Projector Headlights

How about pojectors & HID ...



Another pic in the day with the old d15b2.... I know I need some new ones but I just have to download them in....

how far can you see with the low beams only?

[johnnym]

Probably twice as far as b4... When it rains it really sucks though.. Reflects off the road. I have a 7000k kid so I'm sure the 4500k is much brighter....

Seems like a hit or miss...Finding a new OEM headlight instead of a projector sounds like a better option.

Thanks for the info and experience, guys!

yea i too was thinking about getting projector headlights, mostly for the look...

but i'll probably just get better bulbs for my stock headlights (and clean the water drops out of the housing)

But before i do that, i need to reaim my headlights - the housing on the right side wiggles some and the left side housing aims right at peoples eyes..lol. Getting that fixed today hopefully.

I've had and know people who have projector headlights. Light oput vs OEM sucks plain and simple.. HID + projectors is pretty cool but also illegal in some areas..like in my state

I have a connection for some dual projectors. I've never seen them on a civic/crx, but if they are anything like my friends 96 hatch who has the same brand they are bright as hell. Both lows and hi's are H1 bulbs - he gets flashed all the time on his lows. Contact me for more info.

[DirtyD777]

yup they are bright but the problem with visability is they don't shine very far with the puny h1 halo bulbs in them. just really bright for a really short distance in front of the car.

[4G4D Store]

I would take his H1 bulbs behind a big ass magnifying lens over my stock bulbs anyday. Shan 40 feet in front of the far and you cant see anything, just a bright light.

a h4 hid kit would be nice and bright (=
i just happen to have one in my closet

I bought those all chrome ones off ebay, made by Sonar. I am going today to the shop to get them adjusted which i hope is the problem. You can adjust cause the screw is next to the frame. I drove in front of my car and i am blinded. Every time the car hit a bump in the road it looked like it was flashing it's lights at me. The chrome reflection also throws light about 5 feet higher than my Eclipse's roof. They are bright and the highbeams even brighter. I hope it is the adjustement because i dont know what else to do but put in a low watt kmart bulb, cover the lense with tint material, or somehow get inside and cover up the chrome right under the low beam. I wish when you buy on ebay they would tell you the maker of the item so you can research it. If i knew now, i wouldn't have bought them.
The halo looks good and the shop wired a switch so i can turn it on and off, which in NJ is a good thing, cops dont like any extra lights on cars.

sounds like you are trading close in brightness for distance on these things. Too bad they look so good and work so poorly.

ive been tinting my projectors that i got from sonar years ago..but im not gonna mess with them anymore..the passenger side halo never worked when i got it and now its cracked in several places..only noticeable up close but enough to piss me off lol they do make the 4th gens look mean tho..itll be weird if/when i switch back to stock headlights
