I'm in need of new headlights and i wanted to see if anyone had pics of the CE clear/chrome internal headlights with hid's...

also if anyone has a single or dual projectors with an hid....

i would really appreciate it if you can post pics...thanks.

 

E46 bi-xenon projectors (HID, obviously) 4300k

 

so you took those out of a bmw 5 series? and it fit a maxima headlight perfectly?...is the bulb upgradeable to a 6000k?

 

No, BMW 3-series. No, it doesn't fit "perfectly" no retrofit is going to be a perfect fit it'll require cutting. It uses D2S capsules (bulbs) so it will accept any D2S bulb, regardless of color temperature. I don't know why you'd want anything other than 4100k or 4300k with these though, mine have all kinds of blue going on when you see it driving down the road (because of the cutoff).

 

2004/05 Acura Tl projectors.. best ones u can get.. pricy but worth it... do require a lot of cutting though

 

old picture, but good to show the dual projecter HIDs

They are the eBay/CE clear glass lense headlights. They're fairly new, not sure how you missed the 12103901 threads about them
I have a single 4300k D2S laying around

 

Hey sorry to get off topic but are those Enkei LM1's? They look great man!



gtr_rider, where did you get those headlights and how much did they set you back if you dont mind me asking? They look badass!

 

LMK!

They are 95-96 backings(no lines) with the new CE glass fronts(no lines)

 

They are all over ebay for a 100.00 bux. Thats where I got mine from when they first came out. The seller even included 9004 bulbs with them, which I had no use for.

 

The d2rs should work just fine, but if you really want to be picky all you have to do is sand off the brown lines or whatever those things are off of them. It doesn't make much difference for light output. I would refer you to the how to thread on hidplanet.com but they are down for some reason.

 

He claims to have had some nice issues with the D2R's, and even shaving them down I'd want some D2S's just for peace of mind to know they are secure in the socket (instead of having to have a modified base when using the D2R).

I got some plastic melted on one of my D2S's right after I got the things and managed to get it off, and it's never been "perfect." Nothing most people would notice, but color-wise I'm kinda picky (ok, I nitpick down to details no one ever should). For example, as mine warm up, they don't warm up at quite the same rate. They are identical capsules, and used to warm up the same, but don't anymore. One is just a TINY bit faster than the other

 

If I didn't have Bosche ballasts I would be running D4S bulbs

 

Quit bragging

Me too

 

D4S? explain please

They dont make that much of a difference anyways... bigger bulb runs at 50 watts right... ?

 

Its not much of a difference in output, they are basically mercury free and last about the same as d2s/d2r, MAYBE put out a lil bit of more light, but i dont see it being worth it considering you gotta find the proper ballast and buy the bulbs which cost lil more than d2s/d2r. BTW here are pics of my automobile =)

 

werddd.. only two in Sofla with em..

 

damn, wish I had the time and money to make me one of those

 

Actually theres some other guy that i helpd do his through AIM, his in the gables but goes to school out of states so his car is never hear.

 

so... he doesnt count

 

Dont u guys lose ur brights? or is that only with bulbs not projectors?

 

do you mean highbeam? yes we do, thats why some guys go for bixenon, personally to me the single xenon projectors are more than enough, so highbeams arent really needed, unless u want to flash or signal someone. but as far as being able to see from a distance, single xenons are good enough.

Thanks for posting this link. I was wanting some help on this.

 

D4S = More color same output

 

Bixenon isn't just for flashing someone. Mine greatly increases both the width and distance of my projected light, and mine aren't aimed low or anything.

 

blahhhhh. lol. ok fine bixnons own, but singles are still nice. =)

 

singles are ok.... bixenon is the way to go... believe me when ur driving in a dark a.ss neighborhood late at night and u cant see good.... ull kick urself for not spending a little more money and going with bixenon

 

very nice. let me see on highbeans how dose it look?

 

I love my singles. I have the H3 for the high bt never use them 1. because i never need them and 2. because im to lazy to wire them in so they dont work anyway.

They are 4th generation chrome headlights, TSX projectors, E46 single shrouds painted bright silver, and a custom chrome bezel was added to make them more unique.





Oh yeah, these are now for sale.

 

Wow, a lot of you guys have gorgeous light setups! For the immediate future I'm putting my money more towards the basic performance suspension mods (rsb, y-pipe, etc) but after that I'll have to decide between rims and lights. The stock '97 SE rims aren't terrible though and these lights look great...

 

why are you selling them?
