Well I know the headlights That we have are glass cause they never fade away or look like they are peeling. But my friend has the one piece headlight and there black housed & look like they are peeling and going to fade. But i never thought about them being glass...

From what I know the 9091 one piece lights with chrome trim are glass and the 9293 one piece lights are plastic.

Retrofitting projectors for use with HID's you mean? Yes of course it helps a lot. Think of it this way you have a large machine gun and you shoot and it sprays everywhere, now get a stock or something to help control the fire and it goes more in the direction you want. Shoot again and you hit your target right in the head.

Basically you'll get more light where you want it, and it will be more powerful since the light is concentrated in that one area. Without blinding the oncoming driver.

Most people retrofit 1st generation TSX projectors in our headlights.
Thanks

There you go, hope it helps.

you your saying align them first without the glass then adjust them the best you can with the glass so you can get as much light as you can it the right spot....any thing else im missing.....

close. But I believe the OP was asking if the glass outer lens makes a difference compared to the plastic on one piecers. The answer is no, although it depends on if the glass is pitted badly or the plastic is faded. Both can be remedied.

i really appericate the info i went on hidplanet and they say it messes the retrofit up badly when you use glass lenses.....

Well there is quite a few of the guys here that done the retrofit with glass i'm sure if they had a complaint it would have been posted and ppl won't be forwarding others to the retrofit thread. So i'm sure you will be fine.

the only time it would mess it up is if the glass was pitted. Get your info from Theretrofitsource.com

Yes it does.. I know, I retrofitted my jdm 2 piece lights (which are glass) perfectly clear glass.. The glass lense effected the cutoff soooo much. From my experience, in general, the guys on that hidplanet know what they are talking about

Still wondering how the bulbs hold in the back... :S
