Headlights

not at all. like D said, plug n play. i did it to my 83 GTI and my 01 Taco. easy peasy. Hardest part is trying to figure out where you want to put the balasts.

 

#3=projector . gots my vote

 

ive got #1 in my truck with a PnP hid kit.

Total cost is about $160. $30 for the lights from fleabay, and $130 for the hid kit i got. Ive got no complaints except the lights are loose in the factory metal housing. You can see them move while driving at night..dosent bother me, but the people in front of me think im flashing them or something.

ive got a set of blue projectors i can sell ya..I had a cheapy set of bulbs in there, so they werent the brightest.

 

yeah i got the first ones in my truck now so i dont need yours. but thank you. i have some silverstar cool blue bulbs in there now kind of dim on low beams but high beams are bright as fuck!

Jersey when you got these headlights did you have to re aim them?

 

i did. I aimed mine high thou cuz my hid kit dosent have hi/low...its only high. I drive dark roads going to and from the gf's house, so i aimed them high. I get high beamed alot, but i just beep and keep going.

 

where did you get the first ones? i want them!

 

ebay

 

thanks what about the third? im sure ebay too right? haha

 

1st one.

 

my buddy had all three of those for his jeep the the first one looks nice and is bright but the reflector jiggles over bumps, the second one is the brightest and doesnt jiggle at all, and the third one doesnt reflect and is really dim

 

Get the black housing, and then smoke those corners.

 

i am glad to see this thread still going but i have already purchased the first ones and put them on my truck. not that happy with the brightness of them but my fog lights are bright enought lol but they look good

 

Most inexpensive lights are Not DOT (Department of Transportation) approved. These are sold for off road or show use only, but many Ebay sellers will misslead you until you straight up ask if they are DOT approved.

Good quality street legal lights are DOT and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) approved.

In VA the headlight lense must have the DOT stamp to pass inspection.

 

ebay and get kydo bulbs. there cheap and work really good!

 

well i live in sc and we dont have to pass any inspections

 

saw 3 on a jeep cherrokee today, looked horrible and sagged in their brackets...

anything but 3...

 

Tried option 1 on the 82 hilux & they sucked ass. Try the projectors I guess.........

 

Option one is a reflector housing. Options two and three have projectors. Unfortunately they use cheap fog light projectors that usually produce terrible output. The black housing on Option three has a projector so the reflector is not used. Alot of retrofitters paint the reflector black to avoid blinding reflections and interference with the cutoff. Of course they install quality projectors.

As you have determined option one is your best choice with a quality bulb it's output is probably pretty good. HID in a reflector housing is a different discussion.

 

my truck isnt street legal..Your point?

 

Any update to the OP on this purchase?
