    Someone backed into my car and busted the passenget headlight, so I figured id just get some HALO LED aftermarket lights instead of just one OEM light. Do you think they look alright?

    Your pictures aren't coming up, but if they're like most of the LED halos I've seen... thumbs down.

    Picture doesnt work, was going to post that even though I can't seem it, I know they will look bad. then opened the "picture" in a new tab because I figured I should at least see if before positing... but I was right in the first place. Sorry, they just look too cheesy.

    OK, opening it in a new tab worked. Sorry, man, those are the worst ever. I'd half expect the LEDs to blink Christmas colors and mariachi music to play. But if you like them, ignore everyone else.

    Washed her up while I was in DE over the weekend... here are some more pics. The sun has a little glare, but I think you might be able to see how the headlights look with the car a bit better.

    I do agree that a stock setup looks bad with lights like these. It really does depend on how you're rolling in order to pull certain looks off.
