Interdasting. Ebay specials?

How good is the cutoff?

Looks good. These won’t blind people like HIDs in regular reflector housings, right?

Love this. Did you get them aligned right?

How would you go about aligning your Headlights?

I know I would love to be able to not blind other people if I upgraded my lights. ( Don’t want to be that GUY/GAL, written about on here.)

Ebay faux projectors? They look better than they perform.

Have a look here for real projectors.

That basically is an HID in a regular reflector housing. They stuck a projector lense in front of it but it doesn’t have a projector reflector so the light is still scattered all of the place.

Can’t have a cutoff without a cutoff shield.

I need to convert my C4 to HID’s, too.

As soon as I replace the headlight motor...

True. On second glance there appears to be no such thing in the housing.

eBay special. New projector housings and an h1 to 6000k 55w HID....Since my headlight motors are dead and each bolt is torx head T25 and T20....I made good time.

I had to destroy the headlight buckets, but everything fits now. I will post a video tomorrow

Lined up great after a few tries with a long screwdriver

Waited until after dark? Adjusted them on the street?
