Ah ok that makes sense then. It more or less is consolidating the light beam for essentially better light shine...Sweet looks like I will pick up some Projectors (hopefully decnet ones) soon then.

Try walking like that for a few weeks and see if your shoes wear funny! (hint: they will.)

but most stock projectors use h3 or h4.

to the OP, how are your cutoffs with your set of these preojectors? I have the same ones just they are black. I opened mine up too because my lenses were very very dirty, I think now that they are clean it should make a huge difference. But since I have them open, I always noticed my driver side cutoff was pretty sharp, but my passenger side cutoff was not. Did you notice the same thing with yours by any chance?

Projectors do just that. They project light. Thus why HIDs would be better suited in projectors. Normal halogen bulbs are like a standard house light bulb; light just shines out from all angles, only our headlight housings have caps, shrouds and mirrored background to help direct the light.
Projectors take the light and "gather it", so to speak, and "project" it through a much finer lense, and then you start getting into all the mumbo-jumbo or what is the projector light.
HIDs are ok on stock housings. But they'd be even better through projectors.

I hadn't noticed any change in the light output when I took mine apart.

Ebay does randomly sell them as well. Seems like they've been easier to get lately.

While they are definitely better than the stock headlight configuration, the reason I'm doing this mod is because of my level of dissatisfaction with the performance of the halogen projector assembly in these headlights.
