Anyone tried the Projector Headlights?

badguybuster · 04-19-2009, 04:06 AM

I was on ebay and saw some of the Projector headlights for my Tacoma, the look pretty sweet. Is anyone running them? Opinions?

i opted out on those and went with the BHLM and am much more satisfied with the looks but my buddy felt the need to one up me by getting these so, when he gets his in i will give you a review from him

i ssw pics of some guy who had them on here and the heat from the light melted the clear housing... if its cheap its probably cheap for a reason

mjp2 · 04-29-2009, 01:57 PM

Mine were around $170 for the pair and they're worked well for me.

Viet2100 · 04-29-2009, 02:10 PM

I <3 mine. No melting, even with my e46 3" projectors and HIDs.

Keason1* · 04-29-2009, 02:11 PM

well maybe the guys i saw were just a bad pair? idk
Viet2100 yours look badass in your sig!

The headlights are very bright and effective. The low beams have a visor built into the housing that creates a hard horizontal line at just the right height so as not to blind the cars in front of you.

That last picture is a bit misleading. It was taken within minutes of the other shots with the same camera settings. The 6 bumper lights total 2.8 million candlepower and make everything else look dim by comparison. The shot shows the angles of the lights. Center two HIDs are dead straight, middle halogens angle slightly, and outside halogens angle even more for enhanced peripheral light.

And no, I don't flash non-racers with them.

And here's a video looking at the lights. It's pretty obvious when the camera gets below that line.

That should do it.

badguybuster · 05-04-2009, 07:49 AM

Do you mind if I ask where you got them? And what bulbs you are running?

mjp2 · 05-04-2009, 07:59 AM

Ebay, and the stock bulbs that came in 'em. No HIDs in there.

Bought them from the seller "k2motor" and had no issues at all.

you like them over the stocks?

mjp2 · 05-04-2009, 09:50 AM

I definitely like the look a whole lot better. Light-wise, the stock headlights with HIDs are tough to beat.

On-road I keep the fogs on with these, and offroad isn't much of a concern for me.

thats what i was wondering.....but what if i combined projectors and hid?

i dont know god damn it how bout i give you twenty bucks and you drive up here(or push) and let me see what they look like in the dark

mjp2 · 05-04-2009, 11:08 AM

As for HIDs, I haven't opened these up to figure how to wire that up just yet. They're plug-and-play and are sealed so it would take a bit to get these hooked up for HIDs. The stock headlights use 1 bulb for hi/low whereas these are separate.

It's on my to-do list, but it's pretty low as I'm working on all suspension stuff lately.

stephbm6 · 05-04-2009, 03:29 PM

I think the halo's look better then the stock headlights. I've never had a problem with them.

Edrin55 · 05-04-2009, 03:36 PM

Just a quick questions guys......Do these work with the the 09 DTRLs???
