Start or custom headlights, few questions

Alright, I looked around on HIDforum, searched here, check ebay and looked at cars.

Little confused now. I have a 95 gen 3.5 camry.

I was looking at projectors. First off, do these have bulbs already, or needed to be seperate, or will it say if I need them or not? Are these supposed to be wired for high and low are on 1 projector, or will I need 2 projectors per headlight assembly.

Looking at angel eyes. Now these confused me. Are these just driving lights or these used as actual headlights? Ive seen both I believe. Could angel eyes go around the projectors?

Now what do you think of these for angel eyes

Appears its a headlight, also a driving light?

Same as above?

Taking the lights out of these would work aslong as it properly wired and modified?

Cathode angel eyes are the real ones?

Same as above?


I guess that makes some sense.... if not smack me, thanks.

they have to be custom...but the only real reason to put in projectors is if you put HID in there...

i'm going to be starting this project soon and hopefully if all goes as plan i will have a projector retrofitted in my lights w/HIDs!

but now, i'm slowly gathering parts i need

you may want to do a search on this....it seems that your understanding of how angel eyes/projectors, and hids is fairly rudimentary...

but here are the basics...

if you want projectors, you can either use one OR two in each houseing, but because the gen3s use two different bumbs for highbeam/drl and low beam, if you want your drl and your low beam to both have projectors, then you need two- or some people only retrofit it for the low beam

remember:
-if you're planning on using hids without projectors, you'll glare like mad
-if you're planning on using projectors w/o hids and without clearing your lenses, your beam pattern will get broken up by the lextured lense
- if you're planning on using hids with your projectors, you don't need to clear your lenses

and IF you really want angel eyes with your projectors, then it would be easiest to buy a set of civic halo+projectors off of ebay, cut it out of their housing and then retrofit it into yours

but personally, I don't think angel eyes fit on any car by bimmers

have fun
