Default Projector Headlights and daytime running lights

Hey all,

I'm sure this was already asked before but the ones I find are old.

Can someone advise on where I could find good quality yet affordable projector headlights for my 11 Elantra? I'm also interested in getting the Audi style fog lights. I believe they are called daytime running lights.

Thank you,

On CARID I saw CG Projector headlights with angel eyes and what I think are LED daytime running lights. It come in black and chrome. I don't own these, but check them out, it might be what you are looking for.

These actually look tempting - although I wonder how everything connects. Has anyone purchased and installed these yet?

The ones I saw on eBay are even better price wise. But then again, that's eBay.

Sorry for sounding ignorant here but I thought they were the same!

Halogen Project lights are not the same as the HID Projector lights. Both use projectors (and I think Halogen projectors are what you see most in stock US cars), but the HID are much brighter. HID lights should be used only with a projector because they're so bright.

HID lights would be added using a kit and taking apart the headlight and putting it back together again (for the projector). There's a lot of wiring consideration for HID lights as well.

The eBay Halo ones above say plug-n-play, but I've heard it's not quite so straightforward. No experience with those.

Projectors and halos? No. The "halo" portion is the lightning around the actual projector. Most cars don't come with halos if they have projectors. BMW was famous for that, but aftermarket projectors with the halo accents just look tacky!
