Halo Pro Bugeye Headlight for Bug - any thoughts?
 
Seen these on ebay - any one had experience of them? :wonder: Link below to paste into browser bar. Ideally am looking for pro drive updrade - but they're hard to come across.

Any comments welcomed.

Cheers


James

Andy forrest runs them in his spec c and they look good

ScoobaSteve 25 February 2009 09:04 PM

Thats bloody expensive

sprigeteer 26 February 2009 09:14 PM

I agree. I've sourced them for around 150 new and delivered, which is a bit more sensible.

thanks for the site - great prices.

Site not in operation any longer. Decided to go for JDM Sti lights, with HID. Seemes the best combination of lighting power, style and durability.

I've got the JDM HIDs on mine, they look great, you'll need to take care when wiring up I've got some good guides if you need them. Also consider the Harnes from George at Chaogfang imports for both the lights and the levelling.

I've also swapped the indicators and sidelights around which I think loks much better - view my garage to see.

ScoobaSteve 04 March 2009 07:59 PM

Site working for me ?????

sprigeteer 04 March 2009 09:44 PM

Site works, but after ringing it's obsolete and then stock isn' there - it's going off line soon so I'm informed. Shame.

sprigeteer 04 March 2009 09:52 PM

These lights do look good - like your garage. Any diagrams or tips most welcomed. The car's going in for service this week, so the lights are going on then in the garage. I rarely touch electricals; makes me nervous. Wincanton Motorsports are doing it for me. I'm hoping that I have all that they require. I got the lights from: Jap Performance Parts : Breaking Cars

Great service and nice lights. Emailed on sunday, quick reply and the lights were here Tuesday by courier. Recommend.

MrNoisy 04 March 2009 09:58 PM

Mate, don't touch em they are awful and look well cheap.
Save up for some STI projectors or Morettes or UK300's.

Domster had a set of these and they leaked; condensation in the indicator lenses.
Not worth it IMHO

Heard these lights aren't just plug n play... They need some modification on the wiring to fit, get sti or moretted imo

Definitely agree - I had heard quite a few reports about the misting issues and decaying trim on these headlights. There's a pair on ebay, which displays these very symptoms. The JDM's look the part and will be fitted next Thursday. Can't wait.

Thanks for all the input.

Guys stay well away
i bought a set and they did look the balls until it started to rain and they all filled up with rain.These should be taken off the market cos they are that bad
the wiring is pretty simple but they are not plog and play.
save your money guys
i managed to buy a set of prodrive headlight for £250 on flee bay

BlueBugEye 07 March 2009 12:48 PM

If you still want the instructions/info on the wiring pm me with your email address I'll send the details over - I also have instructions on how to make sure the HIDS do not come on with flash to pass but I've never gotten around to doing it!

Nice one mate - did you manage to get a set of the Jap ones with HID's?
Good choice :thumb:

Yep. Good price and condition too. I'll be getting the car back this weekend after service and fitment. Hope for a big improvement over standard. Driving lights next I think.
