Default projector headlights from ebay...

I just got an email from vertex racing and they said it wil take extra week or so to ship...-_- well... kind of relief since I have final exams for school for this week and next week so I don't have to worry about them for now.... because i'm probably gonna want to install them right away and not going to study...LOLOLOL

hmm.. and they said in the email that those set of pair is one of the first after market headlights to support HIDs.. (I guess that's true since they are the first ones to make projector headlights....) and if I pay $250 extra they will add HIDs for me with the head lights...(hmmm...i think it's not that bad price at all..) well... i have'em already so doesn't matter tho...

people kept on taking about the cutoffs but does it really matter?? i mean.... getting projector headlights means that you're probably going to put HIDs on them and whether you have perfect cutoff like some retros or not, you're going to blind cars front of you anyways isn't it...? whenever there's BMWs or such cars with HIDs are behind me, they still blind me even if they have perfect "stock adjusted" cutoffs.
i have hids with stock reflectors and i blind the car front of me all the time and cars front of me moves out of my way... and that's one thing I like about the HIDs..LOLOLOL
anyone with good answer??

and i bought this after market foglights to put on the little scoop next to bottom grill
but I donno how i'm going to mount them there.... I probably have to drill somewhere but I don't want to drill the front bumper though....
anyone with good ideas?? Thanks!! Oh they are Hella Optilux 1150 by the way... and it's a yellow bulb... yes lense is blue tho... hahah it matches the lense color of headlights..LOL well I bought those fogs about week before i bought the headlights tho... i will probably install them when i recieve the headlights...but
mounting ideas PLEASE~~!!

THanks! heehee~

Default size

seller did not specify what size bulb they are but from looking at what they said....that
for extra $250 will add HIDs.... I would assume that it will be one of those plug and play HIDs (also the whole headlight is plug and play they said... for the most part other than taking off front bumper lol) using original harness so... I cautiously guess it will be 9006..... may be i'm wrong but i think it probably will be....
since for the most of the cases... plug & play meaning that original parts + add on parts..
i donno.... i will post the bulb size as soon as i get the headlights... if no one bought before me don't have one...

it does make a difference with cut offs

just note that there are some drivers who drive with their HID and their high beams on -_-

also the lighting intensity at the cut off, usually the prism effect) isn't as strong. If aimed properly, the light shoudln't cause intense discomfort

The vertex projectors, however, will blind and cause alot of discomfort!
some people don't care about blinding others, but having a projector that can blind people is like driving around with high beams on. That can actually be dangerous to you as well. For example, let's say it is raining/snowing hard. Have you ever turned on the high beams and can't see very far? The precipitation reflects the lights right back into your eyes!(this is why fog lights are created for). So the projector does make a difference!
