Default Projector head light any good?

I was looking at some new head lights and came across a projector beam headlight.Its not the best looking thing cuz it got a big eye ball type lens,but will it work any better than the stock one with its odd looking lens?The whole thing cost $132.(E-bay)

I have them in my truck... they rock... you can get the ricer version for like 35 bucks. i just put a 7 in in my buddies bug, that would work just fine in a big bucket lamp, he said they also came in 5 1/4 or something like that... was super bright in his VW, and looked slick. he called me and stated the other set he has, he dropped one, so they will not take it back. I am going to pick up the spare lamp and toss it in the cafe to check out how it looks. but that will not be till next weekend.
long story short they are good!

Can't say about the projectors since I have never used one, but for 17 bucks you can install a sylvania silverstar and it will be a huge improvement over a stock bulb. This I do know.

I think they look like ricer trash, but I suppose they probably perform ok. Projectors are made for HID systems though, I don't know how much they help with a halogen bulb.
