i can probably get you a set of denji projectors.
but you can probably look in mags at nopi ads n ****
they probably have them advertised.
the black housing ones are nice but discontinued long ago.

the vision on those are pretty ok. i have to say decent,
BUT if you slapped on a set of HID's on your headlights you'd have a better view.
did the accident damage your headlights as well?

i think projectors would look wierd next to the vision ambers period.
if anything just get a set of SiR-S headlights. brighter than your stock
the housing allows the bean to fall farther than the stock housings you have.
its plastic also. no worries about rocks

I don't have any pics but I know they make them. Try any big auto shop online and I'm sure you can find some, just look.

I just got a pair of clear projectors from my buddy who sells bunch of APC crap online. They look good, entirely clear you can see the highbeam bulb and projector. The beam output is excellent, I think the high beams are a bit too bright for road driving, light output is more that of a set of KC hilights. but the projectors work great.
However the fit of the product is not so good. adjusting the friggin things in the housing is a pain in the butt and my high beam and projectors are reversed, the projectors come on when high beam is engaged, high beam bulbs come on when I turn off the highbeam switch, go figure. I think it might be cuz the projector bulbs are higher wattage than my high beam bulbs...

i have shark eyes brand projectors with the clear/chrome housing. i have been very happy with them.

i also have the OEM-style fog lamp kit, but the lenses on mine appear bluish when off, but are solid amber/yellow when on. oh, and the covers are painted (by a shop) to match my body.

Thanks guys. The corner lights were cheapy clears that I sprayed myself, looks pretty good I think for a total of $15. The headlights I got off Ebay of all places--think I paid around $110 for them brand new. The lights themselves say Denji on them but were packaged in a Jaguar Eyes box. The fitment isnt that great--the outer sides didnt match up so I just left it unbolted, just like someone else said they are a bitch to adjust.
As for the turbo kit. Well, its not on yet. I decided to go with a larger turbo than the small T3 I have here (its for sale). The intercooler is actually a starion unit that I modified myself.

Man, don't get projectors. The light output sucks compared to HID bulbs in stock headlight housings. Been there, done that. I've been running HIDs for over 8 months now and wouldn't switch back to Denji projectors for any reason (looks cleaner IMO with stock headlights anyways.... kinda got bored of my projectors)
