It's not too good to be true, the quality of those just aren't great.

Frankly, neither. Basically all the aftermarket headlights aren't made anywhere near OEM specs - they WILL begin to lose their seal and retain moisture (factory lights will too, just not as quickly).

The halo projectors will be better than the black housings because the black housing will essentially kill your light output. Factory lights, the entire back of them is reflective.



With the projectors, you don't rely on the giant mirror like thing in the back of the light, so the blacked out aspect on them won't hurt your light output like it would on a standard bulb.

I had black housing on my car, loved the look, hated the light output. Now I'm back to my almost 13 year old stockers.
