Default Info on Projector headlights

Hi everyone,

What's the benefit of having projector headlights (halo/angel headlights) rather than having the regular default headlights? Thanks!

You have just asked two diffrent questions...

Halo/Angel are just for show/looks

Projectors (which dont have to come with the halo) are better because they focus the light better towards the road.

like nater_1 has just said, with projectors, they'll focus the light onto the street better. Halos/Angel eyes is nothing but looks for BMW's. On any other car, it just looks retarded

Now are projector headlights foused halogen lights or are they actually HID Xenon lights? Because I've been finding Angel Eye projector housings and I dont know what kind of lamp they use.

There's both types, but if you're planning on having HIDs, then be sure to purchase HID projectors and not halogen projectors.

The optics inside a halogen projector are, in no way, similiar to that of a HID projector.

Yeah I've been doing non-stop research on this and I finally found that they were not the same bulbs and that they put out bad lighting. I'll probably just end up doing retrofits in a one piece housing, I just have to wait for some S2k projectors to get on the market :/

They're sometimes hard to come by, but when you do find them, they usually sell anywhere from $350-$400 for the pair
