Well my projector lenses are melting again and the only reason i can think of that this would happen is due to the bulbs in them being too powerful and running too hot. I was wondering if A: someone knows the name of that kind of bulb so i can buy replacements? and B: has anyone else changed theses bulbs out and to what? i was thinking of going with silverstars since they are cheap and i dont have alot of cash to spend right now with my turbo project going on. thanks guys.

 

switch them out with anything that uses the 55 w or w/e it is. nothing higher(might be 60 or something i dont remember). in my focus, i got some ebay projectors asnd they did the same thing. i switched them out with philips bluevision, got better vision AND never overheated. so get those or silverstars.

 

also the bluevisions are a lot cheaper..

 

thanks

 

whaT IS THE ACTUAL bulb # for the replacements in the projectors?

 

i dont remember completely it might have been h1

 

Projector headlights use the H1 light bulb

 

and the h1 is the low beam bulb, correct?

 

They use H1's for both highs and lows.

 

I got my Projectors off of Ebay and I replaced the Bulbs with SilverStar H1. They work great and they have a nice bright beam to them. They also match up pretty close to the Fog lamps in terms of the brightness.

 

cool h1 it is so ill be getting those thanks guys

 

h1 it is and i am going to the store right now to buy them, does anyone know if my turn siganls are illegal being white or not?

 

also, is 3157 our front turn signal code?

 

its illegal to have white ones... 3157 is the bulb i believe.

 

yeah stealth auto has some nice chrome colored turn signal bulbs im thinking of ordereing after i test these silverstars out to see if my lens quits melting

 

I just bought some H1 Silverstars as I resealed one of my projectors last night, put it back in today and VOILA.. no more low beam. Im praying to god this is just a burnt out bulb :S... On a side note, get orange 3157 blulbs, I think they look hot up in the corners because they are such a bright vibrant orange.. gives more contrast as you will NEVER match the colour of the halos and LED's. And you will be legal too ... as it is I get enough cops looking @ my lights with strange looks, no need to give them anymore reason to pull me over
