I'm on my phone, otherwise i'd look it up myself, but does someone wanna link a how to for those s15 head lights? :D
 
Stick with the oem housings and retrofit them with hid projectors.

I just did that with the morimoto mini h1 kit and it's super easy, just takes a little time, but you get that oem look with a good cutoff and they are bi-xenon. Here is a pic of the cutoff to give you an idea:

I'll take a better pic in the next couple days after I get them fully adjusted, just having a little problem with the stock horizontal adjustment screw at the moment.

thats actually really good bro. Mine pale in comparison!
 
I really like the look of the Ebay projector headlights, but I wish there was a way to make the light output better. It really is hit or miss with Ebay products. Some say they have good light output and cutoff, others say its like driving by candlelight. What I'd like to do is find some glass projectors that fit in there from an OEM car, then color match the housings to my car, and finally do an LED strip on the bottom of the housing. I think it would look great.

m1nd64m3 Looks really promising. Waiting to see if he can get another shot and calibrated!!
 
Actually got the horizontal adjusted, but after driving I realized I have them aiming too low, so tomorrow night I will find a big wall and get them dialed in properly. I got some pics of the housing but they look like shit because they are so dirty that the flash from the camera reflects off them and they look gross. I'll take some pics tomorrow in the day light to show the housings.

But these headlights are just to hold me over till it gets warmer because then I'll install the 2gb talon front bumper, 2ga talon skirts, 2gb talon hatch/spoiler, and hopefully a 2gb talon rear bumper if I can find one. Then I'll put these in the 2ga headlights and probably add a led strip in the housing, or integrate a set of led day time running lights into the bumper.
 
I really LOVE my headlights...they are ebay specials from like the early 2000's.


Ive had people who dont know much about DSMs ask if they are OEM...They arent flashly, they look great...they just need a projector lense retro fit-they suck. LOL


sorry, my car is flithy (-_-)

I had ebays black housing halos and they were sweet but yeah the output was weak. I suggest that if you get Ebay halos to just get a non-Ebay hid kit to use with it.
 
i like the gap there...and Gofer pointed out it dropped coolant temps like 6 or 7 degrees, or something. LOL
 
Yukiz and 95talongirl, are these the same headlights that you have on your car? How is the light output on them?

That looks really nice! IMO.
the lighting output though doesnt look to great

Thank you. Lighting does suck but I got bright fog lights and 8k hid's. The projectors suck so I might take apart the light and replace it with another style projector.
