Default How is look HID without Projector

Hello Dear Friends.

I hate my headlights... They look so old and unclear&dirty. It does not even match my clear corners as well.

I need some B5 pics with HID without prejector lights. I know you guys will not recommended to do it without prejector lights, but I have my blue look stupid lights which does not bright enough to see anything at night. [:@]

I dont want to spend money on prejector headlights now, but I do want to spend money on HID, maybe later on I can buy projector headlights.

If any of you use hid without projector please post a pic, so I can have some ideas how is it going to look like.

Sorry for long and boring post...

i know you just said that you dont want projectors but you want HIDs but if you bought the projectors it will change the look (obvisouly) and the light output.

I think this is the post that you are talking, but as you see it is not what I try to say. I am talking about real HIDs, not he fake bulbs. I already fake bulbs that I am not happy with. b/c of that I want to go with real HID to have better brightness. b/c cheap bulbs have big vision problems wet nights...

If you are talking about different post, so let me know please

Thanks

thats my post u were talking about. Your are right, my lights are not real HID's, just look alikes. HID's, however, are not easy or cheap to install. For the true HID system, you are going to spend $300-$400 plus instalation. And you proably will need instalation since the entire headlight system needs to be replaced.

Go with the projectors and throw in some 5K or 6K halogen bulbs and that in its self will make a world of difference. Having the projectors will illuminate more a certain area and give you a much better visual when driving at night. It is still hard to believe that people can still drive with the regular defraction headlights with 3300 K sulfur bulbs. You can't see anything at night, and kiss your vision goodbye in the rain. Go with the projectors with clear corners.
