Hey, I have heard from someone that these headlights break easy, or sometin inside them breaks. Has anyone had any problems with them, or know ne other info that would be helpful? thanks

the actual headlights do not break...

the halos inside the "halo projectors" stop working after awhile...

go with TYCs, you wonthave a problem

the "halo projectors", is that the ring? or the whole centre bulb part? can this replaced and if so, how much?

 
Rep Power: 434

the halo = the ring. you can replace the LEDs but that requires opening the headlights. i don't think you're quite ready for that yet, considering you don't know what the halo is...

^haha true...i have those on my car now and the only problem ive had is the fact that it foggs up like a bitch...other than that, they look hot

Aside from the halo ring, are there usually problems with the centre bulb(LED) inside the ring? Even if the ring stops working? is the headlight still good?

light output will suck.

I've had both Sonar and the twin halo projectors on my car all of them are complete ****!! I mean I had problems fogging up, glare and simply mediocre light output, I am yet to try TYC which works best with or without HID at least what I've heard so I was stubborn and didn't listen what I've been told "projectors only look good" and now I finally agreed.

hmm... im pretty sure that Im gonna silicone the edges so that moisture cant leak in.. and as far as the mediocore light output.. i guess ill have to live with it..worst comes to worst.. use the the high beams.

are there bulbs u can buy for these lights that will shine brighter?

get soem sylvania silverstars. they are about the brightest bulbs you can get without going into HID. i have those headlights and one halo is out but they work fine.

 
Rep Power: 0

thanks for the tip... would the sylvania's power the halo ring?.. or are they the bulb in the middle?.. or does it power both?..... sorrry if i sound stupid and uneducated but i jus bought these lights mainly because i got a great deal.. so im jus tryin to figure out all that I can about them. thanks

 
Rep Power: 434

the halo ring is lit up with LEDs. read the posts above your own and you will see that we [probably] already answered that question.

"the bulb in the middle" is the low beam projector.

silverstars just creater whiter light not brighter

infact they make seeing in fog and snow more difficult


go HID or go back to stock imo

 
Rep Power: 434

HID is worse in the rain than stock halogen bulbs, just so you know...

 
Rep Power: 334

I got the sonar's and they looks clean but the problem is you gotta aim the projectors. Remember that they don't usually come preaimed and aiming them can become a hassle. Another thing one of my halos started tripping the other day. While it's on my left halo blinks rapidly i think it might be going out.

ok wait..so my complete understanding of this is that halos look nice but suck ***??...anyway..cuz i was thinking about getting them but if they die out quickly then no point in getting them...but my real question is..if i get projector lights...can i use the same stock bulbs?...or do i have to get projector bulbs..if there are any..lol... oh ps there gonna be crappy ebay projectors..cuz there nice n cheap ..lol....anyway..thanks for any repsonse towards this all help is much apprieciated

if u dont hook up the halo ring, will the lowbeam still be bright enough at night?

 
Rep Power: 0

Dudes, listen...the halo is just decorative and it's lit up by its own led bulb! It will have NO EFFECT on the brightness of the low and high beam bulbs if it burns out. Your low beam will always be the same brightness and can be replaced just like any other stock bulb when it burns out.

FYI, your projector will use H1 bulbs instead of the stock H4's. One H1 for the low beam and another H1 for the high beam. H1's are much smaller so they tend to be kind of dim. I'm using Sylvania silverstars in mine and they're about as bright as you can get for H1's, IMO. Like others have said, Projectors look good but they don't light up the road all that great so think about what you want to achieve when buying/installing projectors (either looks, or functionality, but you can't get both!)

you're telling me that you can't have looks AND functionality from a projector headlight?

 
Rep Power: 298

yea, hid sucks anus in the rain, but any other time, its good

 
Rep Power: 434

especially during the day.

 
Rep Power: 0

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm not saying it won't function, I'm just saying the amount of light cast onto the road is a lot less than stock headlights. At least that's how mine are compared to stock. It's also what other members have said many times about this. Just do a search if you want to find out more. Basically though, you should do what you like to your car. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. I like my projectors and I think they make my car look hella better so I'm keeping them!

 
Rep Power: 434

apparently you're new to the forum. welcome, my friend. i am the third or fourth member to have retrofitted his aftermarket projector headlights with OEM projectors, ballasts, and bulbs. you can have both looks and functionality if you do a retrofit.

Hey, yeah you're right about the HID's. I'm not really new. I've been a member since 2003, but I never really learned how to change my avatar, nor do I really care what it says. I don't post much either, usually just use the site for research and entertainment purposes. Anyway, congrats on the HID's

 
Rep Power: 434

lol i'm just being an ***. but yeah, projectors and functionality go together very well if you use the right equipment. it's just a matter of if you want to spend more money or not
