Projector headlights
« on: April 30, 2014, 01:58:37 pm »
Hi Guys,

I know there was a thread recently on this,
I'm looking to purchase some shortly but would like recommendations from those that have purchased these previously.

I know eBay is full of them but which ones should I steer clear of and which ones should I be looking out for.

I'll be fitting them with a HID kit although this shouldn't make any difference!

Thanks.

Hi Kris,

I've scanned that thread and it seems no one has purchased any of the links in question, I'm looking to be recommended a set from someone that's purchased a pair previously.

I ended up buying them in the end, they were plug and play and I can't really give a review of how good they are when driving at night because I haven't driven at night yet but they look great in terms of looks

Here is a pic...

Yea they do look cool.

I'll be keeping an eye on all these projector threads, as I'm sure Munzz will!

Thanks for the pic Melvin084.

I purchased the Hella projector ones a couple of years ago. They are OEM quality but a pain to refit HID bulbs.

Hi Melvin,

Have you got a link for those, they look great.

Have you fitted HID's?

Hi Kris,

I've scanned that thread and it seems no one has purchased any of the links in question, I'm looking to be recommended a set from someone that's purchased a pair previously.

I purchased the black inner ones and they are at the post office waiting to be collected.

If you haven't bought them by the time I've fitted then ill pm you a review  :happy2:

I can't find the vendor I used- Markus Kneifel, I think his name is.
However it is this type from ebay.de.  Pricier than the non- Hella types. I'd ask if they can get RHD types, Markus got some from the manufacturer.

Look like I'm going to end up buying the Depo brand if I can manage to source some...

Hi,

Where would I find a set of the lights you purchased to buy online? Looks like I'm spoilt for choice!
