They're way worse than stock. My stock housings that were hazed to hell and back were twice as bright, swear on it!
Bio,
Projectors are projectors, some have clear lenses some don't. They all function similar. Don't see how they're ugly unless you're talking about the shrouds people are using. I mean do you really think the stock bulb reflector is hot or what?
When I talk about projectors I'm not including that ebay crap, I'm talking about the real deal, FX-R, TSX (clear lense), Morimoto. Yeah ebay projectors get the job done but they don't even compare to those listed above.
