Default Projector ? before I buy

I have a 2000 bB and want to fit some updated headlights. I want these or similar
projectors. My ? is, since my headlights utilize 1 bulb for hi/low, will these fit with
no mods? I see the 2 lights go to one connector, that piece should plug into the oem
plug? Also, should I get the black housing, which I like, or would the chrome/silver
housing look better? Last ?, in the last pic it shows my led's on, they are bright. Do
the projectors have a place where I can fit these, or will I lose the function of these,
or will the halo act as parking lights?







I don't know why my bB came with a black grille, but I really want to get it color
matched. So I may first get the proctors and then decide if I should color match
the grille.[/img]

The halos can act as parking lights if you wire them that way. Im sure you can fit the LEDs in the sonars.

They should just plug up and be fine, and I would go with the black housing.

I like the black grill, and a lot of people actually buy the black to replace the color matched because it looks better.

One word of warning is that those projectors tend to fog up when bought from ebay.

is there anything I can do, perhaps add a ton of sealant around the edges? Oh, which way are the lights angled, since I drive on the left side of the road.
Every bB I see here has color matcehd grilles, so makes me wonder if the previous owner intentionally changed it. I like how the white bB's have white grilles, looks clean.

I have these projectors and they do not fog if you remove the vent caps from the back of the housing there are two on each assembly. I wired the halos to work with my parking lights i just spliced the wires and yes they are plug and play if the bB is the same bulb as the xB. I bought the black ones because i feel they look cleaner and there are no reflections from the halos.

Thought i would chime in on what you asked... yes they can fog up just a matter fo sealing them right, and they are set up for USA Driving withc i know is difrent from Japan driving.. so i think they are angled the other way so you would be flashing every one... you can brobably fix this to.
