Affordable Projector Headlights

[Chris_uk]

Ok, so I came across this link http://www.carparts-tuning.co.uk/Lighting-Tuning/Headlight/Headlight-Daylight-Set-suitable-for-Mazda-2-black.html

I emailed them, as i'm curious at how the daylight running lights will be connected to my halogen headlight wiring, I currently have HID bulbs fitted so wondering if ill need the ballasts for the projection units? I'm super interested in these headlights, only 9 shipping to the UK

Any ideas on what you guys think from the rear view images?

They don't say anything about HID, so my guess is that they're made to work with normal halogen headlight bulbs. You would probably just install your existing HID bulbs in them, just the same as they are in stock headlights now.

The lights look OK, actually, especially for the price. I'm not a big fan of the LED stuff on cars that didn't come with it from the factory but otherwise they seem decent.

Yeah! I too saw these and posted about them a few weeks ago in another section. I'd love to see them on your car, and hear about your impressions if you do order them. I'm also curious about the LED situation. I don't want anything gimmicky looking. In those images the design looks very clean. Keep us in the loop!

That's not surprising.

I just sent them am email asking if they could ship to the United States and how much it would cost. If it's not too ridiculous I might take the plunge and get these headlights. I'll let you know what they say once they reply.

 

[inspekt]

Look forward to hearing what you find out.

 

[kwaits92]

If you start the order process on their site USA is a country option.

 

[Tom_Mazda2]

I haven't heard any reply back. I sent them an email a few days ago. I really want to find out how much shipping would cost.

 

[Chris_uk]

I had to e-mail them at least twice before getting a reply, turns out 323F Rock was right, they're LHD but will fit our UK cars but will turn our lights into LHD.

Did anyone actually purchase a set of these yet?

 

[BigBlueDart]

I was just checking it out, going through the checkout process (but not finishing), and it said that shipping to the US was 34,90 €.

 

[inspekt]

Not bad, so with shipping (at current Euro-Dollar conversion rates) the total comes in at almost exactly $300.00 USD. Hmmmmm....

 

[kwaits92]

What I don't understand is if they are made in the UK why are they LHD?
Also buying a set of these for $300 would be a better option than retrofitting unless the quality is terrible.

 

[BigBlueDart]

I believe they're made in Germany. The website selling them is just a UK website. It is strange, though.

 

[kwaits92]

Any US owners planning on biting?

And the game of chicken begins...

And the game of chicken begins...

Hahaha.
If I was the first it wouldn't be till next year at the earliest. I got a priority list.

 

[inspekt]

I'm hoping I'll be the first, but I have to get back in town first, and see to a few other things. Then, maybe (!) ...

 

[inspekt]

Has anybody out there sprung for a set of these? (Obviously not me yet...)
