YES I SEARCHED.
Ok, I know that the S13 had 3 different types of headlights. Dual halogen, dual projector, and triple projector. Can someone show me pics of each type?
Here's a couple shots I found. I'm thinking the top pic is dual halogen and the bottom is triple projector (please correct me if I'm wrong)? Anyone have a pic of the dual projectors?

You are correct.
Duals look like the triples except only Dual projectors and a "normal" foglight.
Strange cus you coulda prolly found this out with a SEARCH... :P

I looked, and found plenty of info on the lights, but I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking AT. Thanks for the pic.
So the consensus seems to be that the dual halogens look better, but the projectors throw out better lighting, correct?

the projector lighting is somewhat suck. the non projector (dual halogen) lighting sucks even more if you only use the two outer lights, but when you hook up the two inner light to work the same time as the two outer, the lighting is way brighter than the projectors.

Kinda off topic but can you clear out the amber foglights? I think it would look better with three clear projectors.

i think i may be the only one on this board who likes the look of the triple projectors best.

LOL The duals would look better without the amber as well. I haven't bought mine yet, so I'm still decideing which I like best.

Ok, I'm assuming that how you do this is to replace the high beam bulbs in each headlight with a low beam one? And then wire each headlight to light both bulbs when you've got your low beams on? So your low beam lighting is brighter, but you lose high beams?

actually on the non projectors that was easy(at least on mine) cause mine came witht he outter light wired to be hi/lo then the inner light was to be a driving light which i wired into the 2 power wires off the headlight pop up wiring so they are on all the time my headlights are on..and yes nons look super nice, but light output sucks the big one when only the outers are on..i have mine aimed well and in the long time i've had em liek this only a few people flash me about all 4 being on..i've ridden behind and driven by a ton of cops and they don't pay em any mind.. one down side is all 4 lights being on pulls a ton of current(my fans do as well though)
on the duals or triples you just wire the hi beam into the low beam wiring i guess...
