So if ebay projectors suck..

[richie92ex]

Im going to be doing a bi-xenon retro on my cb with fx 35 projectors, and an 55 watt hid setup while my cars being painted. I cant finish it while its in the shop, but alot of the dremel madness i fear is necessary, and gruntwork will be done on them soon- I'll post pics throughout the project. Only reason Im on holdup is because Im waiting on getting my projectors back from the retrofit source with my upgraded lens in them.

The projectors are just lenses. They have nothing to do with HID. You still need a separate HID setup as well (be sure to get an aftermarket harness, as the HIDs will fry your stock wiring)

The cheapie projectors do work with HIDs... not as well as good OEM ones, but as good or better than the stock headlights. You can pick up some decent projectors for $100 or less. aww_shiet's retrofit is one of the oldest ones on this board, so what he paid (and the work he did) was probably considerably more than most. You could do a decent retrofit and HID conversion for $500 or less.

i got my projectors from a car store, they look just like the ones they sell on ebay, anyways i got HIDs for them and they look amazing during the day and night

Yeah? Do you have any pics of your HID beam at night? I would like to see the cut off beam. Thanks.

That's exactly what the point of this entire thread is about.
