Buying maxima stuff on Ebay

Sup Guys, Anybody been buying stuff on ebay lately? I was thinking of getting those projectors.. good or bad? Are they different from the ones at the website dealers? I just happened to have a paypal coupon for 10% off the purchase so I was thinking of getting it, otherwise if you guys say they suck i might not even bother. Anyways heres the coupon incase you guys wanna get stuff too. Coupon: CATLSP051025 (save 10% off your purchase)

Look bro before any1 flames u bout the projectors imma tell u str8 out THEY SUCK. BUT very BIG BUT they can be modified to have awesome output. You must swap out projectors and put some good projectors I chose the e46 bosch single xenon. I have heard the TL projectors are the best in terms of output and color. If you are interested about the swap go to Dr Roys website he has an awessome write up.

You talking about the headlights, I presume? Yeah, they are a good upgrade for the 2K-2K1's, but I heard the beam pattern is all over the place, resulting in bad light output. If I were you, I would save some money and upgrade to the OEM HID's. I know they are quite expensive, but sometimes you'll get a great deal if you're lucky. I'm not sure of your area if you have a high crime rate, but I think the HID's are worth the investment.

They are a good upgrade but the light output is bad?

Searching is your friend...


These projectors are only good if you do a retrofit a la Dr Roy and many others now... you should be able to find many retrofit threads in recent weeks, so just look around a bit...

Man i want to get those projectors and try a retrofit but my friend is telling me that some idiot in my neighborhood would think that i have HIDs and rip my headlight out anyway. I live in an area where they steal them all the time. I dont think they have too much recently because of that data dot security thing. But still i dont wanna spend 200 bucks on the lamps then for the projectors. I have and hid kit right now in my stock 00 lamps and my output is horrible i can see the top of peoples houses rather than see the floor. I just dont wanna lose all that money if some guy rips it out
