I think the style is the main thing, they are also supposively "projectors" which have improved light distribution function... I just liked them, plus I had a lamp out

ehh, at least they didnt cost much. when you get them in you'll be suprised... they arent a projector, its a piece of glass suspended with a piece of metal to hold it into place. they do look pretty cool, but dont help visibility a bit. good candidate to put hid's in though 
i bought the same ones when i had a 1992 240sx just for ***** and giggles. regular bulbs get hot enough, they will crack the glass though!

Omg did they suck, I had to drive to autozone at night and buy new stuck bulbs they focused the light so shitty. I tried with my Hids and regular h4 bulbs I had laying around and while they looked cool I was scared to drive home from where I was.

Yea , I am actually just going to order up some universal projectors and going to fit them into thoose housings.
But for what they are they are worthless. I though I would just be blinding ppl , but be able to see , They didnt blind anyone but there was no focus what so ever

I have the same style minus the black inner reflector in my car and I have been debating for months to take them out and go back to stock. They are just horrible. But then so are stock, so...

i bought the chrome version of these, and put hid's in them when i installed them.
seems like the "projector" does nothing but get in the way and block some of the light. atleast it makes the hid's seem not as blinding compared to regular reflector housing, but im sure theres a good diff. in light output

yeah, it that was a real projector ( halogen for all I care) I would be all over these. But they're just some bowl shaped glass. Worthless.
Maybe some retrofitting would be good.
Hella 90mm projectors are the cheapest alternative to actual HID projectors.

Yeah, especially w/ 10k hids, the pitch black roads just absorb the damn light.
That's why the 4300Kelvin rating is the most usable light. 3000k Yellow lights are best for fog.

I've been wanting to see some pics of the light beams on these. I know they look cheap, but I figured they might have a decent light output.
Please get some daytime pics of the headlights up, lights off, and then headlights on. Thanks

Subscribing, I want to see how these work out.
Glad they were cheap though (other than shipping), I don't think you will be happy with the results
Seller sounds like a real winner too http://feedback.ebay.com/ebaymotors/...ems=200&page=1
