Don't buy projector headlights..

Pokageek · Dec 5, 2006

Just FYI on my experience. The fitment is terrible, the lights leak, they are impossible to aim, especially b/c they are all one piece. And I have found that the plastics BREAK very easily. The lights were $200 but they are junk. The ones I bought have a part # of FD94MT-14510PJX

The ones with one halo?

I have those and they look good, but they are crap.

I love how they look at night though. Thats the main reason I havent just bought some smoked lights.

Yep the look really cool man. I am almost sorry to report my experience on this one.

I was debating buying projectors over regular clear headlights for a good while, then thanks to :SNSign: I finally decided there were too many disadvantages to getting projectors and went with clears. If I'd ever reconsider, I'd get the ones similar to the APC ones (never thought I'd say that), which are seperate headlights and corners, like 95riosnake has. They look sweet.

Ill more than likely get the black ones like that next.

Me too.
I love the look of the projectors myself but after reading Eric's thoughts about them (read: their installation), I decided against it.

Thanks for the review Pokageek.

Once I get gears, drag radials, and new seats, smoked headlights and fogs will be next. The projectors Ihave are lookign bad on the inside of the lens already after like 5 months.

Never would, Im not into domestic rice

xkuntrycowboyx · Dec 5, 2006

mine were junk too! i thought i just got the bad pair... i had to glue the plastic and trim some to get them even in right... and i still have to take them back out and put a nut on the bottom one so the dims don't aim 1foot in front of my car

i like the look but they are fo sho JUNK!!!

95strokerPSU · Dec 6, 2006

I have no problems with mine. But I've come to the point where I don't like the look of them anymore. I think I'll be getting the smoke lights from blueovalindustries.com. I just wish they made a one piece design.

Pokageek · Dec 6, 2006

The look is not rice unless you think that the new vette, gto or z28 or even 2001-2003 stang headlights are rice. But we'll adjust our definition to cover those cars now.

My friend had them on his 97 GT and I thought they looked good, but it was impossible to see anything at night once they were finally aimed correctly. I think the only way I'd get any is if I were planning to cut them up and put HID projectors in the shell.

The Green GT · Dec 6, 2006

Mine aim fine. You have to aim them kinda high though.

What I dont understant iy they couldnt come up with a better way to hold the bulbs in. Thats pretty much the reason mine look like crap on the inside.
