Re: headlight problem

there are knobs on the bottom of the headlight housing. these adjust the headlight

i just want to make sure that you know that HID and projectors are two different things. HIDs cost twice as much as projectors

If not more...and unless you have nothing better to spend money on I think that the look of the projector setup will fill what you want.

yes i did know that HID and projector are two different things. i wanted to get projection lights AND HID lights.and why would the HID lights cost more than the projector lights, isn't it just a light bulb.

Well, it all depends on what temp HID you get. If you are lookin for like BMW M5 lights, they are like 8000K temp rating. That would prolly cost you like 500+ PER side, not a set. And did you say you wanted projector AND HID, or you were looking at either or. Because I dont know what the hell you would need both for.

Re: headlight problem

well if HID lights cost 400+ dollars. how much will projector lights cost and are they easy to install. HID lights are just too much for now.

Re: headlight problem

projectors = $200-$250 ebay.

install = about the easiest install you will EVER do

Why would you want both, and how would that work...you only have one set of headlights...and I dont think that projector as your low beam and HID as your high is really going to do anything. Yeah it might look cool, but the 1000 bucks you invested in your lights could be put to much better use...hell thats like 500 short of nice rims and tires

Re: headlight problem

actually, with the projector lights off ebay, the projector is the high beam light. the low beams are no brighter than the stock lighting.

personally, i believe having projectors and HID would be very unsafe. you would be putting out too much light and there would be a good chance that you would be blinding anybody coming at you
