anybody ran these ebay "projector" headlights

Post by tunerautomotive.net »

Since Im in the engine bay relaying all the lights and installing fogs figured I might aswell upgrade from the sealed beams to some H4's. Ive had good luck with most Ebay stuff and at $28 shipped , I figure why the hell not . :)

I saw those also, but I am not sure of them. If you should purchase, give us an update after a month. Thanks.

I bought a set of projectors for my 90 cabby, they went in easy enough, the difference between the blue and the white was amazing, but when the highs were on with the blues it was totally radical, and a hell of an improvement.

When I got my replacement cabs, I stayed with silverstars.

Yes, but it was too long ago to remember who the seller was.

The thing about the blue-tinted bulbs is you're actually losing light in the blue coating. They put out less light at the same wattage than clear bulbs.

I agree . I had planned to install PIAA bulbs in place of the supplied ones that come with the auction.
