So I bought some projectors...but the low beams suck ___...what is up with that? I didn't install my lights (the body shop did when they fixed everything, so they could line it all up) I am guessing they used the OE lights...is that my problem? all I know is that the low beams leave a lot to be desired...they are VERY dim...do I need to get HIDs? or is there another solution?? Any help would be appriciated!

 

the low beam on the projectors suck add some Luminic bulbs and you will have a new appeciation for your lights.

just change out the bulbs....
some sylvania superstars would make a huge improvement!!

if you do get Luminics, get the hyper whites!!

 

i second that!

yup silver stars or those will do fine

 

i personally think the ability to AIM the beam would be really helpful

 

i would not recommend luminics if you are trying to IMPROVE your visibility. I guarantee if you get them your output would be even dimmer. What size is the lowbeam on the projectors?

 

9006...9005 for the highs.

 

the problem is not in your bulb. problem lies in the desisn of the projector. basically it sucks. The tC has a 9006 for a lowbeam and its pretty bright. You can try taking a 9005 bulb and modifying it to fit in the 9006 place.

 

hmmm

 

Thats funny, cause as soon as I changed out my bulbs with some Silverstars everything was cool.

 

i changed the 9006's with some silverstars and did not see any noticable difference in brightness, just pure white light...

 

Mine increased considerably. I was actually getting to where I wouldnt drive at night.
But you don't have the projectors we are talking about either.

 

what kind of a bulb was in there to begin with? By that i mean what brand? Its just weird man cuz ive changed to silverstars in plently of vehicles and never really noticed to them to be brighter.

 

The bulbs that come with these projectors are actually dangerous to drive with. I have no idea what brand they are though.

 

oh damn. were they by any chance the blue tinted ones?

 

Spend the big bucks and get the PIAA super plasma GT-X bulbs. They are blisteringly bright, blue tint and just plug them in....no _ickin' around. Costs $150 for the headlight AND foglight bulbs delivered but worth every penny.
