Ebay Projectors

okay i know alot of people have posted about these and ive gone through most of the forums about ebay projectors....

i love the way they look with the black hosing and do not plan on retrofitting them anytime soon but i want to buy them..... does anyone have pics of the light output quality of these projectors without any upgrades ???

just want to see if i will be able to live with their light quality or not before i buy them

the light output sucks and you will not be happy. unless you plan to upgrade them, dont buy them.

Look at your fog lights and imagine them with a worse beam pattern...


They are trash and not safe for you or other people on the road.

the halos are LED based which mean you won't see them during the day, and you won't see them at night if your lights are on, since they are so dim they get washed out. Even if you had no lights on, pure darkness, and just halos on, you won't see it past 5 ft.

either get some hids or get some projectors that are retrofitted with Hids like mine, but don't go with just projectors

why would you want to install crappy light with bad output just so you can install angle eyes?

angle eyes are played out

A neighbor of mine has em on his Maxima... He is not on the org but when I see him coming down our road the beams are all over the place and have no distance to em. I have asked him, and he says they do suck but he loves how they LOOK... I sigh and walk away..

i told you...there are picture, you just have to look for them.

i also said that pics wont do anything. YOU DO NOT WANT THESE LIGHTS.

there have been plenty of people like you that posted saying they wanted them. we replied saying that the light output sucked. the people were stubborn and got them anyway...then started a thread a few weeks later b1tching cause the lights sucks. they should have listening...and so should you.

i guess light output isnt really an issue if you are driving with a haze in your car

I just baught these and when I get pics I will let you know. I am also going for the "look or style" for the projector headlights. I also purchased all my HID and LED lighting through autolumination. I plan to get a 4300k fog kit once I figure out where/how to do that=)

Good luck

If you put HID's behind those crappy projectors you are going to be twice as dangerous to other drivers thanks to glare.

If you want HID's in them you NEED to swap in better projectors.

IMO, the only reason to buy the projector lamps from ebay is to do a HID projector retro. I much prefer the design for the OEM HID. Ebays look kinda cheap... Probably because they are.

Although I would love the output and cutoff of some TSX projectors or similar.

Also, smoking ruins your night vision... You're screwed either way. haha

I like that they are cleared out on the sides and the headlights have the projector. At night they shouldnt be THAT bad. If it is THAT bad I will upgrade the projector in the near future. I have to get them first though and put in the rest of the lighting. We will see soon enough. Put goodluck with what you get.

my comment was valid either way...when you learn proper english, you will realize that.

this thread is pointless...that is why you havent gotten any answers.

i dont want to see the pics? i have already seen pics, that why i know they suck. but you dont want to listen to me.

stop being lazy and look for the pictures

yeah, i would just take people's word for it... now if there were differing opinions with some people saying they suck and others saying they are great.. then i could understand why you would wanna see pics.. but if the general consensus is that they suck, then you might as well just forget about it... headlights are too important and it's not worth the safety risk

Is this maxima.org or pms.org....I think alot of people have issues.

Just give your opinions and let it go, you all sound like a bunch of 12 yr olds. Sooners we understand you dont like the headlights, move on to another topic. Whoever else posted positive, move on. There you go now you can let other people respond. It seems like its just one or two people fighting. Everyone let it go. Wow

Hopefully you can see pics soon. I should have mine up in a week hopefully, who knows...

Take care.
