sorry, but shouldn't you have asked 'are these any good?' BEFORE buying them?

sicma99ot 07-10-2008 09:27 PM

Re: just bought these
 
haha true. so your saying no good?

Re: just bought these
 
If your talking about output, then yes they are no good. You can retrofit it with better projectors, but that's a bitch and a half to do.

the light output is really bad. I had the 04/05 version with hids for a week then went back to stock. the light output is really spotty

Re: just bought these

Re: just bought these

woah there buddy relax... myself and many others have been on this forum for awhile and have see these egay projectors... the output sucks regardless if you have hid's, but if sicma likes them then let him put it on his vic... its all about personal preference

they put out enough light to drive with. but when you compare them to stock, they are terrible.

wait so the hid kit that ebay give you still sucks???

buckshizzo 07-13-2008 08:50 PM

Re: just bought these
 
It's not the hid kit itself. It has to do with the projectors. Those projectors are designed for halogens not hids. They simply give you a pnp kit along with the headlights. The beam is not uniform, there will be hot spots.
