what kind of projectors do u have? i have to retro fit projectors into my car and i don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars on bmw projectors etc...so i wanna do it the cheap way out and buy those aftermarket projector headlights for civics and cut out the projector and retro fit it into my car...and i don't have to change the bulbs either, if i go with bmw i'd have to buy the d2s bulbs etc

if you are puting projectors into your stock housing, i think you should just save up to get real hid projectors.. 'cause the light output on the aftermarket projectors aren't that good. then again, its better than stock with halogen bulbs.

^that^ one includes hid bulbs and ballast... i guess you can get that and sell the hids that you are using right now.

I think reflective housing w/ H4 gives greater light output then any projector (without HID ofcourse)

the tyc's suck. I had them on my car for a day before I returned them to the dealer. It was like having 2 flashlights sitting on my front bumper to see at night. The stock headlights put out more light.
