White Lightning Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yep ... I gave up my search long ago and bought stock replacement light lenses and installed the HIDs anyways ... worked great for me untill you got pulled over on the way to scraping haha Didn't get pulled over because of Halos ... They did not like my green Low beams (especially the way they shined with the old lenses) ... When I got back into town that monday, they dropped the ticket because they could not prove to me in writing that my lights were illeagal ...

mbdblue Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I agree, don't like them either. the choices are very limited on projectors for my car too.

alaskanzx5 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I have done much research on HIDs, they use less power, and produce more light, but only when aimed correctly. That is why I want projectors so they are aimed right. I found a pair that are smoked, and with the halos off, it does not look so bad, but then I think, that what is the point of getting HIDs with smoked lens, it just seems stupid. So what I think I will have to do is since my Explorer came with a 2 piece turn signal/headlight, I will get new lens, that are clearer, cleanup the grounds, and get Silverstar Ultras. that will be the best I can do for now. I will also just use some night shades on the turn signal part, I think it will look sick against my black truck. Also, if I upset anybody about the racist comment, sorry it was a joke, I guess my sense of humor does not transfer over intext. Also meade, I saw a Expedition in the parking lot at my work with 5 stick on vents on each side, and chrome edging around every door. do a projector retro fit http://www.theretrofitsource.com/index.php?cPath=25 t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

1996BLKBauer Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I completely agree that it depends on the car, I just know that it would look very stupid on my Explorer. on a 3000GT it looks real nice. 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

BEEMDUB Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 so are you referring to the shitty ass halos that come preassembled in headlights? Or the real halos that you have to open up your headlight housing and place in like the ones AAC and Flashtec sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1996BLKBauer Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 why don't you just get some of these http://www.ebay.com/...bf71c83&vxp=mtr and then retrofit some morimoto projectors in them. http://www.ebay.com/...2358d85&vxp=mtr thats what I'll do! I was considering that actually, on my Explorer forum, many of the people on there have tried that, but it involved putting the plastic housings in an oven to be able to separate it, to gain access to the inside to place the projector, and if I mess up that is $100 mistake. Other then that, it really does not seem that hard to do. 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

ShortWide1994 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just finished up my retro-fit today, it's ridiculous how much a good set of projector's and hids improve light output and you can paint your reflector whatever color you want and make them look a lot better than those cheap ebay lights withe the gay halos. 2011 Chevy CamaroPioneer AVH-P1400AA Mayhem 12Audioque 3500D.1Knu 1/0 2000 Chevy Silverado 2 Sundown SA-15's 1 American Bass 200.1 Sky High 1/0 Stock Electrical.....
