Default Which one should I buy? Please help me out!

Hi all,

I'm trying to decide which headlight I'm going to buy. One is the Elantra 2013 headlight OEM (R+L) Projection HID + ballast and the other one is BLACK CCFL HALO PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS w/ LED PARKING LIGHTS. I have included the pictures and details both of them in the link below. Please help me out. I'm currently an owner of the Hyundai Elantra Limited 2013 Sedan. I really like the Halo Projector in term of driving at night time. It looks so cool but I wonder whether the low and high beams are bright enough for me to be able to see the object in front of my car while I'm on free way or street. Are H1 and H7 good enough? Anyway, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!



Here is the link: Elantra Hyundai 2011 2012 2013 Headlight R L Projection HID Ballast | eBay

i like the halo ones. can't help you on the brightness.
on the projections ones did you read this
"International Shipping - items may be subject to customs processing depending on the item's declared value.

Sellers set the item's declared value and must comply with customs declaration laws.


As the buyer, you should be aware of possible:
- delays from customs inspection.
- import duties and taxes which buyers must pay.
- brokerage fees payable at the point of delivery."


Your country's customs office can offer more details, or visit eBay's page on international trade.

Default Oem!

I think you're buying the OEM! It's an awesome look. There's nothing like stock with a twist, in my opinion.

Thank you for your comments. I also really like the OEM Projection headlight. I don't have broad car knowledge so do you think that $999 is worth for the OEM projection headlight? I also want to ask the seller whether or not he can put the LED Strip for me like Audi (Picture below). BTW, does it affect my Hyundai warranty if I install this item on my car even it's an OEM part. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind with the oem projector HID you'll need to run a relay, its not PnP. There's a writeup in the forum about the relay.

OEM is first version came out for Korean MD, last year bulbs is not include(D2S) big projector for high out put good setup with white reflector at corner.
Another one with CCFL angle eye and eyeline this is newer model but CCFL is old fasion not bright enough for day time perfect at night they come with regular bulbs(H7)
IMO OEM over price and I don't trust HID form them at night it doesn't like $999 headlight.
In another headlight w/CCFL setup put in good HID kit with 6000K from Morimoto color of light look better.
Look those headlight side by side then you which one you like.
