/sigh so helpful there DJ but hes right, there is no difference between the 200 and the 130 ones
the halos are really only good if your gonna do an HID retrofit (check out AZDave, he did a nice writeup)
the halos on ebay ALL take the H3 bulb, which is a fog light bulb for most cars. 1. Light output sucks 2. Projectors suck (no there not even good to get a H3 HID bulb and try) horible cutoff, and horible colorshift 3. the LED halos burn out very fast and then you have to replace them with your own LED setup
the stock ones will have the best light output and if you have a 2GA then you should look for the writeup on how to color the inside housing to make it look more like the 2GB's

But they look cool!

READ.
The halos do burn out pretty quick. A friend has them on his dc2. (he loves buying ebay shit). His left halos are now burnt out and he's like "no big deal, i only paid $200 for them". If you like to build things, go ahead and get them. They use cheap led's like foggy stated but imo, they look brighter than stock. You can get an h4 to fit with modification. There are a couple of 2gb locals running h4's in theirs...

The H1 and H3 style bulbs they use are actually normal headlight bulbs in a lot of european vehicles. unfortunately the crappy ass projectors destroy the light output and beam pattern. if you want some sweet lights do the retrofit like Azdave

hmm alright thanks for the advice. The thing is when i got my car the guy put some old projectors on it and they are really crappy so i would need to buy the stock light housing then convert to hid.. oh sounds so fun
Oh ya anyone have some forsale or could make me some? i think if i tried to retro fit them i would horribly mess up -.-

no you take the projectors you have, seperate the lens from the housing, then take the low beam projector and rip it out, place in replacement HID projector, level it, secure it in place, then paint housing, replace lens, mount and enjoy.
