how did you manage to get yours painted?... and how well does that lanse on the front work when all the bulbs are coated to block light from going that direction directly?? I have the normal diamond cut headlights with their shitty bulbs in them and they are not bright but the light has a good pattern. just got my HIDs from autodoodad from his GB and will be installing them this weekend. I will take before and after pictures for everyone.

the effect of the projectors is not the same as bmws and audis because those cars have a "half shield" behind the projector to give you that "half moon" shape... the projectors on ebay is like a huge spotlight shape and isnt as scattered.. had the hellas h4 conversions before and i thought that those scattered the beams like crazy... got these ones now i can actually adjust the headlight and know where the beam is going

There's blaring BRIGHT and there's BRIGHT with good light distribution.
I bought one some time ago and they were BAD. It's really bright but it's like a spot light. There's no cut off and blinds everything you point it at. Why do you think it $10? If you put in higher wattage bulbs , that makes it worse. People will be flashing their lights at you.
Get the Hella H4. I have the Raybrig. Even though the housing is clear (ribless), it has AMAZING lighting and a really sharp cutoff.
Headlamps are not all the same. In this case, you get what you pay for.

I have these and for the price they are ok.. they have nice cut off, wont blind oncoming traffic, for us por people they are ok.. I replaced the cheap blue bulbs with some good quality H4 yellow bulbs.

You have got to wonder about these when the shipping is from $36.99 (Sexindarex ebay lights) and the 311unitys find at $42 (Yeah right). Now mind you that is shipping to Canada but it smells like scam to me.

I am using the "Diamond cut" ones on Ebay.

The bulb included sucks amajor *** but the housings have lasted 2+years fine.

Just buy them and then get some Sylvania bulbs from Checker and you'll be set.

why not just get the sealed sylvanias from a local parts store - close, barely more expensive, and bright, and white if you want.
