Projectors hands down ESP if you're running HID's. It looks much better and newer and you won't blind people like you do with the stockers. I'm very happy with mine (pic in avatar). Though you're considering a retro which might be even better.

well this is way easier than texts, lol

I just dont know if i want to afford a full out retro though :P maybe i should just get the ABM's like you got. how was the fit on them? some people say they dont fit onto the car well

and btw, every time i look at your sig i get jealous, your car looks so dent and scratch free

no problem, just keep the car lookin that good ;) dont park next to old ladies and stuff. I found this morning that someone did a slight hit and run on the back of my car :(

whats the inside of the ABM's look like? is the projector unit mounted directly to the housing, or are the bezel and projector mounted together? basically how is everything mounted together, lol

Rye, probably the best thing to do is retrofit HID projectors into the ABM's...I think that's what I eventually want to do...I just have to learn how to do it.

What are the differences between halogen and HID pojectors?

i've got retroed e46 bixenon's in my reflectors. huge difference between them and stock. i drive in my moms 240 wagon and i can barely see anything. retro or nothing.

I don't think it's fair to say retro or nothing. I've run HID's in stock housings and compared to stock, they were about 15 times brighter. I currently run HiD's in the projectors and they are much better than stock as well. Neither of these two setups are retro'd, even tho a retro is probably the best and most effective solution.

yeah, i guess i went a bit too far saying retro or nothing, but its still even better than having HID's in those ABM halogen projectors. also if you retro in bixenons, you'll have hid highbeams without having to have 4 ballasts. finally, when you compare stock reflectors with HID's with projectors in general its better and safer. at least 25% of the light from the xenon bulbs in reflector housings is shown over the horizontal plane. with projectors almost nothing is shown over the horizontal plane.

thats just the point i'm trying to make. sorry for the long explanation/ "all or nothing"ness
