Re: HID on aftermarket projectors?

no get the whole projector, not just the lens.... and use the ballasts from your kit.

Aftermarket Halogen projectors usually suck ass.. I had an 8000K setup on my 98 civic with aftermarket projectors and the lighting sucked because of 2 reasons.

1. Crappy projectors
2. 8000K bulbs

I now did a retrofit with e55 bixenon projectors with 4300K philips D2s bulbs. Not that hard to do, just tedious when aiming. I've only done 1 set and am now going to redo it to get a better look.

I suggest a similar path for you. retrofit some HID projectors into your lights. Bixenon if you want HID highbeams or single xenon if you have separate highbeams. I got my kid from xenondepot and my projectors from ebay. I know that hid planet also sells full kits that include the projectors too but do your research and find which ones you want. Not all projectors are the same.

you should also give yourself an attitude check or you wont last long here... bringing up old threads is annoying and against forum rules.
