Default Another projector thread. Sorry...

Ok, I know this has been beaten to death but I think I went search retarded because I cant find any of what I am looking for.

My stepfather bumped into my car and now one of my nice, clean, whistlered headlights is a little cracked up on the inner painted part of the headlight. I don't really know I want to go the whistler headlight route again even though I did like the look so I am entertaining projectors. Problem is, I absolutely despise halos and I don't have the time to put into making my own. I remember a while back a member modified a set of ebay projectors and pulled out the halos and did a few other things that set the lights off, but can't for the life of me find the thread.

Also, I know everyone says sonar's are best, but how about eagle eyes? Are they really crappy? Reason I ask is, sonar's seem to have a gigantic halo on them. Thanks

Did you look in the Lighting FAQ?

Because, like the famous pasta sauce "it's in there".

ClownVomit's setup using ebay projector housings with the projectors replaced with Valeo D2S HID projectors from a B5 A4/S4 Audi:

Also, something else to explore is trying to install the Morimoto Mini H1 HID projectors into stock housings.

6LE is considering selling Whistler-Style headlights and some people are asking for a projector version.
