Re: headlight question

those are projectors.. the light output is horrible with them.. you can hook up HIDs to them but i see it as a waste of money.. and blacking them out would just be a bad idea.. if you want that look you can buy the black housing projectors or you can retro-fit with an HID type projector like ones from a tsx or s2000 or something of that sort.. you can always black out ur oem ones and add HIDs to them.. its hard to find a good aftermarket HID manufacturer that actually looks good.. most of them are ridiculously bright or blind oncoming traffic.. ur best bet would be a retrofit with oem type projector/hid setup

Re: headlight question

i have oem ballasts and ignitors from a TL, then I don't even know what kinda bulbs. if you aim them correctly, they won't blind people. most of them have a painted on "shield" type thing on the bulb.

Re: headlight question

hid in those projectors will give terrible results, prolly less light than halogen bulb.

Re: headlight question

after market housing most of the time will use H3 bulbs for HID kit. it might make your car looks nice but it is not great if you like to have your light really bright
