Rep Power: 0 You did a real HID conversion, or you bought "HID" halogen bulbs?
I've heard lots of complaints that the TYC aren't as bright as stock. I think they were designed purely for looks, which is why I'm sticking with stock.
You could either buy higher wattage bulbs and upgrade your harness, or get a HID conversion ($$$). Of course the least expensive option is to sell the projectors and go back to stock.

mine look just fine with mtec bulbs (55W)...
how much did you pay for the conversion and what are the components that you used (like brand, ballasts and how did you get the bulb into the socket)??

i also got that W design when i had my TYC projectors on...i just changed the bulbs to a stronger wattage....i never messed with it though, i just went back to stock cause it was much brighter

Rep Power: 0 i was thinking about getting TYC/with HID conversion but im a lil hesitant, im really bad at makin decisions and cant decide if i should get the TYC's with a red vic. i think the conversion with the HId at nite would be sweet!!, but i dont know about looks for a red vic, there was a pic of a member ride, flyinlow, i believe who had a sweet car but the pic was lost with the change of the site. what do u all think i should do, cause i have the money and my car is stock for now

Rep Power: 304 when you brought the HID conversion, did the kit come with new reflectors for the lights. if the kit didnt come with new reflectors then that could be your problem, halogen reflectors wont aim HID light properly.
