Headlights HELIX or EAGLE EYES
Reviews
I had a 2014 ST1 and I got a pair of those Eagle Eye headlights from ebay for $300. Ran them for over 100K miles before I sold it. The LED's never burned out and the only water ingress issue I had was because I baked and separated the housing to black out the reflectors and screwed up the plastic so it didn't seal right again after that. I will say they got foggy after like 4-5 years but I just sanded and re-cleared them and they were good as new again
Pros: LED's never burned out
Cons: got foggy after years
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Mileage: 160934 km
For what its worth, I had the Helix headlights on my 2017 GSW and yes, I had to set those up with HID ballasts and HID bulbs. I was able to tuck the ballast inside the back of the headlight and put the bulb access door/cover back on for a pretty clean install.
Pros: clean install
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
If I remember, the Eagle Eye headlights were a solid oem replacement.
Pros: solid oem replacement
Finally got my hands on some Helix headlights after months of waiting. I couldn't be happier with the results!
Pros: happy with results
They are pretty good for the price, especially on a normal-ish car like a Camry.
Pros: good for price
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
That said, I have used eBay headlight before, specifically the brand Eagle Eyes (for my daily Camry, not Taco). Things to be concerned about is mainly the lens to housing seal. A lot of cheaper lights will allow condensation to get inside the lenses. Quick fix though.
Pros: quick fix available
Cons: condensation inside lenses
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Don't buy Eagle Eyes. I have used them for other vehicles, but on my GMT800 they broke on the mounting pin holes within a year.
I replaced with Akkon brand in 2019 and they are still trucking, seem to be good quality.
Pros: good quality, still trucking
Cons: broke on mounting pin holes
Just installed them, will have to see how they work out.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I bought some “eagle eyes” brand lights on eBay that look SO CLOSE to OEM, $250 for the pair. They’re crap. And turning the screws won’t even adjust them. They’re literal crap. They point at the ground and I can’t even see more than twenty feet in front of me at night.
Cons: crap, won't adjust
i bought an is300 with aftermarket headlights and moisture seeped in within a week of me having them, not sure how long they were installed. Bought new ones, sealed them with silicone which I found out doesn’t work well, then used a black rubber type sealant and it’s been fine ever since.
Pros: black rubber sealant works
Cons: moisture seeped in
Vehicle:
Lexus
