Projector H4 Conversions!

**HondaBoy** · 02-14-2004, 01:26 PM

well, ive been wanting some for the longest time. ive kinda been weary of getting them because ive never seen how they really shine. i saw some on a jeep wrangler the other night and they were nice and bright. so today i had some time and ordered them. after i send my money order in i guess they should start shipping. im getting them from ProCarParts.com. $62.46 shipped with bulbs. can't beat that with a stick! dont know about those bulbs though, they are xenon blue ones, they may work well with projectors. oh, dont worry, y'all will be the first ones to see them. i'll post pix.

You got jipped by procar then... I got my Option racing ones for $20 on ebay

Don't forget to get a new h4 Wiring Harness, Cause I tried with my stock harness and couldn't handle it

**AccordArizona89** · 02-14-2004, 02:41 PM

hahaha that sucks. they got APC h4s at pep boys for like 20 bucks too. dont know how good they are tho

**Defiant[YD]** · 02-14-2004, 03:57 PM

i got eurolites for my accord, didn't have to change the harness. and it's been over a year now. still nothing wrong. and it's really whitish/blue. liked it so much i use the same thing on my civic too.

**shepherd79** · 02-14-2004, 04:10 PM

i have my H4 with Raybrig bulbs for over 2 years now and i never had any electrical problems.

**DigitaLuminescence** · 02-14-2004, 07:25 PM

It's okay, HondaBoy, I got jipped too, mine came to $56 through Ebay.
In the past year the only problem I have had with mine: I never got a wiring harness, the lights still look good, but they are a little dim.
Good luck, hope you like them!

can the stock wiring harness handle 55w/65w h4? I got some used H4 conversions from Maxedoutracer for 10bucks...and not too sure if the stock wiriing harnesss will take it. If not, i'll get a new one that handles more juice

**DigitaLuminescence** · 02-15-2004, 12:33 PM

Well, they'll work fine without the harness (mine handle the power), but they are dim so that you can't really see the lights during the day. I would get one if I were you.

Maybe that's what I'll do today. Now I have to figure out where I can get a harness in the Olympia area.

**Busted_Blue** · 02-15-2004, 12:46 PM

Well, looking at the wiring harness, the adapter is for 6x7 seal beams...is 3 pegged...and h4 is 2 right? Am i suppose to have more hardware to this? I just got the glass lense from maxedoutracer.

**DigitaLuminescence** · 02-15-2004, 01:00 PM

not sure exactly what you mean, there is no difference between H6054 sealed beams and H4 conversion bulbs.
both H6054 and H4 have the same 3 prongs to plug in to, the harness should be no different either. Any pictures?

where did you get your housings from? what's the web address?

**Busted_Blue** · 02-15-2004, 02:53 PM

oh, no it is from a member on this forum, maxedoutracer that drives the g1 teg.

**HondaBoy** · 02-15-2004, 05:48 PM

i got jipped eh? i've never found projector H4's for $20! you do know they aren't the kinda i already have, right? anyway, i will probley sell the bulbs they come with to someone for more than their worth.

**RobT5580** · 02-15-2004, 05:54 PM

When i bought my 2nd set of H4 housings (eurolite ones) the best i could find was about $22each. Im making my own projectors with Audi units because of my HID setup that im using. Personally for non HID setups i would just get the eurolite H4 housings with some decent H4 bulbs. I was very happy with mine until i got my HID setup when i worked for Audi. The projector H4 lenses they sell dont have a block off plate so i would expect the light beam to be very blinding for on coming traffic. Just my thoughts although i never used these projectors but i have had my H4's for some time and if you seal them up they will be plenty bright.

**HondaBoy** · 02-15-2004, 06:14 PM

ah, but you got jipped. hehe. $6 for these reflector type with city lights! ok, well they aren't the best, but yeah. anyway. i'll try to get a pic of what i'm getting.

**RobT5580** · 02-15-2004, 06:18 PM

I would be careful with those cheap H4 housings most of them are plastic and im sure they will pit after driving them in the winter and that will decrease the light output. The eurolite's are the best iv seen thus far and are still not the greatest quality but they have a glass front.

im running eurolites.. got a smoken deal on them too.. i love them.. i chose to just fill the city light hole with 'cone... i never had a single leaking problem...

**qh187** · 02-15-2004, 06:41 PM

'

by cone do you mean filling the big ass hole with silicone?

**HondaBoy** · 02-15-2004, 07:11 PM

yep, those are the ones i got, and i havent had luck finding any better deals on those type there.

**Bloodlust** · 02-15-2004, 07:46 PM

Hey guys I think you are getting Projections headlights and just regular H4 conversions mixed up. The only guy on here that I know of who sells true Projection headlights for our cars is OldSchoolSwap and he charges about 50-something per light.

Not really, since the city lights came installed and I got 85/80w and 130/100w bulbs with mine... but that's why I'm getting a harness, my stock one has been corroded some(damn Wisconsin winters) and for the piece of mind/ease of install to push enough power

From what i know those aren't true projectors. It's just a magnifying lens in front of the bulb. Ask original2k i think he has the exact ones.

**RobT5580** · 02-16-2004, 09:15 AM

They are projectors just not a true projector such as what you get from many factory cars today. Hella seems to make some of the best stuff mainly for (audi, bmw, mercedes) A true projector will have a block off plate to cut the beam in half so you dont blind people. And real projectors need a fair amount of mounting depth to get a nice beam pattern. This was my main problem with using Audi RS6 bi-xenon projectors because they are just to long so i decided to stick to my regular Audi A6 projectors.

**HondaBoy** · 02-16-2004, 04:14 PM

yeah, i already knew about that. but it is a real projector, just not as nice as ones for all the other headlights. wish they would make something better. wonder if i can modify it somehow? anyway, this holiday weekend thing will probley slow down my order some.
