i realize it depends, because you need to set up your lights in order that at 25ft from the wall they get -2 inches from the height of the projectors, i did it that way even having 4.5 in lift so i think i should get it even lower , the light of the cutoff should not get above the mirror and trunk of your front car from about 5 ft and mines overpasses that...

 

I loved how bright my ecodes were until i lifted the Jeep and had to aim them down. Now they're just "eh"

 

i gave up on trying to make my regular lights bright. i just us my hellas when no cars are around.

 

jajaja , it happened to me too , i tried oem sylvania sealed beam,then changed to normal ones with hids, then used the ones that came with "projectors" the fake ones , then as the last ones with the squared angel eyes had a smaller reflector i decided to use those to see if the light concentrated more , but chrome paint inside only lasted for about 5 month, then i decided to use my kc style fogs with 55w 4500 hids, i have 3 of those on the push guard , but as here in my country no one cares about that i can ride with all of my lights at the same time an live happy ever after...

 

What brand housings did you have? I tried those "diamond cut" ones once.... what a joke. Used them for one drive and returned them. I'm now running the old style autopal e-codes with sylvania ultra's (the orange $60 bulbs). Great headlight setup with an excellent cut-off. Not comparable to projectors, but as good as you can get without them.

 

no , mines are not branded , are cheap replacements that i bought on ebay , the ones that i told you that the chrome dissapeared after 5 months of use , but as now i have the projectors those are used only as housings and the projectors do all the job!

 

For your projectors those are fine, but that's probably why you didn't like them originally. Those housings just throw light everywhere.

 

i know , i just got tired of looking for a good pair of headlights that could give a nice ilumination, and saw that the projectors where the best solution to that , so decided to give it a try and i am really pleased with the results ..

 

Yea I love the light that projectors/hids give off, I just don't like the look of projectors in a regular headlight housing. I'd love to throw projectors in a fog light housing though.

 

i put those on my dads sport track fogs , they give the same cutout as the ones in the headlights its just that its better if you buy projectors by yourself and build them, and not the whole fogs cause the chrome on this ones is already gone and they dont hit that hard anymore as when they where new...

 

Hey here's some pics of my headlights with the e-codes. Pretty darn good cutoff for regular headlight housings. Low beams and high beams.

P.S. Not trying to highjack your thread bud, just thought I'd show you my headlights since we were talking about them.

 

now we can see why you are so proud of your headlights , they hit pretty hard, as we say in my country , before i had this headlamps modified they hit almost like that , but i have to say that they where using 55w hids so compared to halogen doesnt match cause hids are supposed to bright more...
those are the headlights im using befor projectors look pretty much like yours , but as you can see there is no ilumination to the sides and lot of light got wasted...

and FYI this is an open source knowledge page, the more info we get the more we learn , so maybe some of the guys rather have your lights than projectors, so its good that you share your your experiences with everyone, yours and everyone opinion its mostly welcome to us....

 

I'll have to get some shots of mine on a wall to compare to those.

 

which lights are you using in your avatar. i like the way they look.

 

Those are the angel eye housings he used for the projector build.
