Default Ebay projectors...

So, I have been reading a bit on HIDs and Projectors... and I came across these headlights.



what do you think? and seriously, do you think these are gonna be decent for what i am paying? Around 120 for them, plus 100 for shipping. comes with the corners, signal, and headlights.

on the topic of HID, I could just get one of those kits to convert my stock plugs to HID's? A kit not from ebay, obviously, but I can do that? I understand the concept, but I just want some clarification.

thats about how much they are going for and you get the clear signals. for the hid's you will need to get the bulb size that the projectors uses.

Those projectors are for halogens I'll tell you that right now. Unless you're doing a full retrofit just buy a plug and play xenon kit which will still work in those projectors, but you just won't get a clean cutoff line as you would with a full retrofit. . Talk to basbal he sells the kits for the forum from Mobil HID which is where I also bought mine. Before you install those lights make sure you silicone the edges to waterproof them.

I personally hate the look of "euro lights " " altezza" it screams rice to me... but to each his own. If you like them get them don't let me be the judge, it's not my car remember.

They'll probably be fine. Just make sure to seal the outside edge where the lens meets the housing with silicone sealant.

You can put HIDs in them. It's illegal, but if you adjust them properly a cop probably won't notice that you shouldn't have them. They're projectors, so glare won't be as bad as a reflector housing. If they have a stepped beam cutoff then you probably won't have any more glare than a car that came with HIDs. Many projectors on eBay nowadays have a stepped cutoff. It will not say in the listing, most likely.
