I've been running a set for several months, no complaints. Solid construction and the light output is much sharper and more defined compared to the LED alternatives on the market. No flickering issues either.

I do get the impression that they are put together in a garage, albeit a production garage. I've never seen anything cosmetically wrong or with the way they throw light.

I would honestly want to know if there are some glaring deficiencies in the quality or construction before I hand over that much money.

JK_Zach - what combination did you purchase? Did you go with 35w or 55w?

Another option that just came out, TRS's Sealed7. Fit is tight, you have to move some wires and the horn. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/com...hts-48495.html and http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...l=1#post690286

Default HID Projectors from HIDProjectors.com

I had sealing issues, it was sealed with what seemed like tar, wrapped with aluminum tape. When the wires coming from the housing moved around the sealant became thin, and eventually showed gaps where I had water, and dirt coming in. When I contacted hid projectors I was told that the warrantee period is 60 days, and that he would clean them for a price, something like $100. I was also told that there is no guarantee that it would work right because he had to take the lens off. I like the lights themselves I just wish he used a high quality silicone instead of whatever it was that he used. Attached are pics of my lights.


Thanks
Brady
KCCO!

I have sealant from when I did my halos in my camaro so I might use it if all else fails. Appreciate the insight on where to find the leak at though !

Mine have been great so far. And Tom is excellent about answering questions via email in a very timely manner.

They look pretty sweet... But the disclaimer "This kit is not DOT approved. For off-road use only." is a deal breaker for me. Not worth the potential hassle.
