Jokes aside, you aren't kidding - you've definitely done more than anyone who's ever posted on this side. Wish
These actually look pretty good even from pics.
BTW Chris, the ride looks clean!

Haha, thanks V.
Projector vs. reflector is easy to tell. Projector (xenon) has a glass ball to project light, while reflector (halogen) is simply silver/chrome housing reflecting light.
The OP has projector.
NguyenAzn, I guess you'll never give up will you. There and in the foreseeable future, there will be no PNP solution for halogens to make the angel eyes visible. Do the Orions already. It's been practically two years since you first asked about it.

There goes the more expierence answer we were looking for.. thank you Nomis

Nope. Two years ago John was selling high powered T10 bulb replacements. However, those required resistors, weren't actually visible in daylight, and blew out constantly. I don't know if he still sells them, probably not because it's really a hopeless cause for pre-LCI halogens.
Edit: PNP that is. In my mind right now, I think it would be possible to hack away at the socket and wire up larger and brighter LEDs for each ring, and in theory, it could potentially be brighter than what the pre-LCI xenons can achieve. (something like rigging up 4 Mtec v3s -- since halogen rings are powered individually)
Obviously, this wouldn't not be PNP at all, and definitely not for most people.

So worth the trip. I'm in Brick,NJ by Pt. Pleasant. I got my AE's and license plate LED's, rpi scoop done by John. Great guys at the shop and they know their stuff! Going to go get my HID fogs installed soon. Again, it's worth the trip...

OK woah, i'm sold to the mtec v3s. Was a bit hesitant but this thread cleared the doubts. Was planning on doing the orions but just like the OP i dont have the courage on doing so and here in ny there isn't anyone with experience. Guess i'll stop by motorcepts
