As pretty as those are, they don't project any more light than normal projectors produce...

It's probably more about looks than performance, I'd think...

basically, but they are nice as hell! someone on hidplanet was doing a retrofit with them, i havent been active since i did my retro so i dont know how it came out if he even finished it, but last i checked it was coming along well. also they have a very sharp cut off.

Yeah I've heard their output isn't all that great compared to other projectors, and they are really big so won't fit into alot of housings. They are definitely more for looks.

yep +1 what everyone said above... Go E46, TL, Lexus LS430 (I think) or even E55 if you're going bi-xenon, S2000 or Mitsu Evo if you're going single xenon.
