They are gunna be bright as hell like lexus, cadillac, bmw, etc. Aim them down a bit and you should be ok. But if you want the best preformance with out blinding other people I reccommend good projector headlights. http://www.autoanything.com/lights/61A2068A0A0A2385027.aspx http://www.autoanything.com/Generic...edia=1&GroupID=0&ImageID=63925&ProductID=2068

These are expensive. But their real, not the fake projectors you get on egay that are worse than what you have. But this is purly prefrence. I would not hesitate to put them in your stock housings. But your going to see much better preformance with these than your stock ones. Also if you do decide to go this route, get the housings before you order the kit to make sure you get the right bulb. :thumbsup:

RT, if you wanna get into it, its easy and cheap. a friend of mine gets em right from the factory shipped from Japan for roughly 30 a set... and size, any color..


If my current business goes belly up then I guess its nice to have a plan B lol.

How do the projectors compare to the TYC HID reflector housings? I know projectors in general give you a nicer line but is it really worth the $150 difference?

Well not really. You would still have to buy a kit for it. That also voids the street legel card in TYCS mind (not your state laws though). SO in reality the HID reflectors are better since its an all in one kit that is legel and still has a great beam paddern. You just wont see the cutoff as well. YOu will still get FANTASTIC preformance though.

You might try the HELLA light bulbs. They're like 40 a set and 155w. Bright enough for me

The link you posted are actully a much better deal, the use stock bulbs insted of cheap H1 bulbs. If your going HID route, get the ones you posted.

Thanks for the response. I do have HID (4300k) but they are in the factory housings. I am concerned with glare for on coming traffic so I have them aimed lower than I would like. I think I will give the egay projectors a try. thanks again.

Definatly give them a try as they use the 9006 bulb. So you wont have to modify your HIDS at all. Good luck.
