    'halo projector'...? if you mean xenon lamps, then yes, they will likely be much brighter than standard headlights... if you don't mean xenon, then what do you mean?

    I think the general idea is they are a lot brighter than regular headlights with a specific cutoff point so that you don't blind everyone. It's all about limiting the beam of light by focusing it through a lens... thus the name "projector". A good setup though is going to cost around 300 bucks or more if you don't have anything other than regular halogen or xenon's in your car right now.

    I need to get better headlights. The ones on my Ram are horrible.

    I want some of those cool blue ones you see on some Benz's.

    got 6-800 bucks? go for it, then... i looked into it for my car, decided that a mix of ultra-white and light blue-tint bulbs was the way to go...

    i think those are like the ones i have (here and here)

    they imitate the HID look but without true HID performance (or price)

    you could look at what i believe are termed 'e-code' lamps (though i know not what that means)... here is what i'm talking about for my car...

    these aren't halo lights, but are intended to provide a better beam pattern than stock, i believe...
