Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
^^^^ You would be correct. :P Also drunkie, i have found the best way to make room for the projectors behind is to take a hole saw and mount it to your drill, and line it up and go at'er. It leaves a nice round hole that the projector/wires can be routed through. I tried with a dremel on the one side, but it did not turn out good at all. Kinda wish i would have remembered i had a hole saw before i started that side....

Thats a good idea with the hole saw...didn't think of that.

The headlight and Fog light setup has burned over $1,200 in my pocket

Uh, I hope that is because you have done MORE than ONE set of headlights, right?

Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
I'm about to order a set of aftermarket headlights for my projector retro, and I just came across another aftermarket projector headlight
IPCW Headlights - CWS-359C2 | eBay
Someone hurry up and buy a set.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
Those do not look like Grand prix headlights LOL
In fact googling the part number turns up the old and wonderful headlights
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
Lawl. Stupid eBay sellers.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
Anyone else done a retro on the 2004+
Looks pretty good.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
I have, and I know more have. They look loads better and perform way better.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
are there still no good projectors? is everyone just retro-fitting?
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
Basically.
For a little more money you get ALOT more quality. Plus you get the added bonus of customizing it how you want, and knowing what went in it and how to replace it should something go wrong.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
I don't think any ebay projector headlights really work the way a real projector should....Not for the price they sell things anyways.
Maybe I should start a company that modls and designs aftermarket lights with projectors that work. The problem is they probably would ring out to be $1000 for a set of lights.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
i just don't want to shell out that much money, nor do i have time to do all the work. my headlights are getting so sh!tty that i need to do something. i want to get the black projector ones, but if the light output is really THAT bad, it's not worth it and i'll just get another set of stock housings.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
^ yup save your money. Either get stock replacements are cleans yours or retro fit it bust.
Re: 04+ Spyder/Ebay Projector Headlights - Why you shouldn't buy them
Doing a retrofit though is getting cheaper by the day.
Headlights - $80
Projectors - $110
HID kit (DDM) - $30
Other stuff (shroud, jbweld, sealant) - $50
Total - $270 for projector headlights is about what you can expect. Which is almost half what I spent when I did the 2nd set, my first set was astronomical since the Morimoto's weren't around yet. Projectors cost me $300 for the FX-Rs 1.0 if memory serves me right.
