    To HID or not to HID...that's the question

    I see a lot of kits on Ebay for ~$300, but they are basically just ballasts and bulbs...probably colored bulbs at that, to make matters worse. I think its possible to piece together a legit projector kit for <$400, but I live in NYC, so accidents and theives are a problem.

    So basically I'm starting to consider some halogen alternatives. I've heard nothing but terrible, terrible things about projectors, so I guess that's out of the question...although the things I'm seeing on Ebay seem to be of good quality material-wise. So basically the only option left is a retrofitted halogen projector from either an OEM headlight or a small enough for or driving light. Sorry for the long ass rant...but basically my question is are there any OEM halogen projector bulbs or aftermarket fog light/driving light kits that would fit in the headlight that would have a good beam pattern and nice color? I want an HID-type beam pattern from halogen...is that impossible? And are projectors really, truly that bad?

    ehh. you could get some H7 halogen projectors.. REALLY hard to come across.... now i have never heard of a True oem retro for under 550 dollars.. the average oem retro runs about 700-1,000 for a quality retro with all quality parts.. with a halogen project. if you you it yourself it will cost you prolly 200-300 for the projectors and new bulbs.. but then youd be alright i guess.

      xplode, correct me if I'm wrong but I think the closest he can get to what he wants with halogen are the H7 Valeos.
