Hey guys, i was at my friends shop and i was talking to him about HID's and how i couldn't put them on my car and then he introduced me to these headlights. They have a projector, and he said i can pop the bulb out and put HID's in it. What do you guys think about these? I put a LED in the engine bay and the interior lamp in between the seats. I have the Sylvania headlamp on the left and the projector on the right.

Here is Acura TL Bi-xenon projector output on my 914.
Click link--> 914 TL projectors This video is not the best as you can't see the real world driving improvement, however you get the picture. My 914 came with no headlights, so these were a "fill in" while I figure out what to do as a final solution. Matt |

I removed mine to install custom headlamps. I'll have to bring it by so you can see it.  |

You have given me some great inspiration to start some new projects. I am going to try those Nissan "drop in" lights and retrofit my projectors in one of the holes. |

I think I'm going to try the oven trick with my truck. I need new projectors. The ones in there now are crappy chinese optics. How much did you pay for the ones on your 914? where did you get them? |
