Help...I bought cheap projectors I bought theese projectors off of ebay. I knew that they only had one halo when I bid on them but I liked they way they looked. As soon as they arived I hooked them up to a car battery to see how they looked. The blue lense is actualy a di-chloric lense wich emmits a yellowish light. If I put in some nice PIAA bulbs do you think the light will come out bluish/white or will it still be yellow?
And please dont say "you should have bought TYC's" I think theese look better.
BTW: what kind of bulb do theese take? its a small single fillement bulb w/ only one post on it and it uses the entire base as the ground.

Rep Power: 375 Prod bought a set of those for his hatch and no matter what color bulb he put in the light was still whitish. Thats because of the lens. I think the bulbs are H3s. I was told if you get a lens out of a BMW projector it will give it that color. Not too sure though.

Rep Power: 307 I have the same kind, but in chrome. H1's for hi/low. I used mtec h1's and it was white and would change colors to a bluish white at the cut-off points. 7443 for turn signals, and i forgot what # was that little socket for, 168? i believe. Im not too sure. It should say it right underneath the socket. If you get any "hyper white" bulbs, it should be fine. Also, make sure to seal them up with silicione so moisture doesnt get trapped in there. Also, they dont give as much light output as stock, so be prepared.

Rep Power: 307 ^ I herd that the light will scatter all over the place blinding on-coming traffic. Also, h1 hid bulbs will not fit without modification. Im not exactly sure what modifications have to be done, I just know the h1 hid bulb is too long or something like that.
