Hi yalls.
Hey question, what is the best projector headlights out there that i can use .
I want to use my HID kit but i do not want to install in the factory housing.
I bought a pair of this website and the cut-off was horrible and drove it on the street for a few minutes and i could see alot of light going into the car infront of me it light up the guys head rest his head and the rearview mirror........i turn around came back home took them off and threw them in the garbage.......yeah thats all i need being stuck behind a cop car and being stop for having my high beams on thats ok .

Anybody can direct me that will be cool .

 

The Sonars are some of the best, easily purchased projectors. You may need to reseal them a bit to prevent internal fogging, but otherwise, they're great with HID.

Just keep in mind that projectors use a different bulb type (9006, instead of H4).

 

Sonars, is the cut off good on them?.
yes i know about the Bulbs, like the Bulbs i had to use for those garbage projectors were H-3 and 9005 for high's.
Cool ill look into it.....Really appreciate the help

 

i have a set of sonars on my tc... i do have the issue with fogging but now the outer layer of plastic is coming off like film... any help??

 

Get some Sonars... they look great and the cutoff is pretty good. There have been a few who have run into a bad batch (remounting the drivers side aiming), but the count was very low. Reseal them to prevent fogging, no doubt about that.

Pick up some automotive grade super thick clear vinyl to keep the plastic shell looking new. Commonly referred to as a clear-bra.

 

Wait a minute ............I have to buy the sonars and then bake them take them apart and reseal them so that they wont fog up ..........Ok and how much are this so call sonars? that you have to make them perfect your self instead of the place that makes them.

 

You just seal the parts that piece together. Don't take them apart. I have them and never sealed them. So far no issues. But I think they are giving you good advice. Phenoseal is good and not costly for sealing. Transparent.
Just go on ebay. Verify that they are sonars if not noted by the seller.

 

I believe these to be sonars. You might want to verify with seller.

You can see the little 'S' sticker behind the signal light hole on both of them.
'S' is for SONAR. Sometimes they come without the orange, already cleared.

If they do not have the orange reflector, then the sonars are from old new stock. Meaning the stock is old... but still new in the box.

I gotta say it MyBlackyXb... I stumble over your paragraphs quite a bit. The bold text doesn't help either.

If you want the best projector type headlights you can get for a first generation xB, then the Sonars are the way to go (perhaps the only way now). As with almost all aftermarket headlights (doesn't matter who the manufacturer is), you will need to bake and reseal them so they will not fog up. The only time I have not had to reseal the housing on a set of headlights was when I purchased a set of DEPO headlights for one of my other cars... just so happened that DEPO made all of the OEM lights for that particular car.

 

Sonars hands down...

with HIDS...


Cutoff

 

Why do you have to bake them in order to seal them?

I got mine without the orange about 2 years ago.

 

Hey guys, my buddy wanted to try out his lights since he hasn't try to power them on.......anyway.....he pulled out his stock h4 out of the housing and replaced it with the HID and then hooked up the ballast and all then he turn the lights on.........it worked nice and birght but after about a minute the housing started to get foggy inside and we got close to see and it was like a mist of smoke.........he turn them off and pulled the bulbs out the housing and there was alot of this smokey coming out..............question is......is that normal or what in the world was that all about? are they no good?.......did anybody even encounter this before?

 

Baking them will reactivate the glue that is used around the edge of the seal. You don't have to bake them, but the reseal that way has been the most effective.

 

No it isn't normal for this to happen. There's a chance the bulbs had some type of contamination on them and therefore started smoking. Even barely touching the bulb with your fingers can cause this to happen due to the oils on your skin. This is true for both HIDs and halogen bulbs though.

Either that or the HID gods have frowned upon your friend for attempting to put HIDs in the stock reflective housing. It's all about the smite! I'm betting on the HID gods being angry rather than some scientific mumbo jumbo though.

 

Funny i kind of said the same thing to him

 

Sonar goes out of the way to mention that HID's should not be installed in them.
I have even read it on this site.
Just a technicality?

 

Its just like warning labels on pain killers "do not take with alcohol, affects will become more awesome" or however its worded...

We probably wouldnt be having this talk if I had paid attention to warning labels my whole life... brb, needing to get stitches

 

I bought some cool looking sonars a year ago and they're still sitting in my home office Anyone know someone around Seattle that can install these things?

 

Installing Sonars are super easy. Drop the front bumpercover, unbolt 4 bolts for each light (or is it three) and reassemble. To install a set of headlights, it only takes me about 15 mins. The part that takes the longest on sonars for me was the aiming.

 

4, unless your talking about my car and then it imvolves cutting zipties
