Retro fitted projectors would be the best.

- Tue Dec 18, 2007 9:38 am #34525 i would love projectors with H.I.D, but they are all american beam pattern, not legal in the UK, why cant anyone make UK legal projectors, they would make a killing, as most people that buy them modify them their selves and they still not 100% correct beam pattern, with the tick of to the left, and not blinding oncoming traffic on the right lol. :(

no it means...taking apart your stock headlights or aftermarket ones and making cuts etc to fit the projectors into the headlights. :) there is a thread in the general section about HIDS that gorveatt made.

- Tue Dec 18, 2007 3:57 pm #34555 Been looking and the way that these projectors have been fitted in the lights will not be legal in the UK as they cant be adjusted like the standard ones, will JDM ITR (DC2) lights fit to an EG without to much modification?

Thanks

- Tue Dec 18, 2007 4:10 pm #34556 what about installing a shield so that the beam won't go too high and blind oncoming drivers? not sure how strict the law is there. Or... check out JDM-Chick's headlights. They have different levels of adjustment from a switch on the dashboard :thumb:

- Tue Dec 18, 2007 4:15 pm #34557 Holly actually has the EDM headlights not the JDM ones.

and the shield you are referring to is called a casper shield. they only work so much, they don't provide the cutoff like a HID retrofit does

- Tue Dec 18, 2007 4:36 pm #34559 I'm wondering if the adjustment mechanism from the EDM lights + the HID retrofit would make them legal in the UK since they would then be adjustable. :?

You would probably end up needing a clear front piece that is crystal clear like from a set of the ebay projector lamps so the beam won't be scattered from the oem glass lens.
