Head light comparison,-- Projector, Diamond cut, others

[92nsx]

I am wondering what you guy use for aftermarket head lights. Maybe even post pic. of lights at night. Theres Diamond cut,black Diamond cut, diamond projector cut, and black diamond projector cut. Theres also the "halo" light but not my cup of tea since our lights are square. I like how projector lights on nsx's has a straight line on the road at night. I am also planning a HID conversion. Just want to see what you use and see some pics. like or dislike.

Hella E codes

I hear a lot about these E codes. So i am guessing they are the cream of the crop, the cats meow. Do they have a cut off point? Like a straight line at the end of the light at night?

The hella E codes have a very sharp beam pattern cut off line. i have a pair on my car aswell. i love them. I had a friend redo the wiring to the wat the european supras headlights came wired up and put in some higher wattage bulbs and havn't looked back. the difference is amazing over my old set up.

Those are probably ebay head lights you are talking about. Do not get them. They suck. I was running a pair which I got for free and they would glare like no tomorrow.

On my last 89 supra i ran ebay dimond cut and they worked great. 100W bulbs i think like 6000k and at the time they were like $45 shipped. They just didnt have a cut off line like a NSX. They were tons better then the stockers i was running before them.

no cutoff = blinding oncoming traffic

I HATE them, H4 housing and Hella E Code are the best. The ones on ebay are crappy, they have very bad beam pattern....as a matter of fact,there are no beam pattern at all. They sucked!!

People often are fooled into thinking that brighter is always better. Diamond Cut eBay headlamps only glare more and throw light in places you dont want them. For drop in replacements, the Hella eCodes are best value. If you find E-Code Raybrig, they are good as well but are much more expensive. If you perform a projector retrofit with good projectors, you will get the best overall performance.
