That's because all the projector beam replacement lights for Eclipses are cheap crap. In order to get any decent light out of them people have to retrofit thim with Pilot beams from Audis or BMWs along with Philips HID systems. The H3 foglight bulbs that the cheap beams come with are horrible. Four foglights don't cut it on foggy rainy nights. I could do better with a couple of Nokia cell phone screens taped to the front of my car.

I have Silverstars on the low beams and foglight beams on my Galant and I love them. They are not for people who want to "look" like they have they have HIDs. They just produce a true white light and look white instead of the dingy yellow everyone else has. They make a lower performing Cool Blue series for those that want that tinted look of which I have not tried. All those other tinted blue lights are cheap crap that produce less light then stock and are just rice IMO.

You guys best hope is that the JDM Lancer Cedia is produced with projectors and somebody starts importing them. They'll probably be high azz prices, like $900 a pair, but they will work. There are no JDM parts for Eclipses, so one day I will just have to get around to making my own.

 

JDM housing projuctors/HIDs usually run about $1000. but the issue is the the neam patern if for right-had-drive cars, so you will be blinding people.

i have seen people do retrofits on a RSX and they look great! the projuctors cost around 300 off ebay HIDs(XDs) usually cost $350. so the whole thing sould cost around 700 and lots of time.

 

Ummm, you can adjust the aim of headlights.

 

no. the aim really has nothing to do with it. you know how in usdm lights the beam is brighter on the left and dimmer on the right? well in JDM housings its the opposite, you cant just adjust that out. if im not mistaken that is

 

Hmm, interesting. Is this something to do with voltage or the seperator inside? Even still if it was that bad, couldn't one just swap the projectors, from one housing to the other?

 

im not exactly sure. i know alot of pople with JDM ITR HIDs and they have that problem. even people with just JDM housing with aftermarket HIDs.

the only way to switch around the projector is to heat the whole housing and take it apart. i dont think anyone wants to bake $1000 dollors in parts with the chance of ****ing it up

retrofits are the best way, when the JDM housings are hard to find

 

Ha ha, yeah no doubt. I'm not wanting to throw my $300 set of NOPI Asstastic Nakayamas, or Anzos or whatever Taiwan flavor of the week generic beams I have into the old Kenmore just yeat until I'm absolutlety sure I know what I'm doing. I just need to get to the salavge yards or buy a set of Pilots.

 

ebay! people steal them from BMWs and such and sell them...but baking the headlamps is not hard, im goint to color match my headlight housings, but the hard part is putting expensive **** into something it shouldnt be in
