I'm looking at buying some projector headlights. Whats the difference between the old style and the new style? By that I'm referring to the ones on Cobalt-Addiction named: Cobalt Projector Headlights vs. Cobalt Projector Headlights Version 2. Thanks

 

I don't know because I still have my stockers but apparently the first version has fairly low light output with a good cutoff and dim halos, and the second version has better light output but a not so good cutoff and brighter halos. They both leak water and fog from what Ive read.
There is a new style out, I don't know anything about their cutoff or light output, but I know they don't have the brighter CCFL halos.

Personally I would go for the newer CCFL halo projectors, they have better light output. Who cares if the cutoff is bad, you can only see that when you park next to a building.

What I really want to do is build my own projectors, but you didn't ask about that (off topic )

 

Haha, no I dont feel like doing all the work involved in building my own. The new CCFL? projectors...what does that stand for and where can you buy them?

 

WOW..so much wrong info.

Old Projectors have a very good output of light and a very good cutoffline. Halos are as bright as OEM beamers and shouldnt be any brighter. People do sell leds to replace the OEM white halos to different colors and be a bit brighter as well.

The new projectors have a horrible cutoffline and the output with the light is horrible due to the cutoffline. You will be blinding everyone and you will probably get a ticket within time. The halos are CCFL but they are WAY to bright to be on the road.

 

If you plan on building your own set, sounds like you have A LOT more reading to do. "Doesn't matter because you only see the cut-off when your next to a building"..

Do you even know the purpose of the cut-off line?
