They look ok during the night, but during the day I think they look plastic and shitty. I suppose you get what you pay for though, are they from ebay or elsewhere?

I think they're nice. Headlights are ok, its taillights that shouldn't be aftermarket for the most part.

Are the low beams real HID's or just wanna be HIDs?
How's the low beam pattern? Very often with aftermarket lights they do not put any effort into making a quality product. Usually resulting in lights that glare oncoming drivers and are useless to help see where you are going.
Those high beam lights in the picture look about half the size of the factory units. I'd be willing to bet the high beams are not nearly as good as the factory ones.

Yep they look good, but when you see Honda's crusing around with half assed ones that don't fit and have to be zip tied on, they don't look so good. I'd say go for it.
To much crome in them, projectors look small for a truck and the high beams seem small as well. They seem to cheap to be anything real good. I bet they are made out of that brittle black plastic crap the breaks when you tighten the screws and the cheap spray on crome that starts to peel and fall off after a couple years.

I dont like the all chrome look either..... but there are several different models..... as was mentioned earlier they look sweet at night but look rice in the sunshine. Why cant the chinamen create something clean and functional?

$1,100!!! Yikes for something of questionable quality. Why not just put HIDs in the stock headlamp assemblys for less than $300?

The projector housings on ebay are $200..... used they sell for $150. The projectors use H1 and H3 bulbs. The halogen low beams suck but the halogen high beams are pretty good. People are replacing the low beams with HIDs. The HID kit cost $200. You then get very good low beams and pretty good high beams (both are on at the same time). Total cost up front is $350 but You could turn around and sell them for $300 so its really only a $50 mod to have halo HIDs.
I simply wanted everyones opinion on if they thought they looked good or looked cheap.

Or you could be like people who put HIDs in WITHOUT projectors and blind everyone within 2 miles and still not be able to see shit.... Someone from Precision comes to mind.

It's not the projectors that keep the HID's from blinding people. It's the quality of the bulbs. Yes the Precision guys car is very annoying.
In any light the placement of the filament in relation to the reflector is critical. Cheap bulbs are slightly different thusly causing the light to glare and not shine effectively. Plus with HID's headlight aim is very important.

Not really, The housing makes a huge difference. You can retro fit OEM HID bulbs into stock housings and still blind the crap out of people. That is the main reason I didn't just get a $200 ebay HID kit and drop it in the stock housing.
