Night driving - EK headlights x(

Thanks precious... ;)

has anyone here done a projector conversion ?
better or worse .. ?

I met someone at the Vic mini-meet last year who had projectors in their EK. Can't remeber where they got them from but said that the resistors needed changing and all sorts of shit cos they blow quite easily and give less light. :shock:

I saw these at Hypermarket today for $29.95 a pair. Are they really not as bright as stock? Does anyone have pictures of before and after of what these look like? Considering getting them.

The best bulbs I've used are the Philips X-Treme Power +80% from http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/. £ 21.27 for H4 including delivery from UK.
Much brighter than stock. Same colour as stock bulbs. If u want blue light/ HID effect these are not for you. If u want bright get these.

just adding to this, as i have a little trouble seeing during the night aswell, but does anybody find it hard to see during slightly wet conditions because of the reflection off the road? my lights seem to sorta disappear when it comes to conditions like that. any recommendations that don't seem to disappear as much?

Well I guess you can do one of two things. One is to get a set of globes that have a higher output rating than stock e.g. 4300k+ or you can try and adjust the headlight spread and height angle.

I had the same problem with poor light visibility until I went and adjusted the headlights' horizontal and vertical beam angles. Now it's all fine.

Hope this helps you out!

Is this with the stock yellowy bulbs or blue/white ones?

Really wonder if these are worth it:

Higher temp bulbs i.e 4300K+ will reflect more in wet conditions and reduce visibility. Stick to 4300K (yellow or standard temp), higher temp bulbs look brighter, but put out less usable light.
Those who have 8000k bulbs are crazy...
