projector halo headlights......
#76
Do any of the Ranger projectors give the output you guys are talking about? I'm kind of thinking the way the housing on the truck is is what's causing the difference. Car housings tend to have more of a wrap-around shape allowing the light to escape from the sides so could it be the boxy shape of our housing is causing the limited projection pattern??

Marie, I think you are absolutley correct. I think it has to do with the way the housing is designed. I don't know if there is a way to make them better. I think that the low beam refractor (the piece behind the low beam light that is chrome) is either not angled, or long enough for it to actually spread and cut the beams correctly. The projector housing I think is too small. I'm just guessing here, throwing idea's around. I can tell you the projector housing's that me and monte purchased are not what I thought they were going to be. I was hopeing that the spread would have been better. But I'm going to keep looking into this.

maybe if someone wanted to make some cash...maybe fab up something that matches the rear part of the stock housings so anyone can custom fit their own personal taste of lights....like the hella projectors...then you have custom headlight housings that mount right up to stock locations
anyone interested in trying to fab something up? if i had a ranger over here in afghan country i would have tried but no dice.
anyone????

i jumpered 2 wires so that the low beam didnt lose power when the high beams came on. ill have to dig around to see if i can find the wiring diagram i used. i remember it wasnt that hard to figure out once i saw the wiring for the light switch. hope this helps. ill see what i can find
since you didn't melt anything, i won't worry tooooo much.

the only major re-wiring i did was for the HID's themselves. since the stock wire can not handle turning on and off and supplying juice to the HID's i just used the stock wire to trigger a relay. and took thicker wire from the battery and ran it to the relay then the HID's. hopefully this makes since. if not ill try again after work
