im curious to see how those work out for you as well. I was afraid they would look cheesy personally, and I doubt that they are going to have a very good output since thats just a cheap little halogen projector. My regular housings suck though and I need to get a replacement soon.

also...those blue bulbs (not the city lights, the actual headlight bulb) have awful output. I would try with some regular bulbs if they end up putting out poor light.

I keep hearing mixed review about silverstars. They must be a lot better than stock....right?

i never noticed a difference and after i had like 3 burn out on me and hearing similar stories I vowed to never buy any again. I just get the cheap bulbs or Sylvania.

these lights "should" be quite a bit brighter just because of the bulbs they use. like a said previously those chepo xenon wanna be bulbs are actually very bright and those housings take that style of bulb. the only i am curious about is why they made the reflective surface black??? black absorbs light right? i am anxious to see how well these things look/work

I have the euro front end on my Monte and was thinking since noone made crystal clear lights for these that maybe Towncar lights might work like these....

I would have to get measurements first but i think it would look bad *ss.

because it is a halogen projector...they dont work good. and that projector is just a cheap little thing.
hidplanet.com has alot of information on projector headlights.

Well the celebrity lights work on a monte ss with the rubber nose, Not sure if they'd work or look good on a elco or Monte SC, malibu. etc.
