How do TEQ lights differ from LED Bulbs? 
Your drop in LED bulbs are not optimized for reflector headlights or stock halogen headlight projectors. They produce too much glare and scatter the light, making a large portion of it unsuable. In addition, they blind other drivers on the road. 

Each set of our headlights includes a proper projector that has been optimized for an LED light source. They include a cutoff sheild that prevents glare and light from being projected too high. 

Each set of headlights also maintins the factory adjustability, allowing you to get the most down road vision without blinding oncoming traffic. It is the safest and most effective way to have better output. 
What is the difference between Pre-Built and Custom headlights?
Pre-Built Headlights utilzie the same parts as our Custom lights but are stocked and offered in set configurations. Options on Pre Built lights are not able to be changed. 

Custom Retrofit lights carry short lead times and are built to your exact specifications. All of the options are completely customizable.  


Are Halos Switchback? 

Yes. All halos have switchback compatability. Standard halos are white and amber, with the amber able to be utilized as the turn signal. 

RGB Halos have a turn signal input on the controller.

Yes! All headlights maintain factory adjusters.
