I bought projectors off of ebay about a month ago. I got the single projector with the Halos. I love them, they look awesome. Check out my pics page, a link should be included below, for pics. Definately go with the halo, they are awesome. I am going to do the foglight mod so I can turn on my foglights with my parking lights and halos. I paid about $240 for mine after shipping, and I got them from Dazzmotors on ebay. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.

I hope you have 20/20 vision because they suck at actually doing the job of lighting the road at night...

I haven't had any problems with the lighting. I think that they light up the road just as good as my stock headlights. The only problem I have had is aligning the drivers side bright. It points up a little too much and I can't figure out how to point it back down. I am also just using the bulbs that came with the projectors, which I believe are 55W H3's or H4's.

I would HIGHLY suggest putting the headlights on before installing the bumper. I had to remove my front bumper in order to get to all fo the bolts to remove the stock headlights. There is one bolt below the headlight that has to be accessed from the front of the car, and the bumper wouldn't allow me to get to it. When I installed my projectors I didn't put that bolt back it so it would be easier to take them out if I ever had to. So far I haven't had any problems from not putting that bolt back in. If you have any questions feel free to get ahold of me.

DON'T BOLT THE LOWER BOLTS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This way when you take them off again it'll take you 5 minutes because you don't have to remove the front bumper. A shit-load easier.

I agree totally. They are a major PITA! When I took out my stockers, I took out all the top ones. Then I just yanked the yell out of them and broke off the bottom. It helped relieve frustration!

alrite that sounds good hopefully i wont have to take them out tho anytime soon. i know projectors arent that bright so im looking into some cyberwhites or something when i find out what size bulbs are in the ones im getting and am going to replace them before i put the projectors in. still waiting tho for my front bumper to be shipped and painted before i even order them.

i got a question about those projectors. can you use the 9006 bulb with the halo projectors or do you have to use the h3 bulbs? was just wondering, cuz i just bought the sylvania silverstars. it would be nice if i could fit the silverstars into the projector housing.

61636, RE: projectors off of ebay Posted by distort, Nov-09-03 09:23 AM

I am pretty sure that mine will only take the H3's

I just put a set of 100W H3's in mine, they have a slight blue tint to them. They look sweet, but I am still nervous about melting the projectors and wiring. No problems so far though. I am not sure of the brand of the lights though. I am visiting family and my girlfriend for Thanksgiving until this weekend, but when I get back in Fort Wayne I can check for you. I bought them from a local store they were I think $15 or $20 a pair. I bought a second pair for my foglights, but I don't have them in yet. I got the halo projectors, and I want to do the foglight mod so my foglights can come on with my parking lights and halo's. I think that the projectors with the HID style bulbs almost look like true HID. Much better than a standard headlight with the HID look alike bulbs.
Drop me a PM to remind me to check on the brand of H3 bulbs I used.

all SINGLE projectors (halo/angel eyes and regular single projectors) use the H3/H4 bulbs. the DUAL projectors (projector lense on both low AND high beam) use stock 9005/9006 bulbs. dual projectors require you to remove your stock wiring and use it w/ the projector headlight housing.
