I been looking around and I decided to give them a try. I just cant decide on which ones to go with. For sure I am buying black ones though.

Thanks!

I know, I like whistler or even stock chrome ones better but I want a crystal clear lense and I dont want to spend a crazy amount of money for GM headlights.

If I find some very low milege headlights I might just pick them up and whistler them.

The only reason why projector ones are attractive to me is because of the projector. I know its not the best and I can also retro fit some real projectors but I dont want to go thru all that mess.

I really hate it when people put HIDs in reflector housings. The glare is really irritating. As you can see in the one pic above with the car to the left of the camera, glare to oncoming traffic is very little, less than stock halogens in reflectors.

SparkyJJO,

I like your style! ever since I seen your picture on another thread.

Thanks. I've had both projector types shown in this thread so far (z95lt1 and mine) and I like the light output of my current set better. I do like the CCFL halos on the Eagle Eyes projectors that z95lt1 has, they are more visible. My Sonars just have LED halos and you can't really see them except when it is dusk/dark out. But if you don't plan on using the halos, that's a moot point.

There is that third type that got released recently but has the odd LED strip, "audi" wannabe style. I'm tempted to try those, since I busted up my driver side one and need new headlights (can't get just one, of course) and would like to see how they are. But I don't want to end up sinking the money into a possibly inferior projector, or have that led strip look really ugly even when disconnected. Maybe they could be opened up and the LED strip removed, but I don't know about spending the money to find out removing the LED strip looks worse or whatever... I kinda wish someone on here would buy them already so I could see how they look installed on a car

I like Whistlers more than projectors

Sonar projectors...




Yes, whistler headlights has a notch up for better appeal but can they do this?

I got the rings and LEDs hook up because of UK laws, needs to have some sort of light output other than your main headlight at night.

I'm really diggin' the style z95lt1 has. Can you please explain the difference in light output between those and yours?

The projectors in the Sonars that Sparky has are much better.

I kinda liked them a little better too, appearance wise. The CCFL halos are brighter, and I think on my current set the high beam reflector looks a little odd at some angles (isn't just round like the low beam projector is).

The Eagle Eyes he has (and I had previously) use H3 bulbs in their projectors. H3 really isn't well suited for a headlight, more of a fog light bulb. Using HIDs helps mitigate that some, but the beam was rather narrow.

The Sonars I have now use H1 which is better suited as a headlight bulb. HIDs make it that much better. The beam is much wider, and the cutoff is a little cleaner.

Both have good high beams though, didn't really see much of a difference between the two. They both use stock 9005 high beam bulbs.

I have the sonars on my silver camaro and I like the look of them, a lot better then just one halo. ^^And he probably has the auto-headlights disconnected.
