Re: Watson Streetworks LED 7”

Dapper uses very small Halogen projectors in their both their halogen and HID headlights. I bought a set of their V2 Classic 7" HID's to go in my Miata to "upgrade" from the Cibie's. When they arrived I found that they had halogen projectors, not xenon projectors. Same light source size/location issues as installing a LED/HID bulb in halogen housing, the beam pattern is distorted. Due to the small projectors they have to use to fit in a headlight bucket, the beam pattern was only about 90* wide; rather inadequate. I ended up going back to the Cibie's.

That said, they have said that they are looking for better performing lights that still fit in an average size headlight bucket. it does look like they are using a different style of projector with their LED 7" lights. Hopefully they perform better than the V2's I tried.
