What is a custom Projector Headlight?
Custom Aftermarket Projector Headlights for cars, trucks and SUV’s
Projectors headlights originated in Germany about twenty years ago. It was technology taken from racing vehicles driven at night. The projector headlight technology started seeing common roads on many upper-class vehicles such as the BMW. BMW wanted to produce a headlight that would focus the light directly in front of the car instead of on the sides of the road and into the sky which standard parabolic headlights do. It was important to have the maximum amount of light in front of the vehicle when traveling at speeds over 150 kilometers/hour. Shortly thereafter, Japan expanded on the projector headlight technology and used it on a few Lexus vehicles. Now, projector headlights are seen on most new vehicles (foreign & domestic) built today including many high-end SUV’s. Aftermarket automotive projector headlights are becoming more mainstream opposed to the previous parabolic headlights used in the 1980’s & 1990’s. Again, the purpose of the projector headlight is to focus the beam of light in front of the vehicle instead of all over the highway…in areas where lighting isn’t really necessary.

All About HID (High Intensity Discharge) Lighting
What’s all this noise about HID lighting? I see more and more vehicles on the road with HID headlights. Many new vehicles come with HID lighting from the factory. Why HID ?
Automotive Aftermarket HID lighting 9008, 9007, 9006, 9005, 9004, 9003, H3, H1,
HID versus halogen: High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting technology replaces the filament of the light bulb with a capsule of gas. The light is emitted from an arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes sealed inside a small capsule. This arc is similar to the light of an arc welder. To operate, each HID bulv requires individual ballasts, which supply proper voltage and meter current. The amount of light emitted from the HID lighting system is far greater than a standard halogen bulb. While, at the same time, consuming less power.
Color of HID lighting & Kelvin: Kelvin (K) in relation to HID is the color temperature of light. That light color is on a spectrum that varies from 3,300k to 12,000k. Starting on the left, 3,300k is the color temperature of OEM halogen bulbs. 3,300k is kind of a yellowish color. The next step up would be 4,300k. 4,300k is the equivalent of sunlight. This will be the brightest and whitest color available with an HID lighting system. If you are looking for strictly the brightest bulbs on the market, go with 4,300k. Next is 6,000k. 6,000k has a tint of blue and will be similar to many Infiniti/Nissan factory HID bulbs. 8,000k will be bluer than 6,000k and is similar to many factory BMW and Mercedes HID bulbs. 10,000k and 12,000k will shine a purple light. Although we have those colors available, we don’t recommend it. Try and drive at night behind a purple light. Not real easy. These HID kits are more for show.

Facelift for Dodge Ram
Matthew K from Irvine, CA just back from a tour of duty in Iraq, brought us his 2005 Dodge Ram to install a set of angel eye projector headlights and an upper and lower billet grill.
Matthew’s truck experience quite a transformation at our shop. First, we removed the lower plastic cover on the valance so we could install the lower bumper billet grill.
As you can see, its a fine looking RIDE now with a new set of projector and an upper and lower billet grill. Thanks Matthew!!
