Custom 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. 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. 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.
Projector headlights will take the place of your existing OEM headlights. BilletMyRide sells its projector headlights in complete sets (left & right side). And, most headlights come included with halogen bulbs and a wiring harness for a quick plug-n-play installation. Please note: many of the aftermarket angel eye 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. The aftermarket custom projector headlight uses an H3 low-beam bulb and a 9005 high-beam bulb. The headlights will come with the necessary bulbs. 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. BilletMyRide also carries aftermarket HID kits if you want to add a little color and a LOT more brightness to your headlights.
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 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 of the light from each colored projector, there is little difference. But, the blue (ion) projector does give it a little spice. 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. One last note on color....some projector headlights are now coming with smoked (titanium) outer lenses. As soon as they come available, we will post them on the site.
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 Ford & Honda projector headlights are a one-piece design and will take the place of the two piece headlight and side lens. Very NICE! And, there are quite a large number of replacement custom aftermarket 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!
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.
What’s that blue light I see on many BMW and Mercedes Benz vehicles these days? Is that a projector headlight? Well, the answer to that is no. Many of the late-model Benz & BMW cars and SUV’s do have projector headlights. However, the blue light you see is from an HID kits. H.I.D. is High Intensity Discharge and requires a different type of bulb, ignited by a ballast. These H.I.D. bulbs burn much brighter than a stock halogen bulb, cooler than a halogen bulb and requires much less energy to light. Instead of a filament producing the light, an H.I.D. bulb produces light by creating an arc that is generated between two electrodes. The effects are truly remarkable…up to three times higher luminance that closely resembles natural daylight. So, the quantity of light is far greater while consuming half the energy of stock halogen bulbs. BilletMyRide sells an aftermarket H.I.D. kit for many applications.
Many customers ask if they can use an H.I.D. kit with their projectors. The answer is yes, you can! However, purchase the projector headlights first, then purchase the H.I.D. kit afterwards. Or, purchase them together from us at BilletMyRide and we’ll make sure you get the correct H.I.D. kit for your aftermarket projector headlights. Do note, many projector headlights do not have the depth required by H.I.D. bulbs. Many projector headlights have a bar in the center of the cavity in which the bulb resides. We will verify your H.I.D. kit will work with the projector headlights you purchase from us.
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 ?
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.
There is a misconception that color temperature is a rating of the brightness of the HID bulb. The truth is that the higher the color temperature, the less light output from the HID bulb. Again, if you're looking for the maximum amount of light from your HID kit, choose the 4,300k bulb. 4,300k bulbs will have the highest lumens output of any HID system.
What is Lumens? Lumens in relation to HID is the intensity of light. In comparison to OEM halogen bulbs, HID bulbs are on average three to five times brighter. The lumens of an HID bulb will be two to three times greater than the lumens of an OEM automotive halogen bulb. You could compare the power and intensity of HID with a welder's arc. Same principle and same type of light. Instead of a halogen bulb using a filament to create the light source, HID uses gas-filled capsule and an electric arc to create the light. This arc of light is far more intense than the filament of a halogen filament bulb.
More light = more power requirements This is not true with HID bulbs. The HID kit will produce approximately 23,000 volts. Although a huge amount of power, the HID system will only draw 35 watts of current. The standard OEM halogen bulb will consume 55 watts of power. Therefore the HID system will draw far less current from your vehicle's electrical system. The power conversion is achieved with the use of a ballast. Like a florescent home lighting system, the florescent ballast generates more electricity for the bulb but consumes less electricity in comparison to a standard incandescent bulb.
BilletMyRide carries many popular types of HID systems. They also carry the Bi-xenon HID bulbs for those headlight systems with combined high beam & low beam bulbs.
