Projector Headlights w/ Stock Bulbs

I really like the way the projectors look but what i really want to do is black the whole car out, including black housing. I don't want to drop money on an HID kit but i want a headlight with black housing... is there any projector that would give off good/ok light output with stock bulbs? Thanks in advance!

no sorry, the three other cheepos have horrable light, not nearly as wide and not as sharp of a cutoff... but to really get answers you should post in the lighting section. thats where the light nuts are, but i have to warn you they will either say to ask me about mine or go retro. retros cost ~$1000 give or take 200 depending on what kind of shroud lense and base you want, and that doesnt include the HID's... the one with the three led near the grill sucks, the one with the two projectors sucksa and the one with one reflector one projector and one dummy position also sucks. and those are pretty much it...


Sorry.

If you don't want to pay the price associated with doing lighting RIGHT, then don't consider doing it until you do.
