yes, fitting them square against the stock reflector is the easy way, that mostly everyone does.

surprised these are still here. ballasts alone usually go for $150. are they d1s?

gearbox · 06-12-2009

okay found out they take d3s. im trying to see if these bulbs are widely used or a special new design. i may end up buying this kit from you.

I got one more yes.

D3S and D1S are basically the same thing, but D3S is more environmentally friendly when the bulbs are disposed of (as I am told?) - however, you can't use D3S bulbs on D1S ballasts, or vice-versa.

D3S bulbs, and D3R bulbs, are interchangeable on either ballast (there is no such thing as a D3S bulb or a D3R bulb it's the same thing.

D3 Bulbs also operate with less heat than D1 bulbs, so your lights will stay cool as a cucumber.

I forgot to mention. I also do have shrouds for these, but they are scratched and you will need to paint them (no big deal)

Yes, they do go for 150 just for the ballast at the dealer. you've boughten LEDs from me you can vouch I'm an honest guy

yeah im still undecided. these are good projectors, as small as e46 but with better output and cutoff. i would be putting em in those chrome sonar projectors if i got em, just not sure how it would look. but two hi beams would be nice lol. ill think on it some more so feel free to sell em to someone else if you get any interest.

Do you just need bulbs and ballasts? I have extra of those. And cheaper than a whole kit.

bump for another sale...

gearbox · 07-10-2009

i found some fx projectors for 150 so i think im just gonna go with those. the projector you have is a bit smaller than what im looking for. but if you happen to have any brand new 85122 philips (not the + version) d2s bulbs or d2s ballasts (35w oem) lemme know.

Jp7 · 07-10-2009

these are almost 3 inch diameter (like 2.75'ish)

They are d3s, which is a different setup than d2s.

gearbox · 07-11-2009

yeah my main reason is the d3s bulb is really hard to find. d2s is all over ebay for 50 a set. and i change mine every 1-2 yrs to keep the brightest output. the projectors you have are actually quite good in comparison to others, ive seen pics of them lit up. its just the bulbs i dont like lol

Oh - if anyone is worried about this, I'll offer replacement bulbs for 20$ each.

gearbox · 07-11-2009

how much stuff do you have? lol thats a great deal actually. here is some more info on these for you. they are roughly the same size as the small bosch E46 projector, but much brighter. great for small spaces. some quick pics and comparison to E55 hella projector output. D3S is supposed to be the upgrade bulb to d1s, so i suspect it will become more popular. it is more eco friendly and has a bit more lumens, and RF interference is almost non existant so no worries about radio reception and ecu signals being affected like with cheaper ballasts.

yours is on the left, e55 on right. it has very good light spread and bright hotspot.
