Thoughts on Halo headlights?

Please check out the following link:

http://www.carid.com/2011-mini-coope...ts-492888.html

I'm thinking of buying Halo Halogen lights for my 2012 Pepper white Cooper. Anyone have experience with replacing their stock headlights? The problem with this I feel is that they may not be that powerful unlike the base headlights which provide plenty of light.

These headlights have been around for a few months. They make them in black and in chrome. If u do a search on here they will come up. Also checkout the exterior and electrical subsection, it should be on the first page. I would imagine the benefit from halogen to these is that u will have an actual projector to aim the light more precisely than your stock lights. Remember u can add an HID kit that has the resistor box to register Ito ur cars computer like standard halogen light. So u get a brighter whiter light and no error on ur dash. There is only one manufacturer but multiple vendors. On ebay the same lights I believe were going for 260ish. With HIDs I think it was a little over 300. They are put of stock on chrome housing ones which will be in stock in a few weeks. These black ones are nice though if u like that look.

I have a set of custom-made HIDs with Halos from Performance Auto Solutions.
