Yeah, I have to use my high beams most everywhere I go... haha

Yes, I'm planning a retro as soon as I can get some projectors. I'll reinstall my stock lights obviously.

I was at the local drag strip last night and a few guys walked over and started admiring them.. haha they said it looks like a skyline (right after one drove by (just about the time I shat myself)) and i was like 'yeah, kinda the point.' lol

Where did you purchase these from? Ebay?
If you did could you post a link of the seller selling these lights?

You fit a set of projects into the headlights instead of using the normal 9004 bulb. Then you'd have the great light output like the vehicles with projectors have, in your car.

I supposed the beam pattern wouldn't look as bad with HID's. I was wondering the same thing myself. I don't really want to retro if I don't have to.

do you guys this its worth to wire the lights so that the inner and outer lights work?...would that help?...maybe the retro will be the only answer to better output....

I haven't really thought about any other bulbs. I'm not apposed to trying however. I haven't changed anything with them, I'm still using the original patern. It doesn't bother me much now that I'm used to it.

Where can I get those bulbs eh?

just got these and beam pattern does suck BUT...intensity is really good. im guessing since the light is dispersed into such a small area then the intensity is really good.

whatever...TL bi-xenon with ZKW lenses should fix that
