Default Opinions on Projector headlights

I have heard that projector headlights are very poor for anything but show.

What kind of car are you putting them on? What is your purpose for putting them on?

I personally like my stock headlights, so I am against them anyway. I prefer to put my money into something under my hood instead.

i love my projector headlights, mabye because its the only aftermarket part on the car that adds to the appearance of the crx. i got mine off of ebay for 45 dollers shipped, some guy listed it incorectly and i found it, i was the only person that saw the auction! i would have never paid full price for them, but it was an opportunity that i couldnt pass up.

If you want projectors, see if you can find Denji's. Those are the only decent quality ones. I have them, I can give a rats ass what other people think of them. They are different, they're glass, but yes, light output is not as good, but that's why you need to retrofit Xenon projectors

well, for all of you nay sayers, i got some. ha. and i think they are alright for the price i paid for them. they are not good for driving at all, but i did switch out the bulbs with them to Xenon's. Improved somewhat, but no drastically. now that they are in, i will probably focus on restoring the car and getting another project car.

p.s. one of my halo rings are not the same as the other four. weird, yet ricey at the same time.

i will never do the projector conversion again. first of all, they are cheaply made. they weigh all of 6 oz.'s and "to ensure quality" you must seal the housing with silicon to protect from moisture. very big pain in the ass. the angel eyes alone are fierce though, omg. take a look.
