RZT5 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 comments please!I'm torn, so thought i'd make a poll.I like how reflectors just go well with our boxy headlights and look right on our cars, but i like the way projectors look more in general and prefer their performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 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.

TBM Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Lol thanks for the compliments. The fit on the ABM's was just about perfect, no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZT5 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubthebub Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 anyone that has projectors typically always vote for projectors. I am -extremely- satisfied with mine, highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBM Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexford310 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 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'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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
