Has anybody bought these? I got them from ebay they are the clear ones not the halos. They arent bright when I have the "projector" lenses on.Why? the brights are awesome. I noticted when I looked into them before putting them in they had a piece of plastic covering half of where the bulb shines out at whats up with that?

most of your e bay pro beam headlights require a HID (high intensity discharge) conversion.Not saying you didnt know what it ment just easier to spell it out and not have to ask questions later.I am just guessing here but I would have to say that the plastic covering the lense is to help concentrate the beam instead of letting the light diffuse in a wide beam.But I'm no expert.

Alot of people complain about the projetor lenses when they put them on a neon. As 99 Neon R/T pointed out, you will need to do an HID conversion to get any type of decent light output. eBay or not, the projectors aren't very good on the neon w/o the HID. Modern Performance carries a new projector headlight for only $140. Here is the link...

A little but not as much as you want.You can get them at alot of different places.Of course the better known ones are going to run you a little more but you get what you pay for.Good luck

the piece I was talking about is in front of the headlight bulb it covers half of the light it looks like I wonder if I could break it off and make it brighter I dont know what the purpose is it dont look like its anything to help concentrate the light or anything.
