Why did you choose to make the projector the high beam?

 

You can choose non projector if prefer. I did this just cuz it looks better, but as a highbeam I'm sure none projector is better to warn people.

 

The design dictates that. You always want to use the outermost light as the low beams so the light spreads out the best. So you are stuck with using the rectangular shaped light for the lows. Unfortunately this means the lows will be the halogen or HID bulb design. I'd say never use the HID setup as it will just splash light all over the place and blind oncoming drivers. You can see this in the pics. No way around it with the reflector based setup.

As for the projector high beam, I would agree, just get a non-projector setup for this and you are good to go. Cutoff on a high beam isn't needed.

 

So are you saying the lights that use the projector toward middle of car as the low and rectangular shape light as the high should not be used?

 

You have it backward I believe. The rectangular lights are the low beams or as he calls it, the driving lights. The projectors are the high beams.

So what I am saying is there is no reason to have a projector beam for the highs as you don't want a cutoff on them. That would be for the lows so you don't blind the oncoming traffic.

You might think about swapping the two lights and using the projectors for the lows and then the rectangular for the highs but that has problems. The rectangular lights he has selected are low beam only lights and the projectors are for high beams. You'd have to get the rectangular ones for high beams if they make them and then a set of projectors for the low beams versus the highs that come with the kit.

If you could do that then you are left with the issue of the lights being positioned wrong as the projectors need to be on the outside and the new high rectangular ones being on the inside. That won't work so you are back to my previous post. Use the rectangular ones as the low beams and then get non projector units for the highs.

 

Sorry, I didn't make my previous post very clear. I was thinking about buying the housing and using my own lights. Using the projector as the low and reflector light as the high. You're saying the position of the lights is more important and low beam should not be placed on the inside?

 

I saw the post about using the outer most light as low beam so the light spreads out....I guess I'm trying to figure out how important/much better it is moving the low lights over few inches

 

Yes, understand this. And yes, the low beam should not be placed on the inside.

The low beams are located on all OEM cars (that place low and high beams horizontally) on the outermost of the car. It's not only the law but from a practical sense, gives the best light beam pattern. I know looks are important, but headlights are for safety too so you should also place the lows on the outside. You will end up with the best result versus having something that just looks cool. And don't get me wrong, I love the looks of this kit, I just want better light output than will be possible with the design due to the limitations of the options for the rectangular low beams.

So, you are back to the same issue, having a rectangular reflector light for the low beams and then using the inner projector style light for the highs. So, since it is for the high beams, there is no need for cutoff. But there are some good projector style high beam units at a good price, like this one from Hella:

Hella 60mm Projector Headlamp Module - RallyLights.com

That would work great for the highs and then you could use the rectangular Hella driving light supplied with the kit for the low beams. I have not seen that beam pattern in person, but if they can give the equivalent of a 135W light output, it might be pretty good. Most likely an improvement over stock but not to the level of a more modern projector halogen or HID system.

Net result? Use the Hella driving lights supplied with the kit for the low beams and then the Hella units I linked for the highs. That should maximize the light output and beam patterns for the kit. And if you really want stellar lighting, go with another kit that would allow better options (like a projector style HID light) for the low beams. And no, don't use the inner lights for the lows.

 

would the low beam rectangle side be able to fit another small projector like the high beams? I'm guessing you might have to change it up a little bit, but would running 2 dual small projectors be possible?

 

You could, but the top part light housing is cut to retanguler shape. You would have to find a projector is 50MM size. At that small size, light source is very bad.

 

Here is a 50mm unit that has nice light output:

I use the HID version for my low beams and it is fantastic. It would be cool if it could be retrofitted inside the rectangular light like SakeBomb does.

 

Thanks David. If anyone interest just buying the kit without lights, can be order here:

7 color LED interchangeable parking light inside the driving light

 

can you post some close up pics with the lens installed. i would like a better look of the fitment and edges

 

I like the style of these headlights and the R-Magic ones better than the Hot Water Labs! The Hot Water Labs headlights has the high beam as the rectangular outside lights though. The low beam is the projector it seems, which is on the inside.

 

I believe the HWL lights use the rectangular light for low beam.

 

unless there was a different way to hooking it up my HWL lights came with the low beams as the projector which is the inside light. the high beams were the rectangular outside lights.

i like the rectangular outside lights to be on so i drive with my high beams on. im getting rid of them though. i recently got my r magic ones and the covers are being painted right now

 

Easy way is just flip the wire if you are not running any HID.

I've looked at my buddy's HWL lights, the projector is like pointing to the ground, not sure how good the light output is if that's the low beam.

 

Best use rectangular as driving light, cuz gives more wider angle

 

Fitment: Dead on

 

Do you have pics with the lenses installed?

Thanks!

 

Here it is. On top of the lenses there is a clear protect film on it.
