saw the above one at autojoy for $410.. was gonna get it but didnt get it yet..

need to do my research first..

do after market head lights have 3 bulbs or something??

and wat is HID ?? is that a totally different thing to da pic?

thanks

hid=high intensity discharge headlights... basically completely different than those... bmw's and such some with them


to properly put hids into those headlights, you'd need to change the projectors inside of them for some designed for hids

so would you know the difference if i change my stock headlights to the above headlights?

what are the noticable differences?

[jamchen]

no differences...
but if you put HID, you'll have the bright white lights like the euro lux...

[saxman]

not necessarily true... most of the aftermarket headlights use very low quality projectors, so the light output ends up being a lot less than your stock lights. Find out what bulb they use... if they use something like an H1, H7, etc, you should be ok... if they use an H3 bulb, stay away.

i changed my bulb to a white/blue bulb on my stock head lights..

do after market headlights use more than 1 bulb ?

[destrukshn]

yes.
they will use 2 bulbs per head.

[TypeRice]

the ones i saw has actually got 3 bulbs... and the side indicators on the head lights are on the side of the middle bulb ...
