Does anybody know of any problems? Not an appearance question. I do know that thsee projectors will be somewhat crappy lighting wise, but i like the way they look. But if they have any major problems i would like to know. Thanks guys.

my bro has them for his eg. They're not bad.....i do think they're way better than stock headlights, and at 150, i think its worth it. If you want to, you can retro fit them with some zenon lights from BMWs or Infinitis if u want......but thats pricey. I say go for it

i love those Ebay projectors cause i can rip them apart and retrofit them with HID's soo easily now.

Buy them and dishout another $400-500 for a complete HID setup- Bulbs ballast projectors and never worry about a light bulb failing on you. ive had my HID's in for a year and a half.

My neighbor had some on his EK for a while and the light output was pretty good, but you have to aim them correctly cause they usually are aimed crappily when you install them. But my stock housing with Xenon bulbs put out better light.

IMO those look really cheesy. But hey, if you like them then all power to ya! Here's a pic of how they would look.

The wiring fits like crap on mine. but i bought the car with them on. u have to take the whole housing out to adjust them, on the ek. just need to modify a bit to get a near factory fit on wiring. i like mine though, silverstar bulbs. plus the plastic needs to be buffed because of scratches during months of highway driving..

well, i bought a pair in february, and in 6 months, the left side housing lost its seal, and has since filled with water, its overall a bad deal...But for those 6 months before they went bad, well they were great!...If anybody knows how to fix that, I'd love to know however!

Hey bro Dont listen to other people when it comes to how your car looks. Its your car. DO what you want to do to it. I got projectors on my EG and i get bashed for it all the time cause its rice.. and then i turn on my lights and i just hear HOLY ****! and i leave them looking like a bunch of ******* retards. YOUR CAR!! YOUR MONEY!!! Do what you want to do

My setup. Denji Projectors. BMW E46 Bixenon Projectors with Phillips 4100k Bulbs. Hella GENIII Ballast.
Foglights are. IS300 Retroftitted onto Stock EG brackets. And Custom Foglight Enclosure with 4300k Osram Bulbs and BMW ballast and Igniter.

F**K THE HATERS!!!!!!









The little flair from the HID's is from doing the washer mod. very coming with workin with the E46 projectors as well as the TSX. but other than that cut off is very good and lights are perfect

wow good thing your still on, i guess last question would be, if and most likely i will, do the retro fit, do you know if the paint on the housing will be able to withstand the HID bulbs? Cuz i know i saw one of my friends car with aftermarket projectors on his prelude, the paint started bubbling cuz he put hyper whites in....

i can touch my headlights after about a hour of night driving.

But when i had 55w bulbs in my foglights. i couldnt touch them without getting burnt.

HID's do not get nearly as hot as Halogen Bulbs.
