Yes its H1.

Those Ebay projectors are hit-and-miss. Some are OK, others are crap.

That link is in the Lighting FAQ along with a link to installing this projector version:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...hting-faq.html

There is plenty more info there on other options and headlight upgrades.

Got the HIDs in, they are fairly bright. Not a huge difference. Probably because they are only 35w. But the headlights came out awesome!

Im different ya im different.

I'm sorry but 8000k is nowhere near white with a hint of blue, white with a hint of blue is 6000k, 8000k is blue.

Her car is actually bright teal metallic, it just looks blue because it's dark.

Her hood is a cowl, maybe 2"

I know this thread is dead but I'm bringing it back. Does anyone know of any of these lights with two circle halos instead of one circle and one oval? I think the oval looks kind of weird.

There are no cutoff shots, but I'm guessing the HIDs didn't make a difference because those projectors are crap and most of the light is scattering everywhere - blinding other drivers - instead of be directed down toward the road. Either that or it was a very crappy, cheap HID kit on ebay...

I do think in daylight they look better though, but I personally wouldn't have wired in the halos and that random middle LED.

Typically the projectors in most ebay housings are crap (especially if they take a H3 bulb).

However, I will reserve judgement until I see output shots showing the beam pattern.

Although, you could probably replace the projectors in those housings with a better OEM HID projector from another car (TSX, RL, RX330, etc) or an aftermarket HID projector like Morimoto.
