dont uglify your car, get some stock headlights or maybe some jdm ****. ebays projectors are very poor in quality, you will be mad at your self later. i was

 

The projector headlights sold on ebay are:

1. Ugly
2. Poor quality
3. leak 90% of the time
4. Have worse light output than stock
5. Ugly

If you MUST have projectors, I'd suggest getting some OEM or CTR style headlights and doing a HID retro fit with some BMW projectors and HID kit.

Results are awesome

That's pretty much it.

 

ok sounds good i was looking for this type of info.

 

Yea once you have a real HID system in your car. and I mean a real OEM projector setup...not some plug and play kit....you will NEVER want regular halogen lights again.

 

hid retro ftw

 

just get some HIDS and you will be good

??? lol i think his headlights themselves are messed up...being why he wants new ones.

Get some OEMs or some OEM CTRs. Dont bother with the OEM CTR ($500+) if you're doing the retro. IMO, that's a waste.

Dont bother with the retro either. Just keep it simple. Buy some headlights, put some bulbs in them, and drive the car.

I know that Projector HIDs are wayyyyy nicer than regular halogens (I have an S2000 and GSR), but the money involved in this retro is INSANE!!

You're looking at spending $500-1000 for mother freaking headlights.

JDM CTR replicas are available at Island motorsports. I think they're like $120 for both.

 

get some stock headlights - if you want you could bake them and paint them - but i wouldn't

then just throw in a set of phillips - check out Eran's thread on lights

I'm liking this set nowadays:



And I'm getting rid of my backup set. See sig.

When you say the headlights are fucked, do you mean they look foggy? if so, you can repair them to look new.
