Default integra headlights!!!

so no matter what i do i cant get good lighting out of my teggs headlights, ive tried bulbs, hid kits, high beam bulbs in the low beams and its still garbage light output...

so my question is, would there be anyway to change out the projectors out of the housing and replace them with the high beam housings? basically tear apart another set of headlights and use the high beam housings for the low beams...idk how to explain it better...

Do you have any pictures of your lighting? My stock housings and bulbs seem to be more than adequate for me.

yea something has to be wrong with your setup. I just have a pnp hid kit and they look as good as my buddys s2k headlights. I would also look at the level on your headlights to ensure those are lined up.

I'm using stock headlights and they're great? I guess it's all personal preference.

My little input that I have is make sure your headlights are hooked up correctly because my driver side headlight was extremely dim and Noticed it had a cut wire where it has a connection. Make sure its plugged in so there isnt a short to say the least.

lol whut? Stock Integra projectors with HID bulbs don't even hold a candle to S2000 projectors. Not in the very least. I know because I used to have an HID kit in my stock projectors and my buddy's S2K absolutely killed my headlights.

My stock Integra projectors with 4300K bulbs:


S2000 stock headlights:


HID bulbs in stock Integra projectors only amplify the stock halogen bulb's output, which is god-awful narrow, with massive hot spotting only 25-50 feet in front of the car. HID projectors put out super-wide, evenly lit beam patterns in addition to sending that light WAY farther down the road. In fact you can see in the pics above that the S2000 shoots nearly as much light on the fence 2 lanes over (where my car is) than my car does directly in front of it.

OEM HID projectors simply own ALL other primary low beam lighting setups.
