Projector Headlights - how is it better

[jvdejesus05]

i think most thread posters are being confused with the topic already... imo, we should have a seperate thread regarding the use of angel eyes... let's just keep the topic to the effectivity of using projector headlights vs regular headlights...

StraightSix: sir to answer your question, angel eyes doesn't have a thing to help with road illumination, it's only for aesthetic purposes...

I think the difference is mentioned here from Wikipedia. See boldfaced part.

Projector (polyellipsoidal) lamps

Projector optics, side view



Projector headlamps



In this system a filament is located at one focus of an ellipsoidal reflector and has a condenser lens at the front of the lamp. A shade is located at the image plane, between the reflector and lens, and the projection of the top edge of this shade provides the low-beam cutoff. The shape of the shade edge, and its exact position in the optical system, determines the shape and sharpness of the cutoff. The shade may have a solenoid actuated pivot to provide both low and high beam, or it may be stationary in which case separate high-beam lamps are required. The condenser lens may have slight fresnels or other surface treatments to reduce cutoff sharpness. Recent condenser lenses incorporate optical features specifically designed to direct some light upward towards the locations of retroreflective overhead road signs.
The first modern polyellipsoidal "projector beam" automotive lamp was the Super-Lite, an auxiliary low beam produced in a joint venture between Chrysler Corporation and Sylvania and optionally installed in 1969 and 1970 full-size Dodge automobiles. It used an 85 watt transverse-filament tungsten-halogen bulb and was intended to extend the reach of the low beams during turnpike travel when low beams alone were inadequate but high beams would produce excessive glare. Projector main headlamps first appeared in 1983. Developed more or less simultaneously in Germany by Hella and in France by Cibie, the projector low beam permitted accurate beam focus and a much smaller-diameter (though much deeper) optical package for any given beam output. The 1986 BMW 7 Series was the first to use projectors for low beams.

[choyskie]

guys,im new here.. kasi i like to change the headlights of my car to a projector type one kaso hindi ko alam kng meron ako mabibili na para sa car ko.. by the way my ride is a 1998 or 2000 model ng CRV.. hope you guys could help..

[kompressor]

To put it in simple terms, pag projector nakadirect ang buga sa isang specific area and walang glare kasi the light is cut off sa area na hindi sakop ng aim niya. It results into all the light directed sa target area, which is mas maliwanag. Parang spotlight.

Perfect combo ang HID and projector headlamps coz maliwanag ang buga sa target area pero di nakakasilaw ng kasalubong. Unlike sa mga halogen assemblies na hindi malinis ang cut off, resulting to a lot of glare pag kinabitan ng HID kits.
