Headlight retrofit questions

Post by TraumaForYou »

Thinking for retrofitting my headlights. Going to get a kit from theretrosource.com. trying not to spend a ton of money so I'm looking at the cheaper kit. Was wondering if anyone knew if I could use the BI-XENON: ACME H1 STAGE III kit. If anyone has any advice or anything I would greatly appreciate it! :D https://www.theretrofitsource.com/compl ... 4GDGsspDqC

Isn't ACME the company that the road runner bought all his shitty gear from?

Are projectors worth it?

I do a LOT of night driving. It's the reason why I don't do silverstars or ultrastars... they look pretty, they are brighter, but they last a month. No joke, even on the packaging the ultrastars say 150 miles life, where the OEM type say about 1200 hours of life.

They are definitely worth it. Try some quality HID projectors and you'll never go back to reflector beam type lights. I have some Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 projectors with 5500k 55 watt HIDs, and they blow standard headlights away. And they're fantastic in bad weather, cutting through the rain and focusing precisely down the road.
