    Projector winter project

    I've located a set of 98-00 projector headlights to meet my needs. I can always convert my H4 50W HID unit to H7 bulbs and simply plug and play or I can retrofit some real projectors in place of the halogen projectors. Another option is to just locate an H4 projector housing(very impossible atm) or H7 projector housing, combined with real projector lenses to retrofit into my current black housing headlights. Or should I just leave it be?

    Imagine the projector units with the black corners. I'll be using yellow bulbs in the inner high beams. :D

    Thanks a lot guys. I won't be getting the projector lights. I'll be on the look out for a good deal on OEM projectors for a retrofit into my black single beam headlights instead. :D

    Anyone know what size bulbs those projector lights take? I got a response from the distributor saying they are H4, but that seems like a lie since there are two lenses per headlight. H4 is dual beam...

    Why H7? HID Projectors have D2S stockets. AFAIK, D2S is the brightest HID bulb.

    Those aftermarket projectors headlights were H7. I was planning to cut TSX projectors in half and use the top portion epoxied to the lower H7 half.
