Default projector headlights for XB on eBay

I just saw this set, don't know if this is old news.
This is the item number 7942690723
It would be nice if we could set up a group buy for those interested in getting them.

I LOVE THOSE! They were on sale @ XMODS.com. but that site is not longer... I really want them in the black housing. But I am not in the market for headlights, still saving for rims and springs.

Good Find

just something to keep in mind


they are use a h1 setup .. which is commonly used for FOG LIGHTS .. so dont expect the light output to be all that well

i had a set and sold em before i even installed em

build quality is def not top notch ... .. dont expect oem quality

though they do look nice

all the cheap aftermarket projector headlights use the h1 or h3 setup (both fog bulbs) ... its a cheap setup to manufacture.. problem is ... poor light output

those lights look like ____.. in real life i think they are like 60% LESS quality than oem..

i wouldn't rock them if someone PAID me to.
i dunno how well it shines, but expect fading, condensation
and even lots of scratches cuz the lenses are made outta ____ty material(in comparison to OEM stuff)

I think they look pretty good. I've seen them in person, and when you put a set of HID's in them. You got a hell of a nice setup.

That's the reason I want them. I alread have an HID set on my Xb and I would like to get the projectors and h4 bulbs adapted to work on them.
$200 is too much though, these will sell for a lot less in the near future, I hope.

They sell for much more now. Right around $350.

Default projectors

I have these on my Xb and I think they put out enough light. I changed the bulbs to Nokya's and that helped out alot. I've had them for about 4 months and had Zero problems with them. Check out my imagestation pics. Peace

That's not a good idea. Projectors always have a good cutoff, but that says nothing about the beam pattern. The worst combination of lighting is caused when you *think* you can see better, but in reality, the light output at a given distance is decreased by a large margin. If you're going to spend $300 on HID bulbs and ballasts and then another $300 on these headlights, you're still going to spend a LOT of money on something that isn't nearly as good as a true HID retrofit. For the $300 you spend on these projectors, you could get a pair of S2000 projectors. It might be more expensive, but if you're going to do something, I think you'd want to do it right. For example, I'd rather buy wheels with the right offset than get cheaper wheels and then spend extra money on shims and spacers just to make it clear your suspension.

If you really want them, $200 is actually pretty damned cheap because I've seen them for $320-350 in other places. They might be good for appearance, but then you have to decide whether it's better for your headlights to look good when you're looking AT your car or looking FROM your car.

And if you're still interested in buying these projectors, please PM me. Maybe we can help each other out.
