My experience is, if it's an aftermarket projector housing that uses an H3 foglight bulb, then the beam pattern and light output will most likely suck or not be as good as stock headlights. The transverse filament in H3 bulbs just does not do well for beam pattern as other bulbs like the 9005/9006 bulbs use in Integra projectors, which have axial filaments. If you want the best light w/ halogen bulbs, either try to retrofit some Integra projector housings into a set of aftermarket projector headlights, or leave 'em stock.

What they need to release is some 9006 Projector headlights on the market like with EF/ED new projectors house. Those projectors are smaller and use 9006 and look sweet.

My H3's have good vision though, and I use 55W w/o the restrictor in there and H3 HID's =

then we'll see what's up

that's a rumor.

when i switched to projectors, i actually love the view they give.

and with high beams as well. let's just day they make a complete 12 hour around at night, making it look like day -- well, not exactly but you get my point

the projectors are very bright and give an awesome view on the road (if you align them right), as well as how the look to other people

plus if any trucks **** me off, i turn on the high beams and blind 'em hehe j/k

projectors are awesome, i just wish they came out with 9006 projectors rather than H3's, but o wells.

Those Halo projectors look pretty good on that car IMHO...maybe in the black on black housing thing. How is the beam on them? Better visibility Vic?

to answer ur questions...

laugHin22CX: yes those are the angel eyes. he got the HIDs from an 02 Maxima.

Guardson3r3: yeah the black housing definitely sets it off. i dont like the chrome housing ones on any color car. the beam pattern is pretty good. i'll get a pic of em at night when i get a chance. like MTK said, HIDs in a halogen housing will never be as good as HID in its proper HID housing. but for what it is, it pretty good.

visibility is not so much improved over the stock headlight housings, but it does reduce the amount of blinding light hitting oncoming drivers.

from a distance it looks great because the beam looks different colors thru a projector depending on what angle ur viewing them at. one second theyre blue, another, theyre white. also, the projector just makes the light look more intense. a la` S2K.

poison: im not sure if theyre H3, my friend just took out the bulbs that came with them and set his bulbs in.
