Hey guys. I wanted input on projector led headlights. What are some pros and cons about these type of aftermarket style vs the stock replacement? I guess I should be honest and fess up: Yes, I bought them first, then I did my research (don't tell the wife). I bought more for style than anything, and overlooked performance. Anyways, what can a guy expect in terms of amount of light projected? Yes, I am a bit nervous about my impulsive buy. Thanks in advance for input.

I've never been a fan of aftermarket projector lights, both because of looks (they always look "crowded"), as well as the issues Expigator listed. But that's just my opinion.

A set of clear headlights (like the Lightning or Harley) give a nice, clean look.

As far a lighting performance. I'd guess it's have to depend on which one you get. I know I've heard of some that come with a blue tint on the projector, which really limit the amount of usable light available.
