Headlights

I've been thinking about upgrading my headlights, I'd like to get halo lights, been doing a lot of research the past couple days... Still don't have a final decision on what to get... I have been looking at spyder headlights, anyone have any experience with these?

Spyder lights are ok. If you get the ones with the tinted lens that coating will come off on time. You'll find that moisture will also get into their connectors and cause the halo not to light at times. Had them in my 2012 f150 loved the look but the lights were not quality. The projectors are also garbage and if you decide to run hid lights eventually the plastic lens will warp. I know from doing it with only 35 watt hids. If you stay with the stock bulbs you won't be impressed with light output at all hence my switch to the hids. Save your cash and drop big money on quality light sets. I also had their led tail lights and had zero issues with those and they were very bright.

Yeah I guess that makes sense. I knew the price was too good to be true. The spyder set up is less than half the price of recon.

Save the cash and buy the recon lights. Wish I had done that with the last truck.
