Larger pics? How about a street shot shining off into the distance?

^can do but my cam dosnt do good pics at night. ill do my best its raining here so maby sunday. yea the first pic is on blacktop so its hard to tell the output.

[Dethred]

Yeah just get a decent pic or two so we can see cutoff, lightoutput, etc. Show them off!

[CivilCivic]

dont get me wrong those projectors are nice. and have a good output... the only thing i am saying is the halos have to go IMO. turn them off or open the light and take them out. .it would look better without halos.




let me change what i said.. if i were you, just take out the lowbeam halo and leave the high beam one and you have a mighty nice headlight with a killer output to be ebay.

^ yea i see your point i just didnt want to dump 1k into lights.

[SpeedDemon]

ive seen them on my friends car, and they looked alright.

but he said something about they werent working out to well like he liked, so he took it off, but i would rather buy retros.

If they made them more professional would be nice, but idk.

IMO they looks better than the OEM lights, it would have been easy to not get these but i chose to change it

OMG... i smell a lemon

second that!
I believe they have separate wire for low beam halo and high beam halo. Just leave low beam halo unplug and that still gives the good look to the headlight.

I will post picture if I am lucky enough to get one off ebay or so.

They're way too small and there are no shots shining onto the street. No one with ebay headlights every wants to show off the light output and cutoff. You see retrofit threads with nothing but output and cutoff pics, but with the ebay projectors people just post pics of the headlights themselves. Sorta confirms how terrible they must be...

[06ggex]

geez keep your pants on lol. ive been working and its raining like crazy now. ive got hid bulbs and ballast for them. but ill take night pics before and after the hid install.

[The C Tripp]

i still got a headlight out. lol



and btw, GGex, I saw your pic with your DRL's on, if you wanna turn them off it's easy as hell to disable them

[06ggex]

without hid.

with hid.

[06ggex]

ok...in my op. pnp in a stock lamp is better than stock. a ebay projector is better than stock and a pnp (not by much). a hid in a ebay projector well...crap the color is cool but for every day not good. thanks if there are any questions please ask.

[Dethred]

The lighting distance doesn't look too good, but the cutoff and beam pattern look pretty decent. Have you tried aiming them up a bit to increase the range on the lights? What kelvin are those HID's? They look extremely blue, which is probably putting less then stock lumens onto the road.

[06ggex]

yea the k is 8000 way to blue i will agree the hid in ebay lights are def bad. my cam just picked up the intinse flare in front of the car. but i tried and told how it came out so i guess thats all that counts.
