them up with silicone, where the lens meets the housing, so that moisture doesn't get in and fog up the headlights.
