Projector headlights in s13 pop-ups, I need pics.

I found some projectors for s13 pop-ups on ebay for way cheap and wanted to know if anybody had any pics of them on their car? Someone on the forum said they were worth it even if they aren't HID, but didn't post any pics.

What do you guys think?

You talkin bout sealed bem conversions with the little projector lens in it? Theyre garbage. It hinders light more than it helps. The reason I say so is because it is not a true projector system. The lens is poorly designed, and the light from the bulb is not focused in a way that actually makes the projector useful. The bottom line is it scatters light like a drunken retarded headlight, and creates an odd cold spot where there SHOULD be a hot spot... In short, a waste of cash, and you get what you pay for

If you want good headlights, I can show you the best you can get for the s13 without breaking over $250.. and these are world renowned lights.

If you want to know about lighting, I suggest you go here.
Silviaks2nr knows.
As for what I got? Well, Im ashamed to say, but I have some ebay cheapie conversions. Looked good for about 8 months.. Heres a pic from when I was changing my clutch MC. My bumper looks terrible at this point. Its primer, and wasnt done filling in some scrapes by someone at school parking their truck ON TOP of my bumper...

Nowadays, the passenger side light is all messed up inside the light, and looks like all the chrome disappeared, and the driver's side is starting to fade as well...
And BTW, Light output was horrible. It made a funny pattern like _/ _/ and pissed ppl off.

...uhm, not really. My girlfriend provides all the live action **** I need. There's no need to tease myself with "noody pix".

wow... again with the negativity. They're crappy, cheap, ugly, ricey, queer, and useless. I understood the first time you posted, thank you for your opinion. However, I'd really appreciate a pic from somebody who actually owns a pair. This way, I may decide for myself if spending $300 on "real" projectors is worth it when I get a less perfect set for $60 on ebay.
