Mikesmith0890 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 That ebay housing is GARBAGE fyi. I've gone through plenty of different sets of 4x6 housings on my Camaro, trying to find what would work best. By far the Hella E-Codes stood out above all the rest. The beam pattern was much much better, and had a much sharper cutoff. Also weren't as glaring or blinding as the other "cheapo" housings. With that said, the BEST method for using HIDs in a sealed beam housing is to retrofit a set, by modifying them to accept projector lenses and have the cutoff, although cutoff portion is not necessary. Buying a set of 4x6s that are Pre-Retrofitted, is not cheap. And doing it yourself, while it can be done, and it's not terribly hard, it takes patience. Just my 2 cents from my personal experience.

somerandomguy Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 My opinion..Get a different car. Or don't mess around with HIDs unless you are willing to do a retrofit. The "projectors" that have been linked, especially the first one.. are COMPLETE shit. You will not be happy if you buy one of them. The first one, I had that for my cherokee. I have vids (and maybe pics) that I will upload to show you now that I got my internet back. give me a day or two.. Also, if you're going to buy the first one don't buy from that website, you can get the projectors for like $30 and then hids for like $40 if you just want low beam.
