Why make a thread bout every cheap part you look at? why not combine them all? Projectors are usually a love hate thing. Aftermarket projectors will need to be sealed and they may or may not light the road as well as your stocks.

Id suggest black housing headlights [type r style] they look good and are cheap.

But someone set on projectors will get them.

there had been lots of threads on projector headlights recently. give it a search and you will find them. But projector headlights are about personal preference, some people likes them some people dont. One thing most people complain about them is the poor light output. If you like the looks of them and dont mind the not so good light output compared to oem or the black housing halogen headlights then get them.

Thanks for your input. I was worried about the light output. First thing I need to do is get the old ones cleaned up and then we will see.
