ALOT pics of my HID projector setup at night vs catz zeta (not hid)

FINALLY i got more pics for yas. I will try to get daytime pics asap. the camera still doesnt capture the purple white color that they are, but oh well. i still havent made the wiring all nice yet.




in this pic u can see how little room there was on the driver's side for the projector and hid connector


heres a shot of what it looks like from inside the engine


this is the passenger side, tons of room, u can see how its mounted


the color is way off, but u can see the projector good


color is off, but u can see the circular "eyeballs"


color is better, but still off


thats the cut off on a wall. im bout 12 ft from it, and that side walk is 10" off the ground


a far shot


those be the high beams, good old 9005s


the lighting on the road from my car (hid), its blacktop not concrete


heres my friends 00 si w/ a catz zeta kit (not hid, but high voltage system)


the zeta kit far, color is way off


close up of the si, the zeta bulbs are extremely blue


hers both together, my cl w/ projector hid on left, si w/ catz zeta on right

again i have audi tt xenon projectors, with audi a6 hella ballasts and osram 4300k bulbs

yeah i scooped up an 95 lexus es 300 and creased my hood. i bought casper's. now i need to get everything painted black.
day pics will blow your mind. it looks oem and bad ass, even with a white hood my car looks damn good

the catz zeta kit is NOT HID. it uses ballasts to pulse high voltage to a special bulb i think xenon gas. not exactly sure what it does, but u can get it for like $200

i like the cut off and the performance of the projector. they look really nice.

btw the first pic and the third pic from bottom to top, seems to be more direct/straight angle to the hid, so not a very fair comparison i think, if they were to compare side to side.

great work.

they draw low wattage, but the ballasts boost them up and do all the work so its plug and play into oem wiring harnesses

Can anyone tell me if the Audi A6 projectors will work on a 97 CL or does it have to be the Audi TT. Also how hard is it to install? I really want to do this since I got the H.I.D 8000k kit. My lights look liek their scattered all over the place.

Hey, you got any day time pictures up of that hood? I just wanted to see if a white hood on the black car...Black hoods dont look that bad on a white car so I was just wondering...

ill get day pics very soon. also the towel is hiding the ballasts. it is temporary protection so they dont move around. i said in the top of my post that i have yet to make the wiring nice.

great work.
in the first pic the si w/ the zeta kit the lights are off and the third pic from the bottom my hids arent on only the parking lights

the fair comparision is the 2 pics with the light on the road (4th and 5th from the bottom) and the last one. u can see how my hids dround out the zetas
