Projector Headlights | Euro Clear Headlight Lenses
Projector headlights? Angel eyes?
Halos? Blue light? What do all these terms mean? Let’s start
with projector
headlights. Projectors headlights originated in Germany about
twenty years ago. The technology was taken from racing vehicles driven at
night and transformed onto passenger vehicles. Projector headlight
technology started seeing the common roads on many upper-class vehicles such as
the BMW and Mercedes Benz. 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 borrowed the projector headlight
technology from Germany
and used it on a few Lexus vehicles. Now, projector headlights are used
on many new cars, trucks & SUV’s (foreign & domestic) built today.
Projector headlights are becoming more mainstream opposed to the previous
parabolic headlights used in the 1980’s, 1990’s and early 2000’s. Again,
the purpose of the projector headlight is to focus 100% of the beam of light in
front of the vehicle instead of all over the highway…in areas where lighting
isn’t really necessary.
Projector headlights will take the place of your existing OEM headlights.
MyTightRide sells its projector headlights in complete sets (left & right
side). And, the headlights come included with halogen bulbs and a wiring
harness for a quick plug-n-play installation. Many of the aftermarket
projector headlights will not use the same OEM bulb that the vehicle they’re
being installed on uses. For example, the 2002 Ford F150 uses a 9007
halogen bulb from the factory; low & high beam. One brand of
aftermarket custom projector headlight uses an H3 low-beam bulb and a 9005
high-beam bulb. These bulbs are readily available from local auto parts
stores if replacement is necessary. No need to replace the entire housing
if a bulb burns out. MyTightRide also carries aftermarket xenon bulbs if
you want to add a little color to your headlights. Or, if you really want
to brighten up the road, HID kits are also available.
Most custom projector headlights come in four flavors or colors. Two
colors depend on the housing of the projector headlights.
One color is chrome and the other color is black. Again, these colors are
the housing itself and not the front lens. The front lens is a clear,
top-quality plexiglass. The other colors are specific to the individual
projector lens. You can choose a clear projector or a blue (ion) projector.
The clear projector is just that…a clear projector. The blue (ion)
projector shows a purplish/blue tint during the day, but still produces a clear
light at night. Many people like this effect, especially for show
cars. As far as the quality and color of the light from each projector,
there is little difference. So, to add the four colors together…chrome
housing/clear projector, chrome housing/blue projectors, black housing/clear
projector, black housing/blue projector. The colors you choose are personal
preference and completely up to the customer.
Many of the aftermarket, custom projector headlights are one piece. That
means, the OEM headlight and side (blinker) lenses will both be replaced by one
projector headlight unit. Many custom aftermarket Honda
projector headlights are a one-piece design and will take the place of the
two piece headlight and side lens. TIGHT! And, there are quite a
large number of replacement projector headlights available for vehicles with
OEM parabolic headlights. Check out or line of projector headlights
to find the one that will fit on your vehicle! Our latest addition to our
aftermarket projector headlight section is the Ford Excursion, F250/F350
Superduty one-piece angel eye projector headlights.
Angel eyes? What’s an angel eye? The term angel eye again came from
the BMW line of cars. Many of the modern BMW vehicles have an LED ring
that circles the low and high beam lights. These LED rings are separate
from the headlights themselves and really don’t provide much as far as lighting
the road. However, they do look pretty sweet. Many of the custom
aftermarket projector headlights come with either one or two angel
eyes…depending on the size of the lens. Likewise, the term halo is
referring to the same LED ring. Many aftermarket projector headlights
come with dual halos (or angel eyes) depending on the size of the lens.
These halos or angel eyes will require wiring to an alternate power
source. Check out our installation of a set of 2002-2005
Ram projector headlights for our description of a projector headlight
installation and halo wiring.
