Camaro HID Projector Headlights
#63
I don't want to step on anyones toes, but I'd like to express my opinion a little. I think the pojectors are an awesome idea, and I'd like to have some. I don't however see the need to laugh at the people who put d2r type hid's in the stock housings. Mine look really good. They have a very sharp horizontal cutoff line and very little overflow if any. I spent a little time getting them adjusted correctly, and I never get brightlighted, so I don't think I'm blinding anyone. Some companies use cheaper bulbs and the light pattern looks terrible, I agree, but if done correctly with good bulbs, the outcome can be quite close to a projector for a lot less money. Not everyone can afford to spend 1k on headlights. I have tried hid's in some vehicles, and they just didn't do well, but the Camaro reflectors are designed pretty well.
I hope everything turns out ok, and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished products. I would really like to see what y'all come up with for the fog lights.

thats cool. im on the fence and the halo's just never did it for me, ive always loved HID's. im unsure how long they've been on the car, i was under the impression Jon bought them from you around the time you did the LED's. either way, we'll get up at a meet sometime and you can check em out.

Sorry guys took a little vacation. Ill post up the pics tonight. I am weary of selling these, I couldn't get a solid beam to where I was 100% happy with them. If I sell them they will be sold at cost, which is $300 and that is WITHOUT the HID's.

I'm interested in a final set with the bulbs in them that give off a good white color. Are you blacking out the housings for the next sets? Also, are you using NEW housings?
Could you also PM me about progress on the maglites?

It sounded like a good idea in theory but I dont care for it.... just looks really odd and breaks up the flow too much. If you could somehow make something that looks a little more OEM or blends in together better I would def be in.

I believe they're from some type of mercedes? Not exactly sure though..
Thanks for the input guys, I am doing a little different setup next time around. The only problem I ran into is that there is barely any room to fit projectors without having them actually inside the headlights. The metal piece that attaches the headlights to the car pretty much limits the amount of room you have for the projectors to stick out the back.
