If you can and know how to do a retrofit, then why dont you do them on your stock headlights? you will be saving the price you would have had paid for these projectors!

and from what i read the light output isnt that great, i believe someone posted about this few days ago in off topic section.

oh whaaaa, those ones come with corner lights?

I bought a pair of those projectors from racing guys as well, but the auction item i bought didn't come with any corner lights >_<

light output with halogen bulbs isn't great, but then again, it's mainly set up for HIDs. I will be putting some HIDs in mine next weekend and seeing how it turns out.

If you retrofit, good luck!

If not and you go with these ones, I ran silicone through the seals to make sure I wouldn't have any water leaks, just in case. another member on here has these, and some other members have the 1-pc projectors. some experienced water leakage, so yeah. check the seals, and I would recommend putting some more silicone in between the seal.

HIDizzles!

Yo imma let you know st8 up, people talk a lot of shit about ebay projectors (then again its more towards the one piece bullshit ones). I have a set of these on my CB and the output is great. Of course I have 4300k HID's up in it but like I said its bright. Has a decent cutoff too. IMO its worth the price, I paid the same. Here go a pic of them on my shit...

I want to see how black housing would look on these.

Thanks. It looks funny, the projector part.
Was thinking about getting some for a nice cutoff for my HIDs, but after seeing them black, IDK.

Agreed, a lot bash on them, but i don't think many of them have tried the projectors with HIDs.

Those that posted pictures, I'm jealous, can't wait to put my HIDs in.

@daovangphotos: They still look great left alone with the chrome, and they're almost identical to OEM headlights, except how you lock in the bulbs. IMO, they're worth it for an easier alternative of getting projectors than retrofitting.

PS: go over the seal with more silicone though, just to make sure it's watertight.

Different, but black housed projectors nonetheless.

Cheap projectors intended for halogen bulbs won't give nearly as much useful output or clean cutoff as projectors made for HIDs.

The best thing to do is install some projectors from a TSX or S2000 (or others, but I've seen those personally and they look amazing). You can use a cheap housing to keep costs down.

close enough??

good looks all. ima have to take your word on that P5ylance. i wana keep my stock headlights jus in case. i do alot of night driving so i need good lighting. mite do the HIDs with these projectors and black em out later. dont know if its gonna look good on a my green coupe but ill see.

I did them in my stock headlights. Cost me 80 for TSX headlights in great shape w/ projectors. I turned around and sold the housings on CL for 65. HID kit w/ D2S-9006 relay was 130. Rest was materials to mount the projector and shrouds, about 20 bucks. So for the cost of those Ebay projectors you could do the entire retro. I know HID kits are cheaper now, I did mine back in April 2008. But if you want some ideas on how to do it to your OEM headlights, take a look at my MR thread. I took plenty of pics when I did my retro for guidance.

The main problems I ran into when doing my retro was the HL fogging up in the rain. Took care of that w/ plenty of silicone sealant around the HL in the back. But almost 2 yrs later and I still get pleny of compliments on my retro. To me I think it looks better than those Ebay 1 piecers...they just look too common, everyone has them.

So if you're up for it, then do it yourself. It's a fun project. Took me about 2 days, but I kinda was rushing it... It still turned out good though, I just like finishing projects when I start them, don't like leaving things unfinished. Not to mention it was my only set of HL's so I had to do it kinda quick, in order to get back on the road. But get a spare set of HLs if you can, so you won't feel so rushed, that way you can test things out and take your time.

But I also posted light output pics in my MR thread, TSX projectors are badass, esp. for night driving. Oh and my HID kit has a 6000K color temp. I wouldn't go more than 8000k, but I think 6k is just right.
