Default projector headlights

I have the nonprojector one and will be switching from green to amber so the cops can leave me alone. Was wondering if anyone has or had the projector ones and if they were any good or just stick with the h4 ones?http://www.topgearautosport.com/part...onversion.html

For that price, you can get a set of Truck-Lites that don't stick out like that and use a fraction of the energy. The projectors will...you know...project light a little further down the road, but I think they look goofy. But whatever; it's your choice.

If you live in the city a good brand h4 housing with the headlight harness is more then enough light.If you live out in the sticks then the led headlights maybe projectors will be better.Off road if you do that then you really need to add other lights like flood and spot lights for that.

Thanks for all of the info! I'll go with the truck lites. Should I get the headlight harness also?

Relay harness is less necessary with LED headlamps, but I'd still get one since they are dirt cheap and still protect the headlight switch.

The harness makes no difference with LED lights. My Truck-Lites are amazing, BTW.
