Projector headlights?

[smug]

I am thinking of getting some black projector headlights for my car because the light output if horrible. The black ones actually dont look that bad but before I buy I need to know if any one has any experience with these. I dont want to spend $200 on some junk.

Good? Bad?
and go

If they're $200, they're junk. Retro's if you want to have nice light output.

Yup x2 to retrofit. Theretrofitsource.com is a good resource. I think it was Andy that did a mini retrofit on his GP. Turned out good.

That's what I was afraid of. I have a lead on some retrofit housings but the guy is kinda being slow to respond about it

 

[Yaj Yak]

you got dem skillz to make your own... also definitely have a plethora of used projectors id assume

Add some cash to that 200 bucks and make a retro. You will not regret it.

I just bought projector retro housings from a person on Clubgp. Dude said they are way better then the spyder light because he had those first and they sucked. I also just bought LEDs for everything, for both cars, interior lighting, licence plate lights, brake lights, running lights, switchback turn signal, ect.


Yeah I like this stuff

[smug]

ive switched to a lb per lb parts swapping model just recently....

 

[smug]

lmao. sounds like a scrap yard

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

not scrap bro

 

[smug]

retro fit projectors I got are garbage..... hopefully he will take them back

 

[SleeperLS]

Do you know what kind of projectors they are?

 

[smug]

Mini h1 projectors. The projectors looked okay but the headlight housing, bracket and lens was junk. I did test them on my car and the hid bulbs were almost green in color too. I just sent the whole deal back to the seller

 

[framos242]

Any pics of them? Care to say who the seller is so I can avoid them?

 

[PANDA]

Please don't rice out that nice car

 

[Euro]

Every time I see a car with projector retrofits all I can think of is..

 

[smug]

Seller is not from here so no need to worry.

I agree that most projector lights look bad and these didn't look to bad at all. I need some lights that work better then stock garbage with HID because i cant see shit at night. My other cars head lights are a million times better and they are stock projector with aftermarket HIDs. Don't worry Panda, I am not going to rice my car out but stock junk is not cutting it.

That's because your other car is a HONDA not a piece of shit GM.

 

[torquelover]

Is this for the GTP? If so, how about using the lower bumper corner openings where the driving lights are for a proper lens/reflector HID driving light?

retro fit projectors I got are garbage..... hopefully he will take them back

This worries me. I just ordered some retro fit headlights for my Camaro. I too was sick of shitty light output. All the feedback on the guys stuff that I got said very positive things though, so hopefully I'm good. Fingers crossed. Sorry yours didn't work out.

I have some that came with my camaro also i have not really looked at them at all, how do i know if they are shit

Post a picture, it's easy to tell. Or look on Ebay, if they cheap ass $200 ones look just like the ones you have, ditch them. Realistically, they're fake, not very many people make reto's and they're usually pretty expensive when made with quality projectors.
