ok so i got projectors for my 04 lx coupe.  is there anyway to getting these things brighter beside retrofit HID? maybe better grounding or anything like that? these things are just dim as hell!

Also anyother cheap ways to make my lights blue. I have the H2 lights and all of them look blue till i get them installed and they are just white.. sorry if stupid ?

well FROM WHAT IVE HEARD..... the bulbs that come in those projectors just suck.... MAYBE try some new good bulbs, but if thats not bright enough then buy some HIDs for them...

i dont know what brand projectors i got for my 94 but they look just as good as stock ones. maybe i just got a killer deal tho....

Ill post some pic when I can. so you can see. Im having nothing but problems with them. Cant get them aimed correctly. there is only one ajusment point on each light that is supposed to adjust the x and y axis. and the hi beams all in one.
also the dim issue
the lights dont last worth a crap in this set up
They dont look like they were supposed to in the picture whern i bought them..as far as the output of light.

guess thats what I get for getting stuff thru ebay.

yup....my projectors are out of alignment (i just cant get them right), but suprisingly they light up really good....idk, maybe i got lucky but retrofit HID's would do the trick if you want to go that route. It's been done before

I'm with addiction... I think they light up the road just fine (I'd say better than stock) then again, I'm pretty sure we both have the same headlights though lol

But I'd say change the bulbs to something good.. if that doesn't work, retrofit.

Probabaly 600 for a good retro, you can find a lot of the parts on ebay, or HIDplanet.com
