Default A6 Projectors **56K Death**

Custom backplate by Tiguy, projectors from Slawek. Not sure which year these came out of but they are very rare in that the cutoff is sharp wide and very colorful. The spread is about 4 car lanes wide, I'll try and get some late night freeway pics.They also have the unique rainbow effect seen in S2K and TL projectors Lucky me. I know I went pic crazy sorry, but enjoy.

I road around with one Phillips 85122 and Osram Xenarc for about 2 months til color shift to compare the two heres the outcome. Phillips is the passenger Osram the drivers. I actually prefer phillips because the output is pure white and sharp versus Osrams soft violet tinge. I'll get a wall shot tonite with the two.

Thanks Romin Heres some more night pics of the housings. Also note in the 1st pic my car is parked uphill this is when hid is most glaring. As seen on my previous wallshots little to no glare bleeds above the cutoff. Just what standard projectors with rippled lenses give.

man, i am still amazed by the result. must have paid a fortune for them huh, or not?

i like projectors more than reflectors too now. have that on my sc430 and it's definitely more defined as my gs400

I love the purple violet blue aqua and white flicker a good projector will give you, dot valeo with clear lense, s2k, tl, sc430 with clear lense and my lucky set of A6's. 6000k wasnt bright enough and the constant purple spread annoyed me. Thats one reason I dont use 4100k osrams because of the violet tint to them and phillips 4100k in reflectors pure white and just plain boring. But combine a projector and phillips bulb youll have all the color you want above the cutoff and a nice white spread on the ground.
