has anybody bought the kit for this? how are the results? does it really look like same as a BMW or Lexus?

 

if you are just talking about the kits that are bulbs with ballasts and hookups, it will look like your stock lights, but the color, and brightness of a HID.

still reflected out, to get a projector look like a BMW, good luck...make one yourself.

 

if you go to ardperformance.com they got HID setups for 460 and then I was just thinking of getting some projector headlights.

 

do a custom retrofit job, its well worth the money

 

I got a set of McCulloch's, I just couldn't bring myself to hack up the JDM headlights

 

do you have any pics of the mccolluchs?

I was considering them, but i wanted to see how they looked on the car+opinions of people that actually have them.

thanks

i was gonna do the same thing but decided not to. even though the HIDs look great, im not sure i want to risk screwing up the JDMs, that would be a $250 mistake i cant arrord.

hahaha

did you get novacaine in your finger tips?

 

HERE'S my HIDs compared to the stock bulbs. I got the hid kit from ebay for $250, its some generic brand that's made in korea. They work pretty well, it's rated at 8000K color temp but looks more like 6000K. I've been using it for 2 months now with no problems.

 

Here a pic of my car with projectors and HIDs

what setup are you using for those HID's?

 

With mine, I'm using TL HID set up (Phillips D2S bulbs 4300k) with BMW projectors

 

Dems lights are []D [] []V[] []D dare!

 

My husband bought the HID for his 5th gen lude and the quality was good as long as you know to adjust the brightness. Sadly, the lude is gone now.

 

I have the jdm headlights and just bought a couple silverstar bulbs. The 4th gen low beams are h4's (I believe) not the ones that everybody is having a problem with. They visibility improved much over the stock bulbs and I can actually see now. Together with the stock high beams they light up everything.

I have had em for about a month now, no problems. I would suggest these as a nice alternative to an hid set...also doesnt cost as much and takes about 2min to swap.

 

but they will burn out faster than a twin turbo viper

 

brian, you bastard, got the SH wheels i wanted....where? your g/fs father? if so, how much and think you could get me a set some how?

 

What kind of BMW projectors are you using? Is there a better projector to go with compared to the others or are they all the same?

 

there is a guy on HIDPLANET.com who does it for like 700-750 to do a retrofit. And that is with OEM parts from S2000. Probably best/sharpest/coloration out there. All you do is send him ur lights and he will retrofit the s2000 projectors for you. And sends back the finished headlights wiht bulbs and ballast. All u need to do is hook up everything and ur done. He does such amazing job for a kid that is 19 years old i believe. He lives in San Francisco. He did my friends camero SS and it looks hella nioce. He posted pics of his past work and i got to say...he dont micky mouse his stuff.

With my lights, I'm using xenon projectors for a 325i BMW series, but with most of the retrofits that I do, I use the bi-xenon projectors which give out a little more light out put and can be used as a high beam as well

 

i got some valeo ece in mine...and i see so much better at night
