Brighter and Sharper Headlights? Solution?

mazdaspeed3 · 03-01-2010, 04:45 PM

I was doing some research and it looks like they have started to go with fresnel projectors because it is less distracting for oncoming drivers. I guess that instead of the light appearing as 'all or nothing' with the sharp cutoff, the fresnel lens offers more of a gradient so oncoming drivers aren't as dazzled.

Either way I am going to see if I can just get the projectors clear coated (unless I can find some inexpensive TSX projectors).

before trying to find projectors, try theretrofitsource.com. I've bought a set of 3" ZKW replica lenses and I'm telling you, it's the best $55 I've spent for a set of projectors!

Hey Ghaffar, do you have any other pictures? Did you do some sort of washer mod to get that blue band?
