h4 headlight replacement/conversion

Ok so I currently have the pos ebay projector style headlights and the lighting sucks even with hid's
What I am looking for is a housing that actually directs the light down to the road properly because the ones I have now do not project the light in any specific direction
Any first hand exp would be appriciated
If you leave a review or comment please be specific to brand, model, and if possible where you purchased them from

Please do not leave a comment stating that I need to adjust my headlights they don't direct the light in any one specific direction so adjusting them is of little gain

To do it right get your plastic ebay ones, open them up and put some projectors in there from TRS

Weird, I love mine. No issues, great output, half the price of the others.

What did you not like about them?

I say buy the Bosch H4 housings and put regular Sylvania bulbs in them. I Have those and Sylvanias brightest bulb(not the FakID blue junk) and my lighting is significantly more focused and not to mention safer for me and other drivers on the road than when I had HIDs. Its not all euro look but the line is pretty crisp and it does not blind oncoming drivers yet is brighter due to being focused and not just tossed everywhere. Plus it is less extra crap to go wrong, IDK if it was just shitty brands or what but bulbs were always burning out and I replaced three ballast in two years.

I run these with non-HID, Raybrig 4900K xenon bulbs- Lighting is AWESOME!!! Can't post a pic b/c I don't have access to my photo stash from work.

Mine is pretty much like the Hella vs OEM comparison part way down. Using the same bulbs and the housings are pretty much the same. There is also some info on a projector retro.
