2013 raxiom headlights

Install was kind of a pain. It's really hard getting the hid bulb into the housing because it has a plug that you have to route to the ballast and there isn't much room to do that. Everything was a piece of cake until that. It took me 2 hours from start to finish, an hour was spent on switching the bulbs.

They look good, but I don't know why anyone would want anything other than the factory lights. The 13 LEDs are better than halos IMO.

Yeah I like the stock lights too. But I really wanted halos. It was sort of an impulse buy. The stock lights are really good.

Just as bright as my stock hid lights. I do want to get fogs now though. I miss the stock fogs, but I cut those out when I installed my grill. The light output on those were amazing.

Agree also you should have not sold them, what if something goes wrong with your new ones like getting moisture in them and so forth. Now if you need new OEM lights it will cost you. Generally I never sell old car parts, I just store them away because you never know what comes up and you will be looking for them. Please don't take this as bashing just saying.

I sealed them with silicone even though its not required. If condensation forms AM would take care of it. Plus the lights have a 2 year warranty. I have no intentions of buying the oem lights again. If anything goes wrong after 2 years, I'll just buy the raxioms again.

Yup. They're sold. I got 7 offers within two hours of posting my raxiom lights. Didn't even intend to sell them really.

LEDs are built in to the inner housing. they look exactly the same on the back side as prior HID healdights except that the connectors are different because there are more wires.

Can't say I care for these too much. I would have preferred that it retained the stock LEDs along with the halo

The hid's are replaceable. The led daytime running lights are not accessible. You would have to melt the cover to replace them I think.
