New projectors Gen 3 Camry MOMENT OF THRUTH cutoff line

Now the first 2 pictures are from driver and passenger side LOW BEAM PROJECTOR

The 3rd and 4th picture HIGH BEAM PROJECTOR

5Th picture where I laid them down to get an IDEA

For some reason I like the HIGH BEAM one.

My Honest Opinion NOT BAD for projector froms a 3000GT

I am convinced and standing corrected now

didn't realize that projector in frosty reflector housing makes such a nice output with clear cut off!

^ They were probably dirt cheap.. because obviously these projectors were unknown before, and never known to be good projectors. But then again, anything's better than reflector (unless they're newer models)

^ True. Still though, if the OP is going to do a retro, he should at least use nice projectors. Just my opinion.

Not everyone can justify spending hundreds on top of the line projectors and headlights.. which is why no one is buying my retrofit that's for sale now. Not a single gen 3/3.5 camry on earth has better headlights but they won't be sold quickly cause they cost me ~$400 in parts, and I'm selling them for $425 shipped so I can do another retrofit Imagine I charged labor fee! Back on topic though, like I said they were probably cheap, and they'll do the job.. just not as well as most commonly used projectors

^ Andddd that's why i'd buy yours if I had the money. Doing it right the first time. But still, to each their own. I just like nicer things. It's always about what you can afford I guess.

Yeah.. most people (even myself sometimes) can't justify spending that much on lights, could've gotten tokico blues already But I realize that I'd rather see everything at night, than sit an inch or two lower.

^ YES. I'm pissed off at the headlights in my Expedition right now. I couldn't see JACK last night. But I refuse to modify that 9.7mpg city junky beast. -__-

I know they were on top of the car which is why i said they need to be installed into some Depos...lol

I def cant justify spending almost 500 on a set of retros....think about it...That could get me my RSB, STB, and prob the 4 point brace too....all of that handling for the price of seeing a little better at night.....for now ill pass...
