H4 Projectors?

**F1 MCL** · 7-3-08, 18:15

I have been warned by the police MULTIPLE times to change my Yellow Headlights because they are apparently illegal. Which I read out law and it says between white and amber...

But I went ahead and ordered some H.I.D.'s and 8k to be exact, I might go 4.3k if they harrass me any further.

But to my main point, I have just a regular H4 housing, and I was stupid and wasnt thinking of reading and researching before I bought the H.I.D.'s

Well, a buddy of mine has regular housing with H.I.D.'s, and the glare is HORRIBLE, and as I was reading online, unless I get projectors, even with aiming the lights the glare is still... HORRIBLE, which will most likely bring the cops to my attention even more, so thats a FAIL.

I have been looking for H4 Projectors, and all I can find are Ebay Specials, they look like they fail, because they arent inclosed, so they are basic lights + a cheap lense that doesnt even look like it will cut the light off nice and clean.

So anyone really know where I can get these? H4 Projectors that are actually designed correctly? Someone recommended retro-fitting S2000 or a TSX projector.

Any thoughts or views would be appreciated, I really dont like being pulled over every other week and hearing I am doing 10 over the speed limit or swurving when the real reason they pulled me over is my lights.

Thanks,
Curtis

foglights may be amber or white, however the driving lights MUST be white. that's a federal DOT standard and is probably one in washington state as well.

TSx projectors you should be able to find on most online autions sites. They Should do just fine for your needs at hand. Do you plan on using the Oem housing for the retro.

Our RC said headlights must be between amber and white, not totally amber but you know the RC is unclear here. They said all factory cars built in WA must have WHITE headlights. Its really unclear, but I went with 8k HIDs and they look pretty good, on camera they look uber blue compared to my old lights, but in real life they look white, weird! Ill post pictures they are in my stock H4 housing vs. my yellow lights I had, you will notice a NASTY glare from the hid side, so thats why I need projectors. But I went ahead and bought the ebay special projectors, not really expecting anything spectacular, but I will post pictures of after with the new lol wtf ebay projectors to see if they are decent, if not I will go ahead and try to TSX projectors, and yes I would try to use the oem housing, is there a better way for that puma?

Warning Ebay H4 Projectors suck, they focus no beam and waste the light, but wasnt a bad lesson learned for $40, so no such thing has h4 projectors yet anyone, unless you fab and make your own which would be alot of $$. Just FYI to anyone use oem projectors and retrofit please! As for my HIDS, havent been harrased yet, drove behind cops, next to them, still nothing, hopefully it stays that way *knock on wood*
