Hi Guys,
am a bit confused here. When someone wants to upgrade his stock head lights, he has only the option of going for projectors ? In terms of upgrading a complete kit. Not a bulb only. I'm currently in this situation, would like to have clear lights, but not Projectors, as they are too expensive. In my understanding Projectors = Xenon lights, correct? I know that other brands Hondas, Mazdas, etc. have had for some time clear lights only - without having xenon beams. Is that possible to get on Celicas? Or the only option (two options perhaps) is to get projectors (or those Xenon bulbs with those HIDs?) ?? Pls explain. Thanks. -------------------- '96 Celica GT, 16" AEF alloys, Eibach springs by Toyota Team Europe, TENZO Air intake, Chiptuning, GT4 design by Postert

Projectors does NOT = Xenon lights.
You can use Xenon lights in your projectors. I havent seen anyone that had done it though. You can use HIDs. Projector use h1 bulb while the normal one uses h4.

I see, so it means Projectors = clear headlights
They're not so cheap, but not so expensive either. can be found (toyotaworld) for some 500USD already a pair of low beams. Thanks anyway. -------------------- '96 Celica GT, 16" AEF alloys, Eibach springs by Toyota Team Europe, TENZO Air intake, Chiptuning, GT4 design by Postert

Your better off getting the whole set.
It will look weird cause the low beam would be clear but the high would be frosted. And you dont want to take off your bumper twice cause its a pain in the a$$. But if you dont have enough money I can understand you are making this move

Thanks anyway. Are you sure this is for a pair? I'm looking at this too, and if they're only $500 for the pair, I'm on this. |

Yeah, I e-mailed them about it. And I do not mind that at all.
