Not those triple beam, BMW copy cat headlights that use H1 and H3 bulbs. I found this on eBay.


It looks just like the regular headlight housing but has a projector in it. And I noticed the JDM city light hook up at the top of the housings. Anyone seen these before or have them or know where else I can find them besides eBay? I figured they would be better for when I do an HID conversion. Opinions?

Projectors on halogen lamps and HID lamps are different, and shouldn't be interchanged; just as with refractor lenses and HID kits.

Thanks I finally got to see a pic of how bad it looks with HID in a reflector housing not to mention blinding oncoming traffic. But I did come across someone who had that setup and it had a pretty nice cutoff beam with aiming them down. Oh well.

Exactly. It is better with a halogen projector type housing like you posted, but still the only way to get HID performance is with a full conversion with OEM HID projectors.

I found more links on the topic thru another thread I had started.

And found some full conversions w/ OEM parts like you said.

Definitely the way to go

Sounds like they'd be better, you'd be the first to try though (that I know of)

Somebody beat me to it. '97 housing with '05 S2k projectors. Nice

hmm.....those headlights in the original post don't look bad. Now we just need to figure out what kind of output they put out

Tsunami

I wonder about the output also now that I know a little more about projectors.

that isn't a city light on the top, that's the second bulb which serves as the high beam

cool, where can you find these?
