Has anyone come across projectors for the RA yet? I have been reading up on making my own, i just don't have the time to work on them.


Oh yeah, and sorry if this question is a repost, but i didn't see anything when i did a search.

 

That's probably because there are none. Give things some time. The car is young and the following is small.

 

You would have to know someone in Japan.I have a friend who goes over there alot and am gonna ask him to bring me back some.

 

you can do urself a retrofit or have someone else do it for you like these two webpages (www.illusion-lighting.com or hidtech.com) or someone in your town that does retrofit. once i save up some funds, i will be doing a retrofit on my ralliart. until then, it's just on my dream list.

 

please excuse my stupidity...but what exactly are projectors?

 

Go to Mazda's site (good pics). All new Mazda have projector headlights.

 

Headlights. They improve Driving visibility.They are more focused.They kinda resemble Fog lamps like the ones on the Evo.Best Explination I can give.. (Not good at explaining things easily)

 

I had projectors on my eclipse and at night i couldnt see SH*T. Most of the projectors (for the exception of some "dual" projectors) use H3 bulbs which are obviously more focused than our 9007's. So Driving in the rain at night, forget about it. I will never go back to projectors for as long as I own my car. But hey, they look cool

 

did you have standerd halogen projectors or HID's?

 

I have projectors on my civic, the ones with the blue tint to them and they suck ***. When I'm driving in rain with the low beams on, I can hardly see a thing. Maybe its just because of the blue. I should have gotten the clear. I even have sylvania silverstar bulbs which are supposed to be bright as ****, and they still suck.

Good look tho, mine have the dual halo so thats all they got goin for em.

 

sorry to go but sylvania silverstars suck a$$ imo. Friend of mine has them on his civic and they are basically stock with a TINY tint of white to them. Overpriced and not worth it.

 

I have the silverstars as well, i love them. they are the best halogen bulbs i have ever used.

so what everyone with projectors so far is saying that they use halogen bulds and not HID's?

 

yeah man, no way I'm payin 500 bucks to have brighter headlights. I'll just wait to get an evo to have HID's.

Sorry for jackin the thread. Don't know much about RA's cuz all i care about is teh evo.

 

I am Getting HID's Brought over From Japan.Ilike I said I have a friend who goes over there alot and I WAS gonna get Projectors.But the JDM version of the RA has HID's which is what I asked him to bring back.I will let ya know when he comes back how they work out for me.HID's Definately help ya see wayy better than Projectors.Its just Projectors were supposed to be designed to be more Focused thus "Iproving: Driver visibility.Personally.Know I have driven with Projectors(Borrowed a friends car to see what it was like with Projectors),I will Definately get HID's.

 

why dosent some one do real projector retrofits!?

they have way better light dispersion then aftermarket projectors.
