S13 Projector Headlights

Does anyone have projector headlight lens for the S13 flip up headlight? How are they with HIDs?

that's not a projector. it's basically a reflector with a glass lense floating in the middle, not cutoff shield or anything. The beam pictures I've seen from those are horrible. Your best bet is to get some sealed beams with clear lenses and retrofit bixenon projectors in there yourself.

And don't buy the first ones the main mounting bracket is plastic also the bracket on the side did not have anything to attach to .just my opinion

I had to do a epoxy/ fiber glass fix cause it cracked from the highway driving .

the first one is borderline garbage and looks tacky imo, while the second one is decent enough with some quality h4 bulbs. hid are not the way to go imo mainly because i don't feel the results will be worth the time money and effort put into retrofitting it.
