    I agree. The light output is horrible on these, plus they just look cheesy. If you take the time, and make your own, you WONT regret it. Even the ones on my car are pretty decent, they're not available anymore, though, apparently. Good luck!

      Your best best bet is a set of retrofits but obviously more on the pricey side. If you have the time, and doesnt even take that long, black out your oem housing and clean up the lense if need be. I did it to my 6th gen and it looks tight. Get some bright bulbs or whatever suits your needs and there you go.

          no light output!...

          they tend to get water in them..from my experience..and fog up..

          they use even more expensive bulbs than stock

            God Damn!! It doesn't look like anyone likes the ebay projectors. I have a set on my sisters car, the ones that come with the black bumper lenses. Mine came with bulbs also. And i belive they are common, H4 and H7 bulbs. Altough I too can agree with the light out put looking dimmer than the oem silverstars I'm used to seeing. I don't agree with the claims that the light output is $hit. It lights up the road well enough for us, so far. We got NO complaints about that. And also with the simple fact the silvain also makes silverstars for these size bulbs also. Which leave me to belive that the light outptu could be even better and also when I add in an upgraded HD harness to the battery. I KNOW the light out put will even better yet. And frankly I really like the look of these projector housings.
            I have 2 different set of retro HIDs (S2K with washer mod, and E55s with washer mod and shield modded) in my taurus's so I know what a good light output looks like and these ebay ones are not as bad as people are leading them to be. We have also not had any fogging in them and all the bulbs still work, we've only had them on for 1 year so far.
            But just like everyone else has been saying. it is your money do what YOU want, not what everone is telling you. You may regret it in the future and you may not. I just want to shed my bit of first hand expeirence with these. casue so far it's all been bad and someone has to say something good about these
            But good luck and please let us know what you decided on

                you did your wrong. from the looks of your sig, you painted the ENTIRE reflective part of them. you werent supposed to paint the entire part. just everything but the bowl in the headlight.

                i bet if you get another set of OEM headlights and blackhoused them right, it'll have better light output.

                the ebay projectors are complet shnit unless you get the HID kit for the projector. what i did was took the projectors out of a set i had and may end up using them for a retrofit. but i compared them to the light output of my OEM ones and the OME won but default.

                    From your picture, it looks as if you blacked out EVERYTHING... that's why there's no output. You need to keep the silver in the back to provide some reflection... otherwise, you just have a bulb behind a cap providing your light. Cheap projectors give horrible output. Get some OEM projectors from a TSX, Audi, BMW, etc... lots of choices... and do a retrofit. Put them in your stock headlight housings. Get yourself an HID kit, and you'll have good looks and fantastic light output.
