Projectors

No real update today; just put back the original headlight into the car. So today this post will be about projector choice. From what I've researched, the Ebay ones are not worth it even though they are like $50 as they don't really enhance the light output or have a clear cut off. The only real place to get them is from America (www.theretrofitsource.com)

They sell quite a few projectors but to not over complicate things I will be going for the 'easier' option of the Morimoto Mini D2S projector kit.

Now there are two kits to chose from which do not require cutting of the back of the headlight. The difference in the kits are the globes used and the size of the projector. The Morimoto Mini H1 (MH1) kit is the smaller of the two and uses H1 HID globes. These are non standard and would probably be hard to source more globes (unless you want to ship them from the US for $50). This is the main reason I have chosen to go with the Morimoto Mini D2S kit. The D2S globe is the standard globe used in HID's in cars like the Honda Accord and BMW's (if anyone knows if this is not the case, please comment and let me know, thanks). These globes would readily be available in Australia.

The HID globes last way longer than Halogen globes and do not burn out. They dull in output over time and some colour shift which is why you probably see some Accords with way bluer lights than others. I can ramble on about this stuff but that can be for a later post :P
