Tru that. If you want a clean TL, stay away from halos.
There are plenty of write-ups for retrofitting projectors and halos into the headlights if you still want to.
However, they do sell blacked out headlights on ebay

projectors only gets a thumbs up from me. Halos get a big thumbs down. Its a TL for crying out loud. If you wanna have crap like that on your car go buy an accor or civic. This however does not include Vollys old setup. i think he had halos AND projectors but it looked amazing

The beam pattern, fitment is shit. The only way is to do a OEM projector conversion.

Yea If they came with projectors and was great quality then maybe.

Even then I'd rather do a custom retro.

a decent retro with s2k or tsx projectors is all you would really want.
i cant picture halos looking that good and personally i always thought they looked tacky and cheap on anything other than bmws.

I'm having s2000 projectors fit into my 00 tl headlights i believe. And I am going with halo's after looking at what I've seen and I'm a fan. It's only going on the highbeams and its all getting done professionally. So I'm thinking it'll come out clean. Cannot wait.

if you check out customlightz website you can see they have done an awesome job on tl headlight conversions but no pics of 99-2000 tl headlight conversion. every pic they have is for an 03 which i think is easier to work with.

conversion on 99-00 tl's would definately look different.

Yea Rich from customlightz has quoted me about 470ish if I supply him with the projectors and headlights. So it looks like I need to get a jump on making some extra cash
