Why change the headlights?

Because on a stock housing when using HID's your going to be blinding everyone in sight. Their not made for HID usage.

Now with using a set of projector headlights from ABM you wont have this issue.

Even going to a set of E-code lenes will help more then stock headlights.

 

Which C70 do you have? Do you have the 1gen, or the 2nd gen?

 

I have 2003 C70 convert. I live in a small town where all the roads for 50 miles are two lane , doudle yellow and 45 mph. , small hills and very twisty. My biggest driving danger is deer. I have installed piaa bulbs... head lights and fog. I have also installed a set of Piaa yellow fogs. Like most people I drive with my lights on ALL the time. Mostly so those people who pass on double yellow coming the other way can see me coming. It happens here a lot. I used to do that on my motorcycle but not anymore.... changed bikes...new one is slow... Yamaha Venture... for that kind of driving !

Your 03 will have the jewel reflector style lamps. Numerous posts on the subject, but most will agree that using a projector to aim the light will give you better light output. If I had to drive where deer was a big factor I would look more into an IR camera/screen setup than newer lights. Something like the Pathfinder setup.

 

hmmm... interesting.Ive seen cars with discoloredyellowish headlights which are using HID bulbs. Im not sure if the headlights have plastic lenses though.Paging the experts
