2004/2005 Projector Headlamps

Anyone tried these before? Presume these are similar to Ceilca's projector headlamps. So are these any good?
(There's two options here: Sprinter 91801 and 4CarOption.com)

No idea about the quality but I definitely wanted them. The price, and the fact I wanted black housings kept me from picking them up. I ended up buying black housing JDM headlights.

I don't think they should, but if you are planning to buy them, ask if they come with warranty just in case.
btw I am also planning to get them. I am just waiting for the price to drop just a little. But they were next on my list, followed by HID's.

You, should've baked your head lights and painted them yourself, would've saved a hundred bucks.

Those are really good looking. I've always wanted HID's, but in a black housing. Is the 03 the same as the 04?

I would've gladly, but I knew precious little about cars when I bought the lights, and certainly did not trust my skills enough to leave headlights in the oven. That's a different story now, though.

I don't know but i think i read about the products 4caroption sold were not very well fit. Could be a lil risk... up to you.

I think i bought some carpet mats from sprinter and the guy said it would fit... but it was too narrow and too long .... he doesn't pick up the phone or return emails very well ... limited english too, i think.

They do look nice. I really want to get HID... i can't see well with the corolla lights right now ... but I dn't have the time and $$.

Ok, and what about these ones? They look good at my own taste and they are CHHHEEAAAPPP (less than a hundred buck over EBAY). I see some similar design of headlights on a Ford Focus (I mean some headlights without cover glass) and I found them good.

I'm also wondering how they light? Do you get a better or badder lighting with these kind of projector lamps?

Any comments are welcome.

i'm sorry dude, but "badder"?


i wouldn't trust them, as far as light output. also, what if a rock jumped up off the road, i wouldn't want my projector's naked.


i'd just do an OEM retrofit if u really want projectors
