To those who have projector head lamps, I know most of you guys have bought yours off of ebay...I need to know which ones fit good and actually project correctly onto the road. The past 2 seats I bought have either pointed down too far or up into the tree's and do not adjust corectly.

Just looking to see which ones you guys are sportin...!

Thanks

Mike, truly all those headlights suck. I've had a pair. The H3 doesn't put out as the 9005/9006 OEM ones.

I bought a set of retrofitted HID sets from my buddy and haven't looked back since. The output is amazing and it is madly blue.


But if you really want a set, look for a pair that utilizes 9005/9006 bulbs.

I had a pair of projectors on the eclipse and light output wasn't really good at all even with some Silverstar bulbs. IMO, the stock headlights produce the best light patterns behind HID-retrofitted ones. I modified some 9005 headlight bulbs to use with my 9006 low-beams on my stock headlights and the light output is pretty darn good.

agree with the above.
i tried a bunch of bulbs in my projectors and were all ho hum (short of H3 based ds2 HID bulbs)
so i saved my stockers for my retrofit project.

if you just want to pay and be done with it or need true custome ones check these guys out.

Lol, it's not a "trick". It's called a retrofit and if it's a PITA just to aim them right, you might not even want to try to tackle a HID project.

I had projectors almost six years ago. They sucked BALLS. Light output was very weak. Didn't matter if I had Wal-Mart brand, Silverstars, Raybrig or PIAA bulbs in them - the light sucked AND the bulbs seemed to live very short lives. You shouldn't burn through three sets of bulbs in a year's time.

I traded them with a guy in Florida for his stockers. Daisy's still got the stockers today, but the guy installed the projectors and was t-boned by some chick in a minivan, totalling his Eclipse. See? Even God hates them unless you do a retrofit.

Do the retrofit, Mike. You've got the skills. Think of it as a project you can do sitting at the bench with a cold one for a change. ;)

Just a PITA cause they are so far off from anything proper and the light patern prevents you from aiming with a wall infront of you, I ended up sitting in a dark parking lot and aiming them where I liked them, light spread isn't bad IMO i've had better and i've had worse. Another set I had a few years back were horrible, like someone forgot to remove the scratch coating on the back of the lense when assembling it
