My spotlights (pics)!

no they arent really spot lights but *** damn these ***** are bright! These pictures dont do these things justice! By far 10 times brighter than OEM! And guess what, they arent HIDs! Im going to get those soon though! They are frickin PIAA's! These put out way more light than I expected! Very impressed! Ohh I also killed two birds with one stone and bypassed my throttle body heater too while i was in the general vicinity! Very easy mod and noticeable difference! This is probably the first time in a long time that everything that I planned got accomplished! Usually i run into a problem and have to postpone it until another day!

good luck with the future HID mod. i personally don't like those headlights (cause of that weird pattern), but if you like it, then great!

^^ Well technically speaking they are not brighter than stock and I was exaggerating when I said that but they definitely give me alot more light up front rather than lighting up the other side of the road like OEM does!

I dont see how a bulb could give you more light up front unless you re aimed your projector, its just whiter light, and they'll pop real soon. Do a retro fit!

Why would they pop? They aren't high wattage bulbs or anything! They draw the same current as stock. They'r just PIAA's! But yeah i know it's not the "perfect setup" but it's a work in progress and soon I will have an E-Code Eurospec Hella Bi-Xenon retrofit! These are the OEM projectors on the Audi A6 and are one of the brightest projectors because of the 3 inch lens! That is the size of the lens that came with the aftermarket projectors and i like them cuz they put out more light compared to the smaller projectors such as the 350Z. That will be a "perfect setup" in my opinion.
