I want to go with a halo projector headlight housing. What would y'all suggest buying? I would like to hear some feedback from people with this type of housing with a year or more of owning them. I am on my 2nd set of factory style housings and they are hazy and peeling, I've had them for ~1.5-2 years.
My concern is buying new housings and in a year or two and having to get new ones.
Thanks.

Search for Bi-xenon projector lens , on ebay or aliexpress, i have used them in both of my jeep and install them on several other vehicles, just be aware that they should be 3 inches as they sell 2.5" which are too small.
Also would reccomend to buy the halos with leds as the ones that come with the projectors are ccfl wich damage the transformers a lot.

Not that there is many other options now but the cheap plastic in aftermarket housings doesn't last long against UV rays. You could try a UV film to get a little more life out of them. I would also do my own retrofit so I would know I'm getting good projectors.

Thank you. And yeah I sprayed it with Raptor Liner. Just a heads up, The housings don’t come with bulbs, you gotta buy them separately, and I remember the ones I got were expensive, I wanna say close to $100 a pair, for highs and lows.

Somewhere around $500-$600 for the kit they sell with a spray gun, plus a few extra bottles, the kit doesn’t come with enough for an SUV. I already have an air compressor, sander, tape, plastic, all that.
