Inquiry about Octane Lighting solutions for firebirds
Just looking for any reviews from people who have lights similar to these:
https://www.octanelighting.com/p-660...-h4-bulbs.aspx
These look too good to be true for a low-price, plug-and-play solution for halo projectors!

That is NOT a projector, just a lens in the bulb that doesn't do anything near what a projector does

Yep what Scooter said, those are not projector headlights.
It's just a glass bowl in front of the bulb, and all that is going to do is scatter light all over the place.
I actually have a pair similar to these for my high beams, they are strictly for looks. I have bi Xenon HID Projectors in the low beam spot and I needed something with a similar look as the lows when the lights are off. There is no way I would rely on those for normal driving, they are terrible.
