    Personal choice. But I would suspect you will be limited to HID or LED kits for those projectors, and the quality of light output when mixing light kits with other's projectors may be problematic. Just thinking ahead....

    The projector that comes with the lights will be trashed

    :confused:

    So, you will open these up, replace both current projectors with new projectors? If so, you will more than likely run into a space problem, as most current HID housings will not fit into the space that the current projectors have. I've seen my son pull his hair out trying to get dual HID projectors into a Mazda 3 housing that had dual projectors already.

    As far as looks, definitely would be different and, IMHO, look great, but be careful of fitment and light output.

    Wife and I have been enjoying Chicken Express lately. Chicken tenders and gravy.

    We are starting to get Slim's Chicken around here and it's awesome. My wife grew up with it in Arkansas. Lightly breaded, good fries, and I'll admit to enjoying Slim's Sauce. :anonymous:

    Not dis'n the idea, just throwing out some actual experiences from myself and others. Personally I like the look, but functionally, I don't think it would give you enough bang/$$$.

    I hear ya

    If I could snuggle 2 projectors from TRS in there...It would instantly be better than just one

    So not sure about the bang for the buck dealy tbh

    I just want to be able to see where Im going

    ...could easily argue that one... Not sure you could even get TRS to support you there.

    Any projector from TRS would be better than the lense that comes in that headlight

    Why wouldnt 2 be better than 1?

    Ive seen a guy retro projectors into fog light housings

    His output from retro heads and fogs was mind blowing....

    Morning, assholes!

    I like the way you think. I'm pretty partial to the oatmeal stouts, but since I have two hands, I should probably partake in both!

    I bet you do... heh heh heh

    2 projectors would still be 1-high/1-low beam setup, I assume. The only delta could be if the light output from a low and a high projector were better than a just a single high/low. I haven't seen any data that shows a 2 configuration gives better output than just a single, assuming both properly setup and aimed.
