How resistant are the headlights to prying fingers? I'm very interested in purchasing this but am afraid the headlights may be a choking hazard.

We haven't had a problem with it at all. They seem pretty tight and flush with the rest of the car body so it would be very difficult to wedge anything in there to get the leverage to pop the headlights out.

I don't think there is any way for a child to pop the headlights off - they are very securely embedded within the green plastic casing. My son puts everything in his mouth, and I never hesitated to let him play with this. The only way the headlights would come out is if the green plastic were to crack - which would be nearly impossible during normal play. This is a very sturdy toy.

The headlights are flush with the car body. Our grandson has been playing with this car pretty much since he could sit up by himself. It is so perfect for little hands to grip and push around once they start to crawl. 'Car' has also been one of his first words.

My toddler grandson has had two items made by this company (the car pictured and a red dump truck) and both have been dropped, thrown and bumped almost daily and no parts have cracked or loosened, including the headlights. The headlights are firmed embedded and it appears they are attached in such a way that it's highly unlikely that a little one could pry them out. This is an amazing little car and so easy for him to carry! Extremely well-made and quality material used in production. Hope this helps you. Patricia

The headlights appear to be affixed quite sufficiently to permit a very young child to play without the risk of swallowing them. The toy is beautifully made.

They are a tight fit and if you force them in when you try to remove they will break. I used a small reamer and made the hole a little bigger then they will fit and then I wired them to the side lights and they will come on when the headlights are on. A wiring kit is available.

Installed right and left headlights late summer (2014). So far, have not noticed any condesation inside lens. Only issue has been a bulb burning out (drivers side running light bulb).

You are correct. You shouldn't touch with your bare fingers. The bulb comes wrapped in plastic. Just keep plastic around it as you install it.

The light I bought is holding up good with very rough play. Mine is set to blink. I got the red one and it is well visible at night. I live 1/2 mile off a paved road and have no street lights. Very dark at night. Only problem is it is not facing you all the time

I was concerned about this too. I got a pair. One thing though, they are significantly better than stock, but the one shines a slightly different pattern than the other and the lenses are somewhat easily scratched( my grill came loose and rubbed on it for about a mile and the and plastic was enough to leave deep scars). So if you can, get the Hellas.

I bought some eBay led headlights that were rated at 150w. The results were not good. Put an HID kit in there instead and it was easily 3 times bbrighter , however the spread is horrible but I have yet to try to aim the headlights. I think that a stock halogen bulb with high output might give you the best balance. Best of luck. I don't regret the hids though, serious upgrade

I had the lights about 3 months before they burnt out, both at the same time. I went to a local mechanic and he said it was cheaper to just buy the entire assembly again instead of replacing the bulb (due to price). I just reinstalled the factory headlights because I don't have the money to replace the bulbs every 4-6 months (lifetime of the bulb)

Hello Roberto I installed the Eyes Halo Ring on a 99 323iThey are nice and bright but unfortunately after three months the LED's on the rings going of and the guarantee is good only for the first 3 months sorry. I won't buy any more from them thanks

Candy, all I can say is for me they're ok as I have no trunk light for my 'basic' and economical motor vehicle. They're not BRIGHT, just bright enough to see a little without hurting your eyes. It was cold when I 1st bought the light making the push on/off feature a little difficult (it got better with the warm weather, no real problem now). There's no rust etc so you can say it's ok depending on what/where it's used. Probably a lot better somewhere stationary and inside.All that being said; I can't really say, sorry and good luck. :-)

Your very welcome! Glad I could help. You can not beat the quality and price! I have HID's and they help spotting dear in early morning drive to work.

They will not be strong enough for regular headlight usage. In fact no led product out there is strong enough yet except JW Speaker lights. But they don't make fitted bulbs like conventional halogen. Don't waste your time trying to find LED headlights yet... Still a year or two away... Your best bet is to go to theretrofitsource.com and get HID for headlights or their halogen bulbs... They are the best and well priced. If you still want to try and run 9006 LED as headlights then you will want to run resistors even if you don't think you will need them because you run the risk of melting your wiring harness or something worse.. Resistors work to trick CANBus systems but also work to dissipate heat which you will need to do. Happy Hunting.. You should enjoy theretrofitsource.com

Good evening friend, got these sets of LEDs for my Corolla Altis 2013 version and was top ... I even swapped glove door, you are breaking, trunk and roof of the difference was striking to get better without the originality of the vehicle. Recommend!

yes no safety issues. not a good idea to shine in the eyes as it is very bright. I have bough 4 or 5 of these and apart from the battery is bit hard to get in due to the clasp it is a great buy...Batteries seem to last a long timetoo.

That is not literally unbreakable, if you leave them laying in the sun all the time, over time the plastic might get brittle, that is what happened to the one that came with my blue tooth. They are ver strong though and would not easilybreak with normal handling, plus it is good to have a spare in case one pops off and you can't find it right away...like it slides between the car seats and you can't reach it? Easier to grab the spare.

I run headlights with 100 watt h4 bulbs, electric fans, and fuel pumps with them they haven't failed yet... keep some spares just in case and make sure they do not exceed the amp ratings.
