Your camera takes amazing pictures man....

 

haha al blurry and stuff. My 5MP oldschool deal...lol
Pics get blurry when I turn off the flash.

psst...its not the camera that takes goods pics...it's the lights



Thanks for the props guys.

 

vedddy vedddy nice my friend the projectors yall are getting for them 06+ h/l's are looking sick i have yet to see a set that grabs my eyes for my style but the projectors and hids are starting to grow on me ...just not the price.....that i see yall throwing at em....

 

Fantastic lights bro!

 

lookin sweeet. gotta ask, what you mean by adjusting the spacing of the bulb? you can adjust that inside the housing? i got aftermarket lights, not retrofits, and they don't look near as clean as yours.

 

very nice dog... i love the sharp cut off

 

Looks good for sure.

 

Actually, these projectors had a small area of foreground lighting that was absent. Adding a 1mm spacer(done by TRS) changes the output so there is more foreground lighting. Generally, spacing a bulb changes the cut-off color and width I believe???? But 1mm supposedly didn't make much of a diff in the other categories for this particular projector.
Bulb spacing could be either good or really bad, but we are getting way over most guys heads on this. Most won't know how to or even actually notice a difference generally unless it was pointed out. D2S projectors use a metal retaining clip so there is room to space the bulb out from the housing. Aftermarket housings have bulbs that align and lock into place which won't allow spacing.

As far as clarity, these have a Clear lens where as most OEM have a Fresnel lens that reduces specific cut-off and reduces color. it's a lens that has lines on it which is why most OEM HID cars have slightly blurred cut-offs and no real color.(It's for driver comfort if that's believable)Friggin old timers hate change and they run the market since HID's are more of a "luxury car" item, but are making their way down the cahin.

Aftermarket projectors are for Halogen light bulbs, so the bulb depth is diffferent, the lens itself is totally different and the cut-off shield is different as well. There isn't a way to get afterarket's as clean without alot of internal design work, which is why i went to HID projectors. Since the bulb depth is different and specific. Most all aftermarket projectors have a wider and brighter beam pattern using halogens rather than a PnP HID kit. Putting HID's in causes the light to be area specific and does not distribute the light evenly and destroys the cut-off. Now, there are OEM halogen projectors that do fairly well with HID swaps, but nothing aftermarket housings can come close to, it's been proven time and time again on HID forums.

Which is why i chose a retrofit option. It did cost an arm and a leg though...lol Ohh, and like a week and a half of frustration going in between school and the project.
I think it was well worth it


Weed, gotta wrap up all your projects man, get those light in before next year! After all, it's only around the corner and you can't see it because you don't have HID's.....lol

 

All of that did turn out really great! And the pics are from furture!

 

HALOGENS VS. PROJECTORS

Just wanted to show guys a comparison that I took.

97 Exploder with 9007 Silverstars up against a wall 20ft away with the camera zoomed in a tiny bit


Ram 4300k HID's up against a wall 20ft away no zoom



Exploder lights



Ram Lights (fogs were on which only causes a bright spot in the middle of the ground only. Fogs do not effect any lateral(side to side) lighting. Just observe that actual ouput of what you can see overall



here's looking to the right, now you can see the fence is all lit up and the tree is fully visible



Now look to the left and the "hidden" car and trailer is now visible



I put a marker on the ground so both vehicles were parked in the same spots. Again, the extra brightness on the ground in front of the Ram is due to the fogs which were only halogen at that time, but once again, they do not enhance side to side or further light output over the HID's.
