Default Headlight Question "projectors"

I am planning on going with projectors in the next couple days, The only thing is i need to know which kit to buy. They are Denjis with the projector on the outside and the halogen on the inside. So what kit do i need to either run the high and low through the projector and a halogen. Or have the Projector as strictly a low beam and the halogen as a high beam..Or what ever recommendations you guys have..

Thanks Alot

I recommend against projectors
Unless you do a retrofit which cost a lot and takes time and knowledge, they will look like crap.
But thats just me

I had a set of Denji's (with the glass face.. .not sure if they still come that way or not) on my Accord a few years ago. The light output was absolutely terrible. They had the dual projector lens setup. Fortunately, I didn't buy them (came on it when I bought the car) and sold them on ebay for $125.

I advise against it.

Pensonaly the denji's have a crap cut off, I would get the TYC's, but thats my opinion. As far as i Know the denji's use a h1 bulb for both the projector and the reflector housings.

For the denji's, since you have 2 separate bulbs, it would make the projector your low with a h3 HID kit and obviously the high would be halogen H1's. Hope that finally answers your questions.

BTW, don't get a HID kit over 6k in the projector.... It's start looking like ****. Get and "OEM temp" kit.
