    To Projector or not to projector

    I have a buddy that is giving me a set of HIDS that he has. (He is not an altruist, he owes me...). I have heard that using a projector lens will make the HID work a bit better.

    I do understand the problem with "riceifying" (good word, eh?) the car with some projectors, but I generally tend to not really give a rat's ass if something looks "uncool" if it works better. I just want to know if anyone has any experience with the HIDS and what lenses they used in their experience.

    Thanks!

      The ebay projectors are weak...



      If you want real good output, do a retrofit. Get projector lenses from like a tsx or s2000(among many others) and fit them into your headlights.

      Here's aww_shiet's s2000 projector retrofit(based on the ebay projectors above). I would've posted more pics, but most of his got deleted...



      And here's fliplyricist1's TSX projector retro in some JDM one piece headlights.

        I was messin with this earlier today, these HALOGEN projectors are from '97-98 240sx headlights. The cutoff is better than I expected, and once my adapters are fine tuned, the light should be more evenly spread accross the beam pattern.

          Id Hid, Ebay projectors are not that bad, they shine better than stock and look better than hid bulbs in the stock housing. But yah retrofit is alot cleaner and looks better and has a better cutoff. If you can afford the projector elements from another car and a set of one peice headlights I would say go that way, if not and your on a budget, Ebay projectors and Hids work great and dont look to shabby if I say so myself. My sig has my black housed projectors w/ hid VVVVV
          I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.

            Retrofit is my favorite, hopefully I will do it some day in the near future.
