Black Projector Headlights Question

[ruimond]

These headlights have been around for awhile and i know a few threads have been covered about it. I was thinking of buying them, i know some people have said the light output was bad and some say its abit better then stock.

Anyway i was told by a fellow member that because we have to use the old indicator socket from the Original Assembly that the Australian sockets are of a different size of that of the ones being sold, which i think are mainly from Taiwan or something. As he has to use another method to hold his in place.

The question is to the people who own these lights, have you had any issues getting the indicator socket/bulb to go into place without having to glue or stick it to hold it there.

And generally is there a specific seller people have been buying from? I've noticed some stores sell slightly different looking ones sometimes.

Thank you in advance. I know some people don't like the idea of buying these lights. Haha.

the turn signal socket has 3 tabs in some places and 4 tabs in others. I can post more when I'm at my shop on Tuesday and can look at my stock sockets.

Thanks for the info Garm. I think what someone i was talking to was saying was the actually the bulb fitting into the hole thing on the top where the bulb goes in.

I think your talking about the actual plug that goes into the power socket thing.

Sorry i think i explained it incorrectly before.

Haha Ray, they would be good. But i'm also not keen on opening up my own headlight housing and doing my own DIY. Haha. Would be good to paint the inside black.

Anyway yeh maybe i needa get a different bulb.

This is what i was told and i quote:

What i mean. Everything fits well except the turning signal bulbs.

The socket where you insert the turning signal bulbs are different. I tried for about 1 hour to insert the turning bulbs into the headlights, doesnt fit. So you have to somehow glue them down in the socket. I used blutack....

Got ya , simple answer , some use a 1156 bulb and some use a 1157 bulb
the differance is the 2 pins on the side of the bulb .
if you buy them and need help just holla .
or you could send me a set of stock head lights and i will do it for you .
The retro fit that is

Cool Thanks, i'll have a look for some bulbs if i do need them. Otherwise i'll see how it fits myself.

Haha i wonder how much a set of stock head lights sell for.

Oh ok awesome. Yeah im mainly just using the Headlights most likely. My friend will be taking the taillights.

Would have been better if they were the plain RS taillights. But yeh, will see how they look in real life.

Mine were posted out today, ETA says next week 18th. But will see if it updates tommorow.

[kuyachris84]

so i got these installed n wen i turn my car off... the halos still look like they're. on... its like glowing / very dim... is this okay?

I know this has been discussed b4 but can't do a sear ch right now on my phone

[AND189]

yeh the RS one are nice where could i find a pair like that swap even ??

[Midon]

Just a fyi on thoese. I bought as set and they looked great and still look ok, but after about 3 months in the texas sun the UV coating on them started to come off and they are not as glossy now. so this k=might happen to you and then again it might not. I do know I will have to go over mine with some polishing compound to get the luster back in them. One the light output with the stock bulbs they came with it was a lot less then the stock headlight assemblies. But since I also bought a HID kit for them (and yes I have them all adjusted right so i not blinding anyone.) they are really nice now.
