Question What's the diffrence?

What's the diffrence between Projector headlights and Halo LED headlights? They both look nice, I'm not sure which one to get. And can I just remove the stock headlight and put these in or do I have to cut wires and rewire eveything?

Thanks.

Re: What's the diffrence?

A halo head light are also known as Angle eyes. You see these common on BMW's . Projector headlights are what they say exactly what they are. The light bulbs have a projection lens in front of them and control the light ouput. They function the best with HID lighting. Thus why you high end cars have HID with projection lenses.

What you might have is an option with the 2 together. Got links to some pics?

Re: What's the diffrence?

These are off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-96...spagenameZWDVW

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...spagenameZWDVW

So do I have to cut any wires and rewire everything inorder to use either one of these?Or can I just unbolt the stock headlights and simply replace it.Also I have read that lots of ppl are having problems with a moisture issue. I did find another site that specifically stated that their products are 100% moisture proof.

Thanks for your help.

Re: What's the diffrence?

dont buy them off ebay, those have a bad habit of letting moisture get it in them

Re: What's the diffrence?

if you buy them off ebay, you just have to reseal them yourself before installation.

So how do I reseal them myself and what would I need? And does the moisture issue go for both designs?

Re: What's the diffrence?

i have the second ones and i got them from ebay and they have a little rubber thing on the back that lets moisture OUT if it does get in, which has never been a problem for me. the only problems i have herd of is where people have had the piece of rubber up side down thus letting moisture IN.

If I get these will I have to do any rewiring at all or is it as simple as removing some bolts and replacing the stock ones? And are they bright? it seems like on your car they dont look bright or it just might be because the pictures were takin during the day.hehe.

Thanks for your help.

Re: What's the diffrence?

the only rewiring there is to do is for wireing the halos and LED's and all that involves is just splicing into the parking lights and thats very easy to do. the halos are pretty bright but as you already stated, it was daytime when i took that. i would recomend changing the stock H1 bulbs that come with the projectors with silverstar H1 bulbs cuz the stock ones are VERY crappy, but the silverstars are bright and i dont even use my brights anymore, lol.
