Only thing I can say is that they aren't as bright as your stock headlights ... The light is more concentrated but the range of light is reduced ...

I like mine as well. I like how they look in the day and I like how they look at night. As was said, the beam is projected in a more concentrated beam so the light won't cover the sides of the road as much as they do with stock headlights.
A few problems with mine though. First... I found it pretty hard to adjust the beams... if the low beams are right, the highs aren't (at least in my case). Also... my bulbs used to burn out rather quickly, but I think this is just because I used to have bulbs with high wattages. Another thing that was totally unexpected (and I don't know if anybody else had this problem) is that the passenger side projector lens (the one in the pic) cracked one day and it now has a vertical line down the center and kinda looks like a cat's eye marble. That particular picture was taken before this happened, by the way. I think the lens cracked because of heat... but I can't be sure.

GhettoLegs ... I think your projector would look good if you painted the chrome housing black :cool:
My projectors also shattered ... I'm guessing a rock hit it but the damage looks like someone took a baseball bat to it ... it just shattered :(

Yea I have projectors and yea the damn bulbs burn out pretty quickly, about once a month. But good luck with em....yea they're a bitch to adjust!! But when they're adjusted properly, (to me), theres not really that much difference....or maybe its just that I dont remember how the oem one's lit up cause I had my projectors on there unaligned and all messed up for about a month :flipa: :rolleyes: So I guess anything is better than that!! :D

Yea cause theres not enough space to do it w/o taking my headlights off, since the projector is on the outside parts of the headlamp.

So it's all for show for during day time......cause usually "blue ions" are a little bit more expensive...
