Got my Projectors.
Got my Projectors.
I didn't want to wait around since I have shows and stuff.... So I got the ebay ones which are the same as the group buy ones just the LEDs on the side. Am I going to do a review?? no.. it's simple... there made in Taiwan by a huge company and sold them to little places who sell them to you for more to make a dollar. Does it make a difference who you get them from?? no... they all came from the same factory.... There better then OEM thats it thats all. And here they are.
EDIT: More pics. The Angels are used as my Daytime running lights, the projectors are now my night lights, and LEDS as my turn signals.

Re: Got my Projectors.
I understand not wanting to do a full writeup, especially since Jesse did one already, but I would appreciate some better glamor shots of what the lights look like w/ the halos and LEDs on and how the housings look from the front + sides. Besides, how can you resist taking nice shots of your car?
Re: Got my Projectors.
Well with the limited room I have I can not get good shots and that was about 30 min after I got them. no outside shots since my car does not come out of the garage till all the snow is gone.

Re: Got my Projectors.
i got these in chrome coming in... kinda disappointed to see they don't have those rubber insets that cover the edge of the fenders like the ones from the GB do. more OEM looking. are you not hooking up the halos??
Re: Got my Projectors.
Actually these do come with the rubber piece, same as the other ones.... Since they are made in the same warehouse as the other ones.... Though it's not thick enough so I removed mine and now have the original ones on there they look much better now.
I am hooking up the halos to my parking lamps so they will be on at all times.

Re: Got my Projectors.
First off, these are some nice projector, but one thing i have to correct the one that we made vs. these option projector are from different manufacture and is a whole different company, the one we carried is from Sonar manufacture from Taiwan. Obviously you can check their boxes, They are different and also the way they made might be similar but i can be sure those are not the same company and manufacture. Just to let you guys know. thanks. Enjoy the projector.colinsmx3 wrote:Actually these do come with the rubber piece, same as the other ones....

Re: Got my Projectors.
hmmmm odd.... thats what my box said also....
You honestly think there is a chance that 2 huge places said "hey theres no projectors for the MX3 lets make them!" and had them come out 3 days after each other without knowing there was some comming out at the exact same time for such a rare part.
I know you are just trying to keep as many ppl on the GB as you can so you can make your dollar, everyone has to. Nothing against you but your just the middle man selling the lights from the main company like the rest of the Ebay sellers.
Back on topic!

Re: Got my Projectors.
sure, i'll be happy to post up pics... i'm getting a new bumper tho, so it will have to wait for that, unless you want to see what it looks like on a bashed up mx lol.
colin, good to hear it's got the rubber. i saved my OEM ones too, but i don't quite recall where i put them, so i'm glad it comes with it -- and that there's a spot for it.
did you wire up the leds on the sides as park lights too? i was thinking i would use them as turn signals, i but i won't bother if they're not that bright, which is how it seems in the pics...

Re: Got my Projectors.
i wonder if 1 comapny made the clear covers for a company that made the rear part (bulb housing) then they turned to a partner company and said here, buy our clear cover and screw these other guys who think there is an mx-3 market.
Just like the companies over there that sell fake ipods cause they get parts from the real ipod companies

Re: Got my Projectors.
I didn't wire up the LEDs yet.. I am not sure if I am going to, if anything they will be turn signals and the Angel eyes will be the all day lights. I pretty much opend the box and bolted them in and pluged the socket in and that was it since I was putting the engine back together... I will do the rest tonight.

Re: Got my Projectors.
Yeah. Those look good. I'm sure there will be more glamour shots soon. The ones I got had the correct thickness of the rubber trim. I'm not fond of the little "futuristic" lines above the lights on the inside.
