Are any of you guys using these, ifso what do you think? What kind of bulb is used in the projector part, and what color light does it give off. I am using the silverstars now. Does the projector give you more distance on the beam? Also is the regular headlight setup the same, with the chrome reflector in the back Thanks

The light is brighter with these than stock. I think it is because there are more bulbs. The light looks yellow/white.

 

The main problem I read about them, and Easter can say if this is a reality, is that you are not supposed to run the projectors if your vehicle is not moving. APC is a plastic housing, and the projectors build heat quickly without airflow.

I don't usually leave my headlights on when the truck is stopped, so I don't know if anything bad can happen.
The actual housing for the projector is made of pot metal and the lens is thick glass. The entire housing for the lights is plastic.

 

Hey easter, you have a Dremel? You might need it because the back part of the projector is going to hit the grill support shell. You'll see what I mean when you try to put the headlamp in.

I've had mine in for several months. Thanks for the warning though. I used an air cut off tool.

 

For some strange reason I thought you were about to install these lights.

I better go catch up on my sleep or something...long but enjoyable weekend!

 

Are those legal? If I am interpreting the pictures correctly, the low beams (projectors) are in the interior (toward center of truck) position, and the high beams (halogen with reflector) are in the exterior position. If that is the case, the setup is non-conforming to FMVSS and could be a potential problem.

As far as heat issues with projector beams, it should not be a problem. Plenty of vehicles come with projector beams as OEM equipment, with no heat/reliability issues.

 

High/low beams are in the exterior position. (They work with your existing light switch.) The projectors are just the aux. lights. (These need to be wired up independently. Switch and relay are included in the kit.)

 

Hey Easter,

Take a pic with all your lights on.

 

1) The projector is classied as a "fog/driving" light. The mail bulb is still a 9007 (hi/low) beam. Projector is a seperate switch, H3.

2) Ever look at the housing on most OEM projectors? More space to breathe or proper materials.

I would if my truck was running.

Mine are wired to the fog lights.
