Projector Installed!

Notice I said Projector and not Projectors

I spent the last hour hooking up my new projector and soldering and everything, andI pull out the other one to install it. I hold it up to the car and I notice something is very wrong, but I cant quite place it.

Then I realize, I have to Passenger Side Headlights

I have a huge car show on saturday and I only have one headlight


Two-Face


Projector vs Stock


Stock Highbeam


Projector Highbeam


Projector Close-up

This will cause atleast 100 threads on the internet because of people spotting you and taking pics then calling your car rice or something.

The same retard that sent two driver side ones to someone else, everyone beware! Simple mixup for a packing guy going to fast.

You really think the low beams are brighter?

I would agree that the High beams are but I personally like the stock low beam. but I working on just memory and you have one of each. can you post a comparison of the low beams? thanks.

The headlights fit perfect and the low beams are about 1.5x brighter than stock, and the high beams are at least 3x brighter than stock.

I got them from Vertex Racing

I didnt think mine were that good. the brights 2x as bright and low beam to be the same or a little worse. but that can be a matter of subjective opinion or that I got mine from SpeedX.

Um didn't you look at the headlights before starting to install them??????

It was the senders fault sending 2 passanger side one but you should have noticed that before starting the install.

the 9007's use 1 filiment for both hi and lo, these use 2 filaments for hi's so they are def brighter,
Now throw a hid in the mix and lookout!
