Thread: Best headlights for the money

What is the best headlight/ blub combination for the money. I think it is time for some cosmetic/ upgrade maintenance and I was curious if there is anything out there that is a good option.

well i just bought some ccfl projectors and i bought hid's for them they should be here thursday ill upload pics when i do it but hid for the headlights are h1 bulbs

You could retro fit yours.

Get new OEM's from rockauto for a decent price.

Get stock black housing ones off ebay.

Many options.

black crystals with HIDs.

Do it yourself black headlights with matching corners or a set of retros.

You asked what the BEST headlight setup is.

A set of brand new housings with morimoto mini h1 projectors retrofitted in (or if you'd rather have better lightout but a much more difficult job FX-R projectors are the best) are the best. As far as looks, a clean MH1 retro will look sexy.

mine as an example...

If you put HIDs in stock OEM style housings at all, I will forever call you ricerboy.

excess silicon. i had just sealed them and wanted to take pics. they're cleaned up now. **** off.

love my halos 120 for full assembly with a lil wiring needed

i have HID's im my projectors i got my projectors for free, i would never have choose the clear ones for my GP i think they look kind of ugly IMO but the light output is nice!






really wish i had retros though

Retros are so worth it. Go compare light output with someone who has a retro. You'll drool.

^ Yup x2 drive something that has projectors and you'll never go back to HID w/o proj. Trust me I know i'm on my 4th set. Can't stand borrowing someones car without them makes visibility that much harder.

That's a huge improvement, but you'll definitely notice a difference in doing a retro vs ebay projectors as well. Those super sharp super pretty super bright cutoffs, great foreground limiters, and all that extra distance... so worth it.

Ok so, I have HIDs in my stock housings because I have problems seeing at night yet I don't have the money to blow on a retrofit. Am I a ricer boy too?

DDM.

I took them out of the car until I can afford a better quality kit. Moisture got into harness and burned thru wire after shorting out.
