  • If you're doing a projector, you'd definitely want to retrofit it in the high beam light, so that when you flip the highs on, it is where the highs normally are. Your current low beams would never need to come on, as there'd be no reason to, as the projector will provide a much higher quality light.

    You could also do it super legit and run a quad retro as well - one projector in each light.

    But as far as retrofitting the high beams for a low/high projector setup, that will use the high beam switch to move the cutoff shield.

    • err I didn't mean projector lol. I'm just going to put these in the lows and buy another set in the spring for the high beams.

      My allergies are so bad right now. I've sneezed 10 times while writing this

      • I think you'd be fine to run a second pair for high beams. Certainly will make for a higher quality reflector output.

        • Well these are 55W, stock bulbs are also 55W. I don't know what will make these better other than the lens being clear instead of stupid [emoji38] From my googling, the output on these is ridiculous. Can the style of the Lens really affect it that much?

          • Lens and reflector, yeah, can have a huge impact.

            • Ah okay.

              Magical things happened today. No lights on the dash for the first time since I've owned it. Well the SES light will come back on soon, haven't tuned emissions out yet. But that damn security light is finally out. Thanks VATS bypass

                • They are pretty good at lighting i'll say. First one is with the exposure maxed out. These lights are pimpin' at night.

                  • They look great. I'd do the high beams too if it were me. Just for astetics.

                    • Thank you. That's the plan. Putting money else where for now.

                      Can't believe how great these are. I can actually see now.

                        • Would the stock 10 bolt be able to handle about 400 whp on a daily driver? Anything I can do to safeguard it?

                            400WHP? As long as you like a tire that doesn't grip much, it should last a little bit - though the fact you have a manual does not help its longevity.

                            • Had a slight hesitation problem lately. First thoughts were fuel related, rear end, and the famous opti.

                              It was a spark plug wire not on all the way

                              Secondly. I had intentions on doing a LE2 heads and cam swap this winter. I changed my mind. I'm going to hold off until next year so I can do it properly. Depending on funds, my goal is to get the engine rebuilt, heads, cam, intake, throttle body, clutch, suspension. Maybe I'll get a rear end too.

                              But for this winter, I'm going to get some new seats
