For all you retro skeptics

Here is a quick comparison of stock headlights vs pnp vs a proper retro.

(i would just like to make a side note that the projector being used is a base HID projector, if you are not happy with those projectors they make better ones, FX-r and evox-r, plus oem projectors that are AMAZING. )

I'm a big fan of doing HIDs the right way, if you even choose to go that route. Great pics!

I can't take credit for the pictures. They came from TRS Facebook page.

I'll cut your headlights up for you

That's what the color flicker is for. I light up street signs 5+ blocks away. With no glare.....
