I now have projectors wired up to HIDs for my gen2. Here are the pics:




First impressions were - 'My car is wearing spectacles' They look a little odd and I'm not sure if I prefer the look of them over my standard headlights. But they have grown on me over the past couple of days.

I'll echo all the usual pros about projector headlights now; the light distribution is better as there is a distinct cone of light and a clear cutoff point. This is the opposite to the original reflector headlights wired up to HIDs as there was a bit of light scatter unevenly distributed.

So yeh, what do y'all think?

They look alright. Projectors are getting a bit long in the tooth these days though.

Don't tell me that AFTER I've got 'em, lol.

But how are they long in the tooth?

[Soop]

Just see them all the time.

Just see them all the time.

Oh ok, your not critising the technology/design then Yeh they are common in cars now. Even your average Mazda 3 and Toyota Camry's have them as standard I think.

[Soop]

Well. When you say average Mazda 3 or Camry. They're still light years ahead of what the 12yr old RX is in terms of technology. So they'd damn well want to..

Of course. I meant average by todays standards.

Nevertheless, its nice driving around in a 10+yr old car that has lights as good, if not better than some of todays cars

Now I just need to get my park lights to match....

You idiot.
Every second Gen2 has them now. How does it make them stand out?

i'm pretty sure that outside of subyclub/ozliberty... i've never seen projector headlights on a gen2...

[Soop]

Thats because outside of Subyclub and Ozfailboat, they're all driven by nan and pop .

^I'm pretty sure he already mentioned 'granny spec' in his initial post.... Anyways, I'm useless I was trying to adjust my lights and managed to drop the screwdriver all the way to the bottom of the under-tray

well its a common upgrade thats why maybe? but i get what you are saying its over done too many people have it, just like black rims and legacy garnishes, it was great when a few people had them but when its becoming an epedemic it gets ruined....

Thats happens shiv, a magnet FTW....

Copy cat. Looks good though, personally I love a gen2 with projectors. Huge improvement to the front end.

Im with you.

If you compared projector equipped Gen2's to not, Id say its still pretty uncommon.

[Soop]

I only said they're getting long in the tooth... People are hardly going to keep the "ZOMG thet iz soooo kewl... like omg ya mum..." thing going for ever....

[Xon]

Paul long in the tooth refers to age. The word you're looking for is "common".

[Shiv]

^I was going to say the same thing because its confusing hearing that term used to describe commonness And I've def grown to like the look of the projectors now. Prefer them to the originals
