Anyone have two sets of projectors in there quad headlights? I have the mh1 bi xenon in my quads. Have to open them up to replace led halos. JJ got me thinking pretty hard about putting matchbox projectors with led halos in the stock high beam spot.

Is there a noticeable difference in light output with the matchboxes? Do all four projectors stay on with the low and highs? Love the way they look just don't know what exactly what to expect from the matchboxes.

A co-worker of mine came and looked at them. He stood in front. I hit the highs and all 4 fired on.

He put his hands up to shield his eyes and swore to me that he could see the bones in his hands.:mfr_omg:

Ok... maybe that was a little over the top.

Yes they make a difference. I'm not running the fogs when I go to high beams, so the matchboxes take over that portion of the lighting area. Not as wide as fogs, and maybe not as noticeable as the H1 Mini's. Your really not aiming the matchboxes. Kind of hard to.

I went this way because I'm a Canadian eh? No doot aboot it eh?

I have to deal with the DRL's. It also finishes off the lights. Your main source is the Mini's for lighting. The match boxes are supplement lights as they can not be aimed independently.

When all 4 shutters drop, your using the whole projector of all 4, so aiming doesn't really become a factor anyway. I wouldn't depend on just the matchboxes alone on a dark country road. I could do it by turning the lights to off and just run DRL when in gear, but why.

They do look cool as hell and when in DRL mode. Also when off, they look totally custom.... which they are in the land of Recon, Spyder, Spec-D, and factory housing drop in's.

Up to you if the extra $$$ is worth it or not. Could you live without them ... sure. Do you need them?..... depends.

It's a 70/30 split on fashion over functionality. If you rocking DRL's by law, the ratio swings the other way 60/40.

Hope that answered your concerns. Here's a couple of pics o low and hi's with 4 projectors and no fogs. JJ did an awesome job.

I've turned the low so they are bang on level now.

Why not thats how your guys at the retro fit source wired up my harness



He was referring to hi beams and low beams under normal low beam driving. All 4 of mine go on in hi beam mode. It's a quad set up. He asked if all 4 projectors were on in both modes.

I didn't really think about all 4 on all the time when the lights go on. It would wash out the effects of the halo's unless you were up close.

Also with DRL's on either set will be on whenever I'm in gear.
Day or night. I can't just drive around with the halo's only. I was hoping to be able to use the halo's as DRL's, but the cpu won't let that happen. You can't separate the signal.

Love your set up. Looks killer.

And actually all of them can be adjusted you do that like in pic before you put the cover on all 4 are perfect and cant wait to get the fogs in

Little tough as the distance between JJ and myself. They're pretty good.

Hey JJ.... how about everyone that gets 4 projectors.... you pop out your lights and do a test fit???

Actually yes you can just wire the halos to a switch so you can use them when ever

Lol... junk test truck.

Switch can do that but as soon as I'm in gear......High beams are on.

I can have the halo's on by themselves with the park lights on.

These are just halo's and switch back. Can't stop the DRL's
