There is nothing like a good hid projector and until I had a couple of vehicles modded I didn't have a clue the differences in output from different projectors
My wife drives a 2007 750i and at the time I was driving a 2010 accord, I was always commenting on how much better I could see the road when driving her car vs. mine at night, a few Internet searches turned up the retrofit source and hid planet
On to the projects, I googled what was best and came up with Honda s2000 projectors as the very best low beam projectors so $150 on a local Craigslist ad and I had them ready to go, called TRS and asked about the best way to go and got the Phillips 4300k bulbs, their morimoto 35w ballasts, some shrouds, wiring harnesses and called an installer they recommended near to me, a couple three days later it was done
WOW! They have blinding light!, incredible output!, now after getting out of my car at night and into my wife's car it's like her headlights are candle powered, no comparison
I was so impressed that I converted my 2008 super duty ford pick up, could not use the s2000 projectors though as it does not have separate high and low beams so I opted for the fx-r bi-xenon, same bulbs, ballast and everything else but the output is a lot less than on my accord
There is a dramatic difference in output from different projectors
Getting ready to do the same s2000 projector mod to my passat soon
