dual projectors suck

as we all know dual projectors have terrible light output. i have hids and theyre still garbage. so im looking for opinions. i need more light so im trying to decide whether i should get bricks and hids or if i should retro fit tl projectors into dual projectors. i need new headlights either way cuz mine have broken tabs. opinions please? thanks zilvia

Bricks look better asthetically, but do not provide better light. Adding HID bulbs to halogen housings won't give you better light either. It may give you MORE light, but it won't give you BETTER light. Also, consider that you are using headlight housings that were designed for a RHD vehicle in a RHD country, while you are driving in a LHD country.

If you want better light, than a retrofit and beam corection is the only real option. Anything else is just a band-aid to the real issue. It's not fixing it, it's just making you feel better about it.

Look up a company Gladman Performance, he makes custom HID conversion kits that are Projectors and they also have halo ring around them. And the best part is that they can fit directly into stock housing...so you can flip them up and down whenever needed. I personally have them and love them! and they are fully adj. so you can place the light where needed! heres a link for the product im talking about 240SX S13 Bixenon HID Conversion Kit by GP FAB | Gladman Performance Fabrication check it out and let me know what you think!

well your lucky because they are cheaper now than when i bought them -_- but buying anything off ebay is always more expensive because they take a profit from the purchase. but i highly recommend buying them directly from his site. hes a good guy and responds to emails quick, and helps you out with any problems! and they also add a different look to your car that not that many people have. Im located in IN and im the only one in the state that i know of that has them. and anyone i run into says they love the look of them!
