You talking about projectors headlights you buy off of ebay?

'Cause when you retrofit, you're putting in projectors...

Regular headlamps with hids are fine, but if you have the money do retrofits, or do retrofits by yourself.

Did I really just read this?

Only bulbs with just projectors = a ton of glare, and a shitty cut off line. If you want it to look clean, you'll do a retrofit with projectors.

HID with a retrofit = cutoff line and no scatter

HID pnp kit into halogen bulb housing = scatter and most of the time..no cutoff

Only bulbs = not HID.

Do some of you not understand that retrofitting means putting in projectors? :dunno:

And talking about the horrendous light output that the car is going to have is retarded? Even my stock projectors have a sharp cut off, with HIDs. For basic halogen housings you might as well go with some sylvania silverstars, or something of that nature.
