are STI projectors any good because there is a guy who is selling them for $40 and im going to pick them up and pay tomorrow unless there crappy, so are they?

 

if you wanna do a nice retro fit i would go with the tl or fx

 

Theyre not bad, but IIRC they are 3" projectors so it will be a tight fit. If you get them, spend the money on some clear lenses from TheRetroFitSource.com. The stock lenses suck.

 

I would like FX or tl or even TSX but the cheapest ive found are 300 so for 40bucks there good but I wondering how good they are compared too tsx pprojectors

Im doing a retro fit The shitty part is I just finished a "projector" retro fit on my high beams

 

Thats a good website but the lenses didnt look that much better IMO so Im going to install them but before I finish I may change them

There price on bezels is good too but I think im going to black out my bezels

The question now is where will the angel eyes go LOL

you know how it says clear lenses can you get non clear lenses and what would they look like

 

The cutoff wont be sharp. You wont get the colors at the cutoff either.

TSX projectors are not $300. You can get a pair of them for half that. The TSX projectors are one of the best projectors on the market.

People with STIs put TSX and S2k projectors in their lights. Keep that in mind

 

For $40 they kill be better than what i have and look better too

I just saw that they were 150 for the TSX projectors I stand corrected

 

If these are not that great maybe I will do a custom fog
Do you think TSX projectors are that much better like twice as good ?

 

You've seen pictures of my output right?

 

Yeah yours is good, sorry not good great but im not sure how much is the camera, what I mean to say is its hard to compare unless its in the same place with the same camera

But the pics I saw of the STI out put were way better than my out put now, but defintly not as good as yours

from a scale of 1-10 10 being yours 1 being stock CL hids where do you think sti projectors are ?

 

Well, I wouldnt put the TSX projectors at a 10, but if thats the scale we're using, Id put the stock STI projectors at a 5.5. With the clear lense theyre more like a 7.

If I were to rate my output based on what Ive seen elsewhere, Id put mine at an 8 or so.

Basically, if youre dead set on the STI projectors, get the clear lenses.

 

Im not dead set On them there cheap and if I get better out put Im happy I will look for better lenes thought where should I look besides TheRetroFitSource.com and is there a brand of lens I should look for

 

IIRC TRS has a special agreement with the manufacturer so they are the only shop to sell them. You can look around the forums though. TRS has their own forum, but it doesnt get updated much. Theres also high-intensity.org and hidplanet.com. Check the Classifieds there. You may even find a better projector.

 

I was looking on that site and the ZKW-R are 3" will they fit the STI projectors

 

They may fit, but they weren't optimized for that projector. The curvature has alot to do with output. The ZKWs are great on TL projectors.

If I were you Id be looking for a set of Nissan projectors. They have nice color/output.

 

I just looked at hidplanet.com that is a good site Thanks alot
But I think Im going to stick with the STI projector for now, because I didnt even want to do them this year I already Bought coilovers and I want to buy a porter cable buffer and I think my wife is already going to kill me

 

 

LOL

I think im going to do them in my fogs. But can I do that or are they going to be pointed too low

 

You can do that.

 

Ok then its decided I will do projector fogs I just took my bumper off anyways and I dont want to take it off again

what would you say is the best projector, I will start searching for my low beams

 

sti fog is still good.... like he said nissan has good color projectors have you seen a maxima on the street? it has really nice colors

 

The only projectors that I notice are the Benz suvs but I thing im going to start looking at the cars I see on the road

Btw I will post pics when Im done shouldnt take me to long to install

 

I love s2k and fx-r.

 

If you want something small, cheap, and powerful go with the TSX projectors, unless you can find a cheap set of S2k projectors.

 

Im done! they look way better that stock which I have always said look really cheap! they are really bright too it not dark out, but from what I can see they are really bright

Im not sure Im going to keep them the way the are because the lens is exposed so it probably going to get chipped but once I figure out a better way to install then I will get new lens

 

so I am working on making a cover and these pics are with out the shroud I made to cover the hole but this is what they look like BTW I just washed my car yesterday and it is dirty again I cant stand spring!

 

i like it. looks nice

 

They are actually briter than my headlights LOL but I have to aim them tommorow cause there suppose to look like this _______/--------- and they look like this \/ but other than that I love them

 

So i was browsing through another form and looking at projectors, most have on reflector at the bottom but I have what look like two one on the top and on on the bottom?
why ? should I take it off

when I get home im going to mess with the setting to see if I can get it to look better and aim it right

 

can you get a closeup of the projectors with the light turned off? do you have them in 03 inserts or just left a hole on the sides?

 

Reflector or cutoff shield?

 

I just aimed them I wish I would of taken a pic but they look ok except on the cut off is a little blury

There not inserts ill take a pic of what I got and post it

 

The cutoff is blurry because of the lense.

 

nice...

 

Its weird that only one is blury

 

Check the spacing, You may have installed the bulb incorrectly.

 

I thought thats what it was but I already did that Im not too worried about it anyways

 

Swap the bulbs between the two, if the blurriness swaps sides then the bulb may be out of alignment.

Are these kit bulbs?

 

I have H7s in them them I was testing them and had H4s and D2S same thing, Blury the H7s are coming out cause there 8000k and I want 6 or 5

heres a pick but it needs a little touch up but I waiting to it too dry ( and my bumper pealing that just got painted ill be getting that redone soon)

 

Im not really lovin the look of that LOL I think im going to take My bumper off tomorrow and try something else
