CHEFRUSS 0 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 what do you guys think of these? looking to upgrade to HID, projector units seem to defuse the light better than standard lenses that are designed for Hallogen bulbs.also like the day running lights. very cool me thinks.http://www.dvbcaraudio.co.uk/golf-9804-black-style-headlamps-p-9527.htmlor clear ones herehttp://dubmonkeyz.co.uk/#/vw-golf-mk4-led-clear-headligh/4546706148do day running lights replace your side lights?

CHEFRUSS 0 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Standard lenses are illegal with HID bulbs, they don't project the light correctly and can blind oncoming cars. Link to post Share on other sites
oldmandon 1 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 ????Where did you get that information from? I'm intrigued. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am intrigued......... Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Normal headlights will scatter the beam which can blind people. Projector lights focus the beam. Like on my R32 lights Link to post Share on other sites

Like on my R32 lightsI meant where is the info saying it's illegal. It's not an issue for me, as I have projector lamps in my Hella quads, would just like to read that info and any related bumph that goes with it. Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Projectors are shaped domes that focus the beam. It can be hard to tell on some aftermarket lights but OEM ones are really obvious. Link to post Share on other sites

CHEFRUSS 0 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 The motors are small black boxes with a white gear on top, and looks like a ball on a stick the other end.. They just fit in the same place as originally and plug them in. 5 mins. Link to post Share on other sites
