Actually, those are both the exact same aftermarket headlights haha, Eagle Eyes is the manufacturer, Anzo is just a brand it's sold as.
Quality-wise, a couple people have them here and say they're pretty sweet. I used to have an eagle eyes set on my Dodge Charger I used to own, and they looked great, were built great, and lasted about 2 years until I sold it with no problems at all.

If you're thinking LEDs in the stock lights, get a good set that is meant for halogen housings, and you'd likely have to keep off the dust cap on the headlights so that they don't overheat (They typically have heatsinks that must be exposed.)
I don't see how that'd be a problem though, since behind the dustcaps is just empty plastic with wring that's weatherproof anyway. There's no exposed portion of the housings themselves.

Eagle Eye Projectors

http://www.amazon.com/SPPC-Black-Projector-Headlights-Chevrolet/dp/B00O83GNL0/ref=sr_1_8?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1422125535&sr=1-8&keywords=Halo+Projector+Headlights

Projector Headlights Picture

I have the SPPC Projector Headlamps which are indeed the Eagle Eye Projector Headlamps branded under the SPPC Name.

I have had them on since May this year (2015) and have had zero issues with them. ok, one minor and thats there is one halo ring that tends to take a little longer than the others to come on but once you start the car they all are on. delayed connection id say. as they have always all came on and stayed on once the car is started.

Overall i love them and are a great improvement over the stock headlamps in style, looks, and use. I Upgraded my headlight bulbs low beams to Sylvania ZxE Bulbs and are very bright. next up is to change the fog bulbs to the PIAA Xtreme White bulbs i bought. Then i will have a nice bright setup to see in the dark.

The only issues ive heard of and have seen from others ive talked to that have the same headlamps as i do are the inverter boxes that power the halo's can give out prematurely. it depends on the one you get when you order your set. mine has been good to me. where as the one this other guy got he said his has crapped out on him at least 5 times already in a short time period. But they sell quality inverters that can easily be wired in if the one that comes with it gives out.

The halos wire into the parking lights so that once your parking lights or headlights come on, the Halo's are on. they dont come on with just the DRL lights. during the day you have to turn the dial to the parking light setting to have them on during the day. Overall i love the headlamps.

Hope this information helps you out.

The unit i am using came with bulbs for the low and high beams with your purchase. but i wanted a brighter set of lights. so i bought The Sylvania ZxE Headlight Bulbs for the lows, using the supplied bulbs for the highs as i rarely use my highs and they seem to do the job if i do. and soon will have PIAA Xtreme White bulbs in the Fog Lights to compliment the ZxE Bulbs.

The Halo Projectors i have the bulb sizes change, The Stock low Beams are H11, with the projector unit i have the Low Beams are now H7 Size. The High Beams Stock are 9005, with the projector unit i have, they are now H1 Size.

Turn Signals/Parking Light Bulbs Remain the same of 7444NA Size. Also Supplied with the projector unit purchase.

As for if HID Kits are used with these, will a harness be needed, That depends on the bulbs you use and so forth. Most HID Kits have the harness and such when you buy the kits.

I had very good service with SPPC thru Amazon. Fast shipment, answered all questions i had, and when i had a bulb missing, they shipped it to me at no cost and fast. Follow the link i provided and you will have a very nice set of projector headlamps.

These projectors are built for a specific halogen bulb, therefore adding an HID pnp kit will create glare that is a nuisance for oncoming drivers (big time glare)

it's not the size, it's how you drive it....

If you want HIDs I'd recommend adding true HID projectors to your stock housing (or buy a set of new lights to modify and keep your stock as back up)

Everything you need to know about how to do it can be found on this site (parts, instructional videos, etc)
https://www.theretrofitsource.com/

For about $500 (or cheaper if you use closeout parts) you can build your own with WAY better light intensity, reliability, and no glare. Or have Beastlick mod them if you scurred lol

CarsNSkis is right on point. If you just want to purchase these Halogen projectors, they will work just fine as is. I wouldn't try and install PNP HID kits into these, they aren't designed for them.

These are great for an upgrade from stock but wont have the same performance as a true HID projector. If you do want to have a custom set built, I can give you a hand with that if need be.

@Beastlick

Would LED bulbs instead of HIDs be acceptable in these projectors? I'm thinking of doing that in my set.

@Chrish051873

These are the actual ones I purchased and installed in my vehicle. They're $350 from Amazon, but SO worth every penny and they fit just like the factory ones. Plus the wiring and everything is also the same. The only thing different is the high and low beam sizes, but thats not hard at all. Here are some photos of mine :)

I know the LED bulbs have been designed for regular halogen lights. Your new headlights are halogen projectors not HID. Not 100% sure but it seems they would be fine as its just a different kind of light and would still be controlled well with the projector.

Between Chris' and Andrew's headlights, you guys are starting to make my own set look like chump change.
