we wanna see the cutoff!

face your car at a wall at night, turn the lights on and take pics of the cutoff... cuz thats what I'd be interested in knowing.

[slagithor]

I know what ya mean man. im sitting here watching the sun go down so i can. Damn Earth Spin faster!! i dont think it will be anything special just a cleaner light stream.

either tap em in to your parking lights (i.e. sidemarkers) or wire them up to a custom switch like you would with foglights.

[slagithor]

yeah i think i will wire it in to the parking lights. i dont want lights so small to have their own switch. but thanks man! any help is help.

i was looking to get one of this too so i can get some 3000k hid and it looks pretty good. which seller did you buy from?

also curious to see if it has any cut off line. i saw some other threads saying these are not the real projectors and have no cut off lines.

[bersh240]

whats that little light for anyway?

[Hooked on 240]

If your referring to the little blue light its suppose to be a "city light". does nothing but light up blue....

[mrgreeneyes]

those arent real projectors FYI.

get some silverstars for those puppies

I got some ebay H4 projector headlights too but one of the projector lens in one housing was not attached to metal brackets and was loose inside the housing so was kinda pissed because there was no way to fix it... so i bought hellas, and i <3 em

[slagithor]

they dont really have a cut-off. and i got them from the seller "Racer Union"but here is how they look at night. i notice the improvementhere is at 25ft.and closethis shows how dispersed the light gets but like i said i got what i expected for so cheap.

[slagithor]

Yes i do realize they are not real projectors and i do wanna get the silver star ones i just wanna make sure they dont get moisture inside them or anything.

Yes safety is important. So be sure to get these lights just like he did. This way you can blind all the other drivers on the road. Then they can become distracted and smash into you or other people. Hooray!!!

There's a thread on here where someone bought the hella h4 conversion w/ silverstars, anyone know where that thread is? Can't find it.

No HID = No cutoff. Why did you put regular bulbs in projector housings? They're meant for HIDs. Unless you're planning on getting HID's soon I would have kept the sealed beams.

Nice shag btw. 70's rule haha.

[asoomal]

That's a terrible cut off....

[Warped161]

i picked up some ebay housings a while back.the right one is ebay, much brighter light but not the projector type. didn't see a need for it and they were dirt cheap.

i put regular bulbs to test them and see how long the housings last im gonna get better ones soon. and even with the s*** bulbs they are a vast improvement on my sealed beams. plus i mean its a total of 8 screws each light its not like i cant change them back if they become a problem. as for oncoming traffic they are no where near as blinding as HIDs IMO

[chaosli]

i did a projector retro fit the cutoff line came out decent

then i did real projectors on my silvia now that is a whole another level but i got no pic of it yet

Lots of cars have halogens in projectors housing....

Even halogens need cut offs.

[chaosli]

[asoomal]

Proper cutoff, won't blind other drivers, won't make you look like an idiot and a jackass :
