Halo headlight help please

2 drawbacks in my book...
1 - they aren't plug and play to get the angle eyes and straight leds to work
2 - notice the gasket on your picture...it isn't one continuous piece.

My wife's cousin has these on his BMW and I have to say that I don't like them. They look cool but don't really seem to do a good job lighting the way. My wife has driven his car a few times and complains every time about the lights.

Yep, the PO installed them and I removed them

I removed them because they look HORRIBLE...you see that split gasket at the bottom of the light? Thats what it will look like installed on your car.
They will make a good looking beetle look like a busted azz ride

I'll be selling mine for 50 bucks shipped here shortly...

If you're serious about selling them for $50.00 shipped, I would seriously consider buying them from you.

I get what you mean about the seals but I was able to fix that problem and they look amazing.... I ended up melting the piece together and it turned out great I guess this is when the sayiing to each their own comes into play LOL

Wink SPEC-D Tuning 2000 VW New Beetle Projector Headlights

I bought a 2000 VW New Beetle about a year ago, strictly for work. It's a 1.8 turbo, and a excellent/strong/quick ride. Little by little, i started experimenting with the exterior along with the interior, being inspired of course by all the 'Fast & the Furious' movies needless to say. I added lowering springs which dropped the car 1.6 inches, but yet- it never took away from the handling and the smoothness of the way the car rides. I added a wrap to it, which looks like a custom paint job, added a short shift, and bought me a set of these projector headlights as well. The lights work perfectly, are very bright, and gives the New Beetle a meaner and more slick look, rather than the bug eyed look with the original ones. So, i've uploaded some pix here of my baby, so that ya'll can see what they look like.
