I posted a thread on product reviewes but the traffic there seems kinda slow, I was wondering if any of you guys had any experiences with full halo headlights. My truck is a 94 so i need sealed beam ones, I know oracle lighting has some and I think it was top gear automotive or something like that but I can’t find any reviews on them only the oracle lighting ones, just wanted to know if anyone out there has any good or bad reviews with them. I was looking to get the white ones but at full brightness, it looks like it reflects back into the headlights so you cannot really see the ring that well, and the dimmer witch remote is like 70 or so bucks, so I’d be spending about 200 just to have halos, I think it would be a very unique look as I’ve only seen a few Yotas with them. Any advice is appreciated!
I've been running these lights for the last 4 years or so, absolutely LOVE THEM!
My only issue is in heavy rain, where the light is very "white" and is fairly difficult to see the road lines, bit in those situations its already difficult. Get to see all the signs tho!

I am using the bulbs that came with the kit, I believe they are blue tipped, will confirm when I get home tonight. I did however use the same lights on a yj and put piaa h4 bulbs in, way brighter, but I'm content with my current setup!

Maybe not what you want, but I've been running SYLVANIA H6054 SilverStar High Performance Halogen Sealed Beam Headlight. amd have been very happy with them. $22ea from Amazon.
I stay with Halogen seal beams. One on my truck had a pinhole in lens for 7 years, it finally burnt out a couple weeks ago. I buy seal beams in second hand stores cheap $5.00 as they are near obsolete today. Both my trucks sport Halogen seal beams
I don't think sealed-beam headlamps are anywhere near obsolete. Amazon has zillions of options out there to buy. Like you, though, i'm pretty happy with the halogen sealed-beam solution, but acknowledge some like the look of the LED options out there.
I use the basic H6054 headlights too, and matter of fact just replaced both of them on a 92 pickup.
I installed Sylvania H6054 basic halogen. For what ever reason Sylvania and Wagner, that I know about, are making the three prongs too long for the electrical connector. Like over an inch too long. One of the old bulbs was Sylvania, and it had the proper length prongs. Pretty dang sure I should not have to cut the headlight prongs to fit the electrical connector snug.
No idea what is going on with the length of the headlight prongs on the latest made bulbs. All I can say is the new Sylvania bulbs were made in China.
I'm running a new set of Halogen sealed beams also. They seem bright enough to me. Plus somebody hit me with their High beams yesterday so I'm not the only one who thinks that these are bright 😂
I don't get flashed by other drivers, I have them adjusted a bit lower than DOT requirements. I do however turn them off when I'm in line to get food or coffee, as they light up people's cars when I get in close!
I just went through two headlight upgrade debacles for both my rigs.
For my '93 pickup, I went with the Hella H4 E-Code headlamps. Avoid the DOT ones, as they are actually worse for blinding other drivers. The European spec ones are just way better in most ways.
That kit comes with the dust covers, headlight housings, and bulbs. The Rampage ones look good as well, but I avoided them due to more reports of them cracking than the Hella ones. Same price, just about.
Here's some things to consider:
1. The Hella H4 E-Code (not DOT vision plus version) are so vastly better than the best sealed beam lights, it's not even funny. Much better beam pattern, and the low beams are higher wattage. Sealed beam lows are around 35 watts, while H4 bulbs are over 50 watts.
2. Even with the higher light output, the E-Code Hella H4 lights have a much sharper light cutoff line than DOT lights, both sealed beam and H4. By not putting much light above the cutoff line, there is more light hitting the actual road, and less light in other driver's eyes.
3. The Hella H4's bulbs are easier to change from behind than taking out the whole sealed beam units.
4. Standard H4 bulbs are cheaper than decent sealed beams and seem to last longer in my experience.
5. It's smart to upgrade to a headlight relay, although that is not 100% critical because the stock wiring can handle a tiny bit over 60 watts since some sealed beam light use that much on high beams.
6. If the wiring is upgraded to a 12ga wiring relay, the Hella 100watt bulbs can be used. But they produce more of extra heat than light and are just marginally brighter, but much hotter. Good setup for driving through a blizzard and keeping the snow from sticking to the lens.
