They do look nice, but looks like you will still have to hack up the header, the back looks very much like the other ones (mine).

Those are actually the first chrome ones that I like.

they look ok, but only one angel eye? wtf is that? but i like my style better, even though the quality sucks. the new ones look like they just stuck projectors in the stock lights. you guys forget, if they dont put the reflector in the corner, its not DOT approved or legal.

Much Much better than the other Ebay projectors IMO. They almost look like the AED projectors..Almost. I give it a little while before they release a Clear corner version

Someone finally listened to what the GA community has been asking for. I have to admit, I'm highly considering buying these. I'd love to see how they look installed first but if I see that then I probably won't be able to stop myself from buying a set...

I would wait and see if they come out with a clear corner edition..

Of course a month after I bought the other projectors. Id much rather have these, especially with clear corners. I might just sell mine and pick these up.

I just put mine on last week, so I dunno how great long term is, but they seem decent so far. But you have to cut your header panel to fit them.

those black clear corner projectors are the shiznit. i am getting them for sure. then i will get HIDs. damn, they dropped these when i have to work on my interior, oh well exterior always come first to me (except for paint that will have to wait lol)

Blackhawk
05-12-2008, 08:32 AM
Hmm, I have chrome headlights on my car now and like them but the black would be pretty sick too! Definitely gonna think about these, they may be even cheaper in two months considering the other projector lights have dropped their price by like half.

Im so glad that they ditched the 3 Side LED's!

Im so glad that they ditched the 3 Side LED's!


agreed. I left mine out. I was going to cut that side off mine and fiberglass it smooth then add a small signal light on the side. would look just like these new headlights, but not have the factory amber side.

speedemon77
05-13-2008, 12:05 AM
so those 3 led lights are not the turn signal but rather just show interesting to know

Silver 4 door
05-13-2008, 08:25 AM
they are white LEDs in them. You can hook them up any way you want. for marker lights, signals, or anything. I was going to get some amber LEDs to fit into them and make them signal lights

ssracer
05-13-2008, 08:40 AM
I never have swapped out the led's in mine. still running them the way they came.

I don't mind them.

03graystone
05-13-2008, 05:18 PM
i still think, no offense to anyone, that these new projectors are waaaay nicer, and cleaner. personally i like the older style ones, but they look JUST like every other aftermarket ones you see on Civics, F-150s, Magnums, etc. these new ones look like they belong like that. and i think its well worth selling current heads to get the new ones :)

ssracer
05-13-2008, 09:15 PM
These new ones do look much more like they could have been stock on the car, but I'm happy with my "old" prjectors...lol

OMG!!!! I really need a set now


are they H1 bulbs?
and did you have to cut to get them in?

03graystone
05-21-2008, 10:28 PM
they look great, and in the first pic it looks like theres clear plastic covering it, which shows quality that they care about getting scratched. and yeah, i wanna know if they are H1 bulbs or not, and cant wait to see nicer pics. ur car looks silver haha. but anyway, yeah i wanna get those then HIDs for them, then install them so hurry hurry let us know! lol

BattousaiX23

I am definitely going to get a set of these after my surgery.

blackgt2k
05-22-2008, 07:23 AM
that car is my cousins car. it is silver. as for the types of bulbs, i already looked,they are both H1's i ordered a set the same time he did and im just waiting for the replacement HID bulb to come in. the lights are wrapped in plastic they do look like a much better quality product. another nice thing is that they do not have the nipples on the lense. so you could put a layer of rock blocker over them much easier. I should have better pics soon. though they look awesome....

Gagt518
05-22-2008, 02:00 PM
Alright, They do look very good i must say. Did they require any cutting for them to be installed :???2:

blackgt2k
05-22-2008, 02:32 PM
yes they are gonna require cutting to fit. the pic above shows them pushed in as far as they will go.

03graystone

03graystone
05-25-2008, 10:18 PM
well i dont know what you mean by pain in the ass.. but i know all projectors you have to cut out the header, and hard wire the LED/halos in. but what else is involved that pissed you off? i would like to know before i buy them.

ssracer
05-25-2008, 10:27 PM
Damn...those look sooooooo much better that the older style that I have...damnit! Can't afford to buy new lights again...lol

Silver 4 door
05-25-2008, 10:30 PM
its just cutting the header till you get them to fit back far enough and adjust right. I just ordered the same pair for mine. soon as they get here I'm selling my old style projectors.

they look so good man

man I hope mine get here soon.

blackgt2k
05-28-2008, 10:30 PM
the inner bulb is a silvania silverstar 3157, you can get them at any autoparts store. as for the rings, they really dont light up. there are leds in there though it looks like it lights up the projector bulb instead. i pulled the leds in my fogs cause they keep on burning out. so i said the hell with it. just run without them.

Silver 4 door
05-28-2008, 10:39 PM
thanks for the number. they will match my fog lights when nether of them are on.

I agree with what your saying about the LEDs. my old style really light up. when I get mine like yours I'm going to take them apart and get 4 white CCFL's in them.

Hows the light output with the new HID projector lamps compared to the OEM Clear Housings with HID's in them Jay?

blackgt2k
05-29-2008, 02:03 PM
big difference. with the old lights the light output went everywhere. granted you could still see, though i noticed last night that there is a more distinctive line of light. its brighter and covers a greater surface area.

real real close to what i think are the altimate headlight. i think the chrome with clear reflector just a little to much chrome like stock ones were like....and the blk with clear reflector, i think to much blk .

take that design make clear corner reflector blk in behind ,and either add SOME small amount of blk threw out the rest of the housing or possibliy make the out side lense smoke a bit.
blk with clear corners would look super on a blk car and all chrome great on white or light silver . OR if you have a ton of things on your car tinted out etc.

but my car is silver metallic mist 1999to 2000, darker silver that actually takes on 2 different tints depending on outside light. i need in between headlight darkness, thus went with the TYC blk/chrome inside housing , with clear reflector with blk in behind the reflector. thus closest match to my PFYC style generation II altezza GUNMENTAL taillights.

also not sure if i like the void of no light in that middle round bulb area , i guess in these it would be the high beam location ,when just low beams on. also the cutting out thing . i could easily make a mess of that. bad enough just ususal taking out and putting of ga headlights is a wee tricky.

are projectors of these design reall show more and better distance lenght and width wise versus add say ultra silver 9007 bulbs etc.
