Two projector or one?

I just did this to get an idea of projector setup. I just got all the materials and now want to start defining on what look i want.. What do you think?

you are a noob and projectors are pretty hard work and they take LOTS of time, and on a scale of 1 to 10 i would rate them at least a 9. i know i redid my setup like 5 times before i finished it up and i know VXCL did the same around there and sly did like 3 times

so there is a lot of work

if you read that post im working on a patent for the dual projectors for the CL so hopefully soon we will see mine in a magazine and on everyones cars but the patent papers should be here any day now so i can get on this and make sure no one steals my ideas cause ive been talking about this for a little over 6+ months now

I would stick with one.

I saw like the infiniti j30, which has 2 projectors, and it makes the headlight look so, plain. Mainly because it was only 2 projectors, and it had nothing else.

The chopped picture doesn't look that bad. You should try it! I would try it, but the car = sold real soon -_-

you just gonna use H7 valeo or something for the high beam? how's that gonna work?

im using rx300 minis for the highs and also i have planned for one set to be h1's in the highs and a xenon in the lows but you need a size difference from the two projectors to make it look right


angel eyes will be the hardest but ive been perfecting on how to do them so hopefully soon you guys will see the product

Personally I dislike a dual setup. I would stick with one bi-xenon for lows and highs and use the 9005 as a DRL. I like a clean oem look.

I'm with VXCL, the bi-xenon's are the best. I want to use that setup with the Piaa yellows where the highs are. like jdm type-R Interga's where the fog light is in the headlight housing.

I have a set of bi xenon's and a set of regular xenon projectors. i am looking for two more ballasts and one more blub. I am a "noob" on a-cl, but have been working with cars for a while. I custom fabed a kit for my girlfriends RSX when it first came out, and when i had my 98 accord 2dr, i installed projectors in those housings.

In about a month I will have my car-puter installed and running. I am waiting for my indash touchscreen to come and than ill have all the parts.

In the headlights i am thinking about having a third projector for IR. I want to do an IR system like i saw in an older caddy. All in progress though so everything can change.
