No.. Most if not all Ebay lights are cheaply thrown together w/o considering any proper light disbursement/cut off other than a spotlight. You just don't have light going into oncoming traffic but at top of trees, & roofs.
Not quite...
DOT housings suck ass and are actually made to send a certain amount of light up to illuminate overhead signs. This screws up the performance of the overall lense.
E-code housings (euro spec) don't have this issue.
99% of the ebay housings are DOT and still suffer from the craptastic light pattern from what they needed to do.

if this were true you could solve the problem by fliping the headlight over. considering it doesnt really matter which end is up or you could just adjust them way over, but its not true, they just have crappy beam patterns.
and as for quality makers, lets not forget our overpriced friend PIAA
I had those Ebay things with the little blue light and halo's. They sucked, they threw light all over the place and were impossible to align correctly. I then got some sealed beam Silverstar's and those were much better. If you want bright, white light without spending a fortune, I'd get Silverstar sealed beams.

i dont get why i dont hear many people post questions about projector headlight conversions for their supra's. I had found a set a while back.. normal housings and "JDM" black housings. Was concidering this for when decide to put some HID's on mine.
If you want some good H4 housings, Cibie makes some of the best- much better than the Hella E-codes.
If you want more light, rewire the headlights (Daniel Stern makes a nice harness if you don't want to DIY), and grab some Cibie's.
If you want HID, retrofit some OEM projectors into a pair of clear lens housings.

what makes ya say that? Im not all that knowlegable about projectors and would prefer somethign pre fabbed as opposed to making my own.
EDIT: what you guys recommend? any prefabbed ones that are good?

There are no pre-fab projectors made for our cars. There are pre-fab projectors that are generic but you are going to have some fab work to make them work in our car.

Some HID fab I work I did was to put TSX HID Projector into H6054 Housing. If I can do it ANY body can LoL...
Cut off before I Aimed the lights.

^ would you mind linking me to more pics what tools you needed, etc this might make a fun summer project. You wouldnt happen to have a pic with your foglights on as well? I wonder if they can still function as foglights lol even with HID's. I know my HID's in my E-Codes made my jdm halogen fogs pretty much useless lol unless i turn off the headlights.
I'm working on doing a wright up. I did the SOGI Fog light rewire long ago so no problem with them turning on. Also I did the Rewire with relay & it really brightened the fogs up. When I switched out to HIDs they still work well. I now have the JDM Yellow lens & may swith them out for OEM Projector Fogs for better light pattern.
Yup, projector and HID FTW!!! I have a legit custom set and they WORK!! not home made, which i do have a set that i made with rx330 projector which works great but needed more fabrication. Anyhow, Steven_N set up is sick due to the TSX projectors, those are ones of the best and has wide light out put. Nicely done!!!! Dont buy ebay housing, IF you want a nice cut off line close to that^^^ what you can do is buy the recommended housings such as Hella E-Code which cost an arm and a leg and use halogen bulbs, any brand bulbs will give you very nice light pattern for halogen housing and bulbs. Hella E-Code will cost around 80-130, if you can find them used that'll be great. I can tell from personal experience with hella. They are great!
