Default thoughts on these headlights?

what do you guys think of these? I'm not very knowledgeable on lighting stuff so I don't know if this is a good set or not

UPDATE:

I got a set of Rampage headlights from Summit Racing. I also got a Putco wiring harness to enhance the package. I have no complaints.

Might want to check your local laws with this one. I don't think you're supposed to have any red or blue lights on your car. Only red you're allowed to have is brake and turn signals.

Some states also have laws where its illegal to add hids to anything that didn't have them factory.If it was me a good h4 kit with the relays is more then enough if not add some off road lights they are still kinda legal.

^^^ true, I'm running the H4 setup and love it. Way more light than stock! But I've also got 80w on low beam lol

thanks for the tips on local laws haha

i checked it out and in CA, no HID is legal. I guess a lot of people get away with certain outputs but i'm not gonna risk it. anyway, that saved me 70 bucks! I'm goin with the non HID version for $50

the red LED "eye" gets hooked up to the parking lights and is also the blinker. so thats pretty sick

you can probably find the same thing with orange instead of red. Here in CA you'll def get pulled over for red in the front. Luckily I haven't gotten pulled over for my angry eyes....yet...lol

If the h4s ain't enough a set of fog lights can help a lot too.
