Default These projector lights...any good?

Has anybody seen these in action? Are they good reflectors? I have some HIDs that I want to use, but I don't know if these would handle them and if they are really going to light up the road. Thanks for your comments.

there is no reason to go beyond regular projectors and a good set of HID hardware if you want more visability at night, anything more is excessive and ricey imo

I am not really trying to get more light. The thing is that projector lights aim the light a lot better. I currently have my HIDs on the factory headlights and they look like crap. They light up the road, but the light is all over the place...no focused in front.

then just get some basic projectors and you wont be able to use the hid bulbs on your stocks, you will have to get new hid bulbs for hwhatever will fit your intended projectors. EX: My projectors use h3 bulbs

Oh, so you think that is where the line should be drawn, huh? The rice line.

I dunno they have built in fog lights and if you have looked at the front bumper of the 6th gen you cant fit fog lights in there without them looking like crap. I dont think these are too bad. They definatly have a look of there own unlike tezzas, and they serve a purpose unlike LED winsheild squirters and exhaust tips.

I am sorry to say this, but that is really ugly. I am sure these head lights will not make my car look that bad. All really wanted to know what if the projector was a good one or not. Not all projectors are designed right.

3 projector is still too much, you only need one just for the driving lights

What I was aiming for with these lights was to gain that nice look that most new cars have. Notice that all new cas no longer have the plain head lamps. There design is a little more complex, stylish, and light up the road better.

Most important, I love the way projector lights disperse the HID light ( I used to have them on an Integra).

If you guys know of any other lamp that I can use, please let me know. The one above was just one that I found. Thanks.
