34676, screw projectors :(
Posted by koalakb, Nov-19-02 12:53 PM
ok,

i basically want to get rid of my new projector headlights because it seems i will never win the battle of getting bright headlights with these...i guess even with the HID conversion on the H3 bulbs, it still wont be as bright as if i had regular lights using 9006

besides projectors, what other types of headlamps are there?

all i know is the 97-99 stock headlamps, 97-99 projector headlamps using H3 bulbs..

are there projector headlamps that use 9006 bulbs?

The Gen II projectors are suppose to be brighter than stock lights. There is somethign screwy with the wiring or something, I forget exactly what the deal it. I think they look pretty cool too.

yah im gonna sell them but i dont have $$ to buy new lights until dec or right after christmas when i get paid...hopefully xmas presents wont kill me but if they do...i cant afford 97-99 lights plus the HID conversion until after then

if you want them, make me an offer, ill sell them for half of what i paid ...they were literally installed on the car about 3 days ago...give or take a few days and the car has been in the shop since then...

so by the time i sell them, figure about 1 months usage..

man this really bums me out though....i really wanted bright lights too ....

these are the exact ones i just got:

does anyone know links to the Gen 2 projectors? i cant seem to find them through google or ebay...

or should i just go with stock 97-99 lights? or are there projectors that exist that use 9006?

I have Projector lights on my Spyder with PIAA SUPER PLASMA H3 Bulbs and they are Very Bright. I also have Clear Euro Corner Lights with PIAA Plasma Blue bulbs.

What Brand of Bulbs are you using? (You get what you paid for). I paid $45 for a Pair of H3 Piaa Super Plasma Bulbs.

well i agree with you there, i paid 5 bucks for each light lol

someone recommended getting the PIAA or the catz...

i might just go with the H3 HID conversion if its brighter than stock
