EVERYTHING seems bright! thanks for the pics man! those HELLA's make a hell of a difference! have fun with those. When I got my HIDs up, I'll let you know! but that is gonna be februari of march.no time nor money before then!

Re: Converting to Projector lenses & HID bulbs
I managed to find a true projector headlight with an HID kit after a lotta searching online. They're a lil pricey, but they arent some cheap "knock-off" projectors, its the real deal, and they have (2) style's to choose from, "Classic" and "Modern" with a variety of HID color temperature bulbs. Im looking at possibly purchasing a set for my '69 C/10.
Here's the link to the website: http://www.trueprojectorheadlights.com/

Re: Converting to Projector lenses & HID bulbs
I had also found them. Too bad I have 4x6" headlights.
good luck. If you arent ready for retrofitting yourself, then this seems like a nice deal!

Re: Converting to Projector lenses & HID bulbs
I really dig the modern look, but it depends on the look of your truck.
is your truck old-school or modern look? maybe you should photoshop them in a photo? I can help you if you want. pm me...if you want.

I actually ordered a pair of the "classic" projector headlights for my truck this morning. They have em in stock and should be shipped today with a 6000K HID kit. So in about 2 weeks time, cuz they are being shipped from USA to Canada, I should have em and be able to install em!

I've done some research and the bulbs you are using Ble-burban are pretty good. That is because of the "casper shields" or "anti glare shields" that are over the HID bulbs. They prevent the blub from spreading its light just anywhere, thus giving the pretty good light pattern you are having. Mine looked bad...but thats because the bulbs have been crap. Pretty funny drive about 7.000miles with HIDs in HIGH beam position...been lucky no cop has pulled me over so far...

Re: Converting to Projector lenses & HID bulbs
Hi there, I was looking online for some HID bulbs and I have a quick question..how would you know if the bulbs you have would not blind people on the other side of the road when you drive at night? Are there regulations involved? Sorry if it sounds kinda noob!
Thanks in advance! |

as far as regulations, if the car didn't come with it from the factory and have the levelers, its illegal. so every projector kit is in fact, illegal. just depends on the cops in your area and if they even care enough about it to enforce it. just don't blind oncoming cars and you'll likely be ok. an observation: after riding with a friends in his car which has projectors, I can't say I recommend them unless you live in Kansas, which is totally flat. they have such a great cutoff at the top of the beam that when you come to a hill, you can't see up the hill at all until the car is on the same plane as the hill. seems a little light scatter is necessary, of a good leveling kit (which he didn't have) |

Re: Converting to Projector lenses & HID bulbs
About leveling, are there some automated levelers?...I know benz has them for their higher end models...you know, the ones that turn the headlights to the direction where your car is pointed instead of just plain pointing straight. I think they have a video of their tech up on youtube
