i may be intrested, gona have a go at cleaning the laquer off first, but if memory serves me correctly they were crap before they fogged over. for all those who have used projector, how much better are they? :?
i would have thought the left ,right thing can be fairly easly sorted. yes the beams would be pointing at the on coming cars, this is why you have to apply those funny stickers over your lights for driving on the left

Projectors make a huge difference. Especially when combined with HID's.

The best way is to split a set of stock 4g lights and stick a decent projector in there. The HID kit I have I got from jayjay, I think it's a more expensive one.

Just low beam mate. High would be pointless. Hids are illegal after market now unless you have washer jets fitted. My accord has projector lens with H1 bulbs and they rock. My prelude lights were Clubbing Eddy so I fitted 30% brighter Halffords bulbs and the difference was muchh better. Try to refurb your lights too. Paul

i found a guy on ebay sellind a pair, there for a bmw motorcycle (£39) he has a few sets, so £20 each seems good, but then can i do away with the reflector part? or paint it :?

so just the lens part with bulbs is ok, not as good as hid but much better than std. next question, are cheap hid kits any good, i see some upwards of £800 :shock: then some less than £40, there just lights :?

Those auris ones might be a good shout! Not so sure on the bike ones, no idea where they came from before someone wamped them in there.
