Just spent the afternoon opening up the headlights on my 08 Prostar and adding in a bi-xenon projector. What a world of difference plus I get the brightness of hid without blinding oncoming traffic.
Upgraded my Prostar headlights.

looks nice, how much? Do you have a transformer with that system
-
This is the system I went with. I got the 50w ballasts and upgraded to osram night breaker bulbs. Just under $500usd. I bought the new housings for $550cdn.jsnell Thanks this. -

I can tell that your the cranky type who hates hid lighting and probably rightfully so with most kids and people who don't care just adding a plug and play hid kit into their reflector housing.
This is not that, if you look at the light output you will see a very sharp cutoff line, no light goes above that point and therefore does not blind oncoming traffic. Same type of projectors found in luxury suvs.
I have done the exact same thing to my peterbilt and when I meet my driver on the highway, most stock halogens are bighter to my eye than him coming at me..... now if he flicks the high beam that another story! -
Oh so these are the kind that looks like high beams coming at you (either head-on or in the mirrors) until they get at just the right angle. Got it.
I think I'll rig up my own lighting. Way I have it figured is that I might as well get them while they're getting me. -
Yes, those are the ones. I'm sorry that headlights are getting brighter and making driving safer, my apologies that we don't stay in the 70''s with the 4x6 sealed beam's. I'm sorry for your mild inconvenience while driving down the road.
I have personally dodged at least 3 accidents with wildlife due to the fact I was able to see them while before I used to be able to. I'm sorry if this upsets you but at least I'm trying to do it the right way.tucker Thanks this. -
While I'm sure that blinding a driver sitting on top of 80k at highway speeds is safer and all because YOU can see Bambi, don't mind my bickering. I can run wires and hook up bulbs as well as the next guy.
Blackshack46 Thanks this.
