Don't know... I've never done it. But I have experience with electronics, custom fabrication, and sculpting/bondo work. So I figured I can do it. Depends on how confident you are in being able to mount and position the new units in the housing.

 

any problems with the new projectors?

 

Reading > You.

 

I will say the halo's ******* rock though...my god ppl stare when I drive by now...with my old ones I don't think they noticed the halos, but damn they are soo bright now...can see mine in the day

 

I do like the design of these new projectors better. They look great on the car. Just have to get the best of both worlds (form and function) and we'll be set.

 

I have to agree that they sure do look better on the car. Mine should be here early next week and I will be using Halogens instead of the HID's and see how much better/worse the cutoff is and if there is a lot of glare or not.

 

am i the only one who thinks that deadzens pic doesn't look much better then silents?

they both have hotspots and cutoffs, but silents pics are closer so of course they'll be more pronouced

 

There should be a solid cut-off. Go look at my other thread on EcotecForum:

You'll see my cut-off form the old projectors. That's how it SHOULD look.

 

i know what it should look like basically flat line with the right side higher.. i was just saying if you can make the old ones look nice with that type of cut off and deadzens don't look good maybe with a bit of work/ fennegling you can get the new ones better?

 

Take a look of Double LP's setup on page 18. his cut-off is almost perfect so what's up with yours. Do they still need adjusting?

Jaust asking because they are definatly different.

 

i just installed mine...2 questions....how longs does it usually take for the halos to light up??? because the one around my high beam is taking FOREVER...uh oh...and second...is there supposed to be a small gap on the botom inside corner of the lights, where they come to a point, between the light and fascia

 

read my post again... i know the old ones can look perfect.. however dead zen's pics have alot of hot spots and glare.. and they're from further back and he has the old style projectors.. so if you can make it look perfect when his pic has so many similar issues who says you can't somehow fix the new ones..

 

sorry my bad...missunderstood what you were saying.

cheers

 

hehe no harm no fowl i still love you

 

My CCFL Halos took a full day. I also turned them on/off multiple times while adjusting the headlights. They were on for the most part of the day. As soon as I started the car for the 3rd time, the halos became bright as they can probably ever be... They are blinding now if you look into them lol.

 

I would all depend on your mechanical skill . A OEM type Xenon projector is most likely going to be longer than the aftermarket projector , and I will about garantee the OEM unit will not just bolt up in place of the aftermarket .

Theres no way to really know though without having the headlights apart . It may be worth the effort the to try swapping out the the aftermarket 2.5" lens for something like a Acura TSX 2.5" glass lens , and then the most important part ...fab your own sheilds . That would be the easiest thing to do 1st for minimal cost .

 

It sounds like too much work for me. As long as the light output is better then any halogen bulb il be happy. How is it on the road?

 

mine are a lot better then halogen...still waiting to put my HIDs in though

**Edit**
Mine are a lot better light output then the 1st style projectors, even though the cut-off isn't as nice, I can read road signs and they still have great color on the cut-off. We'll see how much better the output is with the HIDs

 

Yours ARE halogen. They will probably look better with standard H7 halogen bulbs... as that's what they were designed for. HID bulbs are longer and therefore change the pattern. That's why these look bad with HIDs.

 

So my newer new black projectors should be in sometime this week!!

 

nice man, hope these ones work for ya

 

Il be puttin mine in tomorrow. Il be takin a lot of pics of the halogen cutoff so we'll see if its any better then the HID cutoff.

 

alright cool...even though I already know what it looks like,and i personally like them more than the older ones. (cuz i can see the road signs)

 

But are there any hot spots or glare with the halogens? I really dont wanna stick wit regular bulbs but if thats wat it takes for a good cutoff il jus leave em alone.

SOMEONE PLEASE BUY MY HID KIT

 

Pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
