projectors POS part II
Got the lights in... they dont look as crappy as i would suspect, the 'projector' is glass they will be brighter like this as it comes with 100w bulbs 
so that is their trick i think.. well now for the test .. updates will follow ill use a real projector a stock euro h4 lens and these to show the difference.. hope to get to it today.

Well i did the test but left my camera in the shop! so pics will follow
Like i suspected .. these are bright .. but 100 w will do that.
The lens of the projector is a glass lens and has the same affect on the light pattern as my other two 'real' projectors' I have a maxima set and a BMW set i used for comparison, next to that a conventional set of h4 lenses
The only modification that has to be made is a metal plat that roughly runs like this:
............._____
________/
That blocs upper part of the lens to cut the light from seeding everywhere, this is what all 'real' projectors do have .. and it shows in the beam pattern.
I do have another worry, witch is the fact that the 'diamond' cut housing is plastic ... and 100 watts is allot .. so it would not surprise me if these units would melt, however i need to do some more testing.
HID in plastic is a def no go i would suspect.
I will cut a piece of soda can in the the above seen shape and will stick it in there for another test and post the results .. One thing we can state that without modification i'm very interested in what the upcoming traffic will think of you
So if with a small mod i can et half a decent beam pattern this might be a good cheap alternative.. but for real lighting use a real h4 lens! even the 'real' projectors don't give a nice cut pattern like real deal.
Also they would be great for driving lights ( elanore style) when you have a bumper less s30
So sorry for the hold up with the pics

HID bulbs actually produce a lot less heat than a regular incandescent bulb. A lot of people use hot glue and the like in thier projector swaps, and although i wouldn't recomend it, it seem to hold up to the heat.
I am interested to see pics of these headlights disassembled. These may be a better choice for a projector swap than the "angel eye" lights I used.
