I was wondering if anybody has attempted to get a company to make us projecter headlights? There is alot of interest in these and there seems to be quite a few companies that do this. If they were sold cheaper than JDM I would get some. Has any body ever tried?

The only way to curb the expenses of making all four lights would be to use plastic lenses instead of clear glass. That of course would be much less expensive to make, and probably the only way any of these companies would want to do it.
Makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a mould of the stock glass lens, and just make clear ABS plastic lens replacements for our cars. All that would be needed then is a little customization of the factory lamp internals and you'd be about done.....however you'd need something like the stock projectors or Romas' design to be a real projector. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
