Just wanted to hear some input on these headlamps. Is it worth the 300 bucks and do they make that big of a diff.

Thanx

Well I'll be the first to admit they look cool, but aiming them is a bitch, I can't seem to get them aimed exactly right. I get the low beams aimed the way I want them, then the highbeams are pointed at the sky, opposite is true if I have the highs pointed right. The quality on them kinda sucks, take a close look at mine sometime, and you'll see on the inside lenses, fingerprints of the people who put them together. Just an FYI, you've gotta buy new bulbs, and there's a splitt wiring harness you have to install, make sure if you do buy them it comes with the harness. Oh, you also have to cut the back out of the plastic piece behind the headlights.

depends on what kind of bulbs you put in, I'm currently running Piaa Ultra Whites, the lows if I remember correctly are 80 watts, the highs are 100 watts. So they're definitly brighter.
