Default Final Decision on Headlights, let me hear your opinion

So looking at k2 motors I have chosen to buy one of these two. I was going to buy some similar ebay ones that came with a third tail light for $150 but I read someone complaining about the poor light quality and decided I did not want to go the ebay route again. I also read on some other forums about people using Sport Headlights so you would have four headlights, is this a better idea? I just want the most light for my buck and I plan on buying 55w hid's for one of these projectors. I like the clean look of the single projector ones and the price of the double ones. Do the double ones have multiple lights? does the single? My thinking is the HID will go in the circle thing and the regular Halogen will go on the side to provide a high beam, am I wrong? T Well here are the two choices I ended up on



If you want direct links let me know

Thanks a lot for any opinions

I vote the cheaper one's. They look less like an eyeball staring at you then the single....

1.) You get what you pay for. Cheaper price = cheaper quality.

2.) I personally think the single is a much cleaner, sleeker look. Looks more professional IMO.

I dunno what the quality of those lights are, but you should check out a guy I found online. I haven`t bought my lights as of yet, but he uses quality parts, and seems to have things well figured out... Check him out anyways..

Are you sure they are the same thing? I agree with them looking like eyeballs but I'm ok with that lol. Only reason I ask if you are sure is because I bought some blacked out headlights from eBay and they were poor quality. They were $120 or something and clip on the back came off which let mud come in. I tried contacting them but they're ignoring me. The light output is just horrible and scattered with sylvania silver stars. I also like that k2 motors says you can use hid's whereas the eBay one I contacted the guy and he said do not use hid's. I want a clean look and functional hid's. I appreciate the pictures a lot. They will help me decide.

But I wouldn't mind saving some money if I don't lose quality

I have the singles too but in chrome and I got them from K2. Going on 3 years with them and no issues. I run a 6K 35w HID in the projector. I want black ones now, so I may bake em to paint them.

But if you want the best quaility projector I would contact Jeremy at the retroshop. You are going to spend alot more money but in the end have a better product with exceptional customer service to back it up. He has not done a 2nd gen yet, but if I had the extra cash I would have them done. Get the clear housings, paint black, and have the projector shroud match my truck.
Email is your best bet with him jeremy@retroshop.us,
