I want to get halo projector lights. but I've been told that if you have xenons... which I do... that they will burn the halos. is this true? and are there ne projector lights id be better off with?

Dont bother with ebay/aftermarket projectors or halos for that matter.You are better off with a pricey,but wayy better retrofit.

what do you suggest? there's a performance shop down the street where I got my tailights n xenons from. but they don't tell you what is good and what isn't. you go in and tell them what you want n they get it.

I had the sonar ones, and their quality was rather poor. I have heard decent reviews about the TYC ones, so those are what I would recommend if you really want projectors/halos. But by far the best choice for just projects is a retrofit.

ANZO has really good projectors with halos around it. But to be honest the halos arent very bright and kinda look tacky...in my opinion

It all depends if you really like the looks or not, if you do I would get anzo or TYC, as all the others are pretty much garbage.

Your HIDs run cooler than standard 55W halogen bulbs. They run at 35W and are a lot more efficient than halogen, meaning most of that 35W is being turned into light and not heat.

If you get halos, youll need to order new HID bulbs, which are about $40/pair, because the bulbs you have in your OEM housings are not the same as the ones the projectors will use.

Projectors will come with halogen bulbs in them (usually; mine did) and I think they are H1 bulbs, but double check when you get them.

And that performance shop you go to is probably ripping you off big time. Get the projectors on eBay (TYC or ANZO please) and the bulbs from ddmtuning.com.
