Rep Power: 260 those are the ebay ones. you wont get very good output with those and halogen bulbs. the picture i posted is with ebay projectors and thats the brightest and most light i have seen from ebay projectors. i am using the same bulbs as gearbox too. and it will look like the W. my left projector shines across a whole interstate and my right one can barely shine 50 feet and not too too far out in front, thats why i took them off.
and ebay ones DO make a W pattern. and these were not aimed perfectly because both of the mounting points broke on each one but they were close

Rep Power: 260 ah i see. i painted mines black too cuz the chrome looks cheap as hell imo
one of my friends has the dual ones, and he is using some Eurodezigns bulbs and it projects green. i had those bulbs in H4 at the same time and mines were bluish white and his was green as hell.

Rep Power: 410 the one right now isn't good, just better than the bad one. the valeo into tyc retrofit was bad because the valeo projectors don't put out as much light as my ZKW bi-xenon projectors do. also, the colorband was weaksauce compared to the ZKW.

Rep Power: 260 ahh i see. did you just take the Valoes out and put the bi-xenons or did you do another retro with another set of TYCs? if you just replaced them did they mount up the same as the Valoes or you had to mod them

back to the topic at hand, the halogen projectors should have a W pattern like everyone stated. the headlights that you have (the original poster) are not good in quality, but shouldn't be too hard to retrofit something in there.

Rep Power: 410 i have seen an e55 bi-xenon retrofit into those style headlights before. you have to cut away part of the turn signal reflector (or was it the high beam reflector) to make it fit, but it was a nice retrofit.
