Default RE: projector headlights

Heyo, great choice!

They fit well but if your car isnt lowered then you are going to have some problems with the way the beam points. Infact I dont think it matters on the ride height at all. My mustang was stock height when I put them on and the low beams point almost streight down (About 10ft infront of the car) and the high beams can bring down a CHOPPER!!!

I dont know of any way to raise or lower the beams individually, I moved the entire peice up and down but one beam is affectly adversly from the other. Also an upgrade in lightbulbs from the stock ones they supply is highly recomended, they are VERY dim lights.

All in All its a great product, I paid almost $300 for my Crystal ones with Blue projectors. Another thing, the halo may be brighter or dimmer then others that you may see, I dont know why but they are just like that. Mine are dimmer then most other.

Well I hope that I have helped, its worth the money for the look, Its an A+++ in appearance, a C- in functionality and a B+ for ease of install.

Good luck.

Good choice, projectors look good in my opinion. I'll use a set i have if I can come up with a way to use true HID bulbs in them.

Look out, the slammers can't be far behind me with their typical "rice" comments

thanks for the info, i am hesitant to buy them for a few reasons, the major one being that i cant seem to find the manufacturer of the product, which seems a bit shady.
i've also heard what you mentioned, that the projectors are dim.

thanks again,
matt

do you have any pics of your stang and how the lights look?

I dont have any pics of her right now with her halo's in, but she is slick, in the morning and at dusk I turn just the halo's on and I swear EVERYONE checks my **** out while im driving, its great ()

As for the HID conversion, you can make anything HID, your only problem will be mounting the bulbs so they dont move around, the ballists and wiring is easy.

As for the halo's though, as much attention as they get I have seen a similar single peice halo headlight on newer Camaro's and their Halo is INTENSLY BRIGHT! I mean you can see it a mile away, and its a crisp clear blue color too. I am sure that there is a way to get more juice to them or something to make them brighter.

Now as for finding the manufacturor, I cant find them either, it is really shady and I understand where you are coming from not wanting to order because you dont know how it will turn out. Well when mine came the front lense was a little separated from the back peice, I just used some clear silicone to fill it in and you cant even nottice. Moisture can and does get into them so that part sucks, I have seen some aftermarket vette projector lights that have a small fan mounted in the bottom of them to dry the headlight out. This can be acheive with a couple decent flowing 1" computer fans and super glue.

I still think they are a great mod and they do get good looks. Another thing, buy yours off of ebay, you will only pay something like $180 for the headlight and about 40-60 for shipping. Just search for 94-98 Halo headlights and you will find them.

i bet your mustang looks pretty good eric. im thinking of some other lights from 50resto.com, they are crystal clear with black inserts, should look good on a black car. plus they have a 1 year warranty.

get those pics posted !!!!!

i have to do the same thing,
thanks again,
matt
