    Ive been searching on the forum and cant seem to find anyone with these headlights on.
    They have been catching my attention and wondering how is the ouput on these?
    And can anyone post a picture with a gp with these lights on? Thanks.
    I searched forawhile and cant find any

    Light output from most if not all aftermarket projector headlights seem to suck.

    i mean they look cool but the light output blows, thats y ppl use hid kits on them, alot of ppl with the 97-03 have them tho and just use HID's and ppl with my model do retro for the most part

    Stay away from those. Those have the worst light output of all the aftermarket projectors. You are better off staying with stock lights. Spyders have the best output of the bunch.

    Not with these. They have worse output than stock and no cut off what so ever. Here are pics of the output. This is not my car.

    Stock headlight housing output is horrible. Bottom line.

    Spyder projectors have the best output in the after market capsule world.
    The ones you posted aren't very good, probably worse that ln stock.

    If u want style and good output, get projectors. If u want good output, do projector retrofits on stock housing.
