NB headlight trade out...
Im tired of my NB stock projectors robbing me of color from my HID's. I know the early model NB's have different headlights. The question is..how different? Different enough that they would be a bitch to swap?? Or does anybody know of any place to buy aftermarkets with no projectors?
also, I notice MS models have blackhousings..any differences there considering a swap?

wow you are a ******* retard.
you should not have HID in a halogen housing you will blind someone and get hit.
the color should be the last concern. you get way better lighting through a projector.
i got my nb with blue hids in it and just switched to a more oem color.
someone jump on this, If this guy is really this stupid. TRADE HIM NOW

MSM lights will be a direct swap. I don't think there's any trimming necessary to put 99-00 on an NB2, but I do think that you will be left with a gap. Usually it's the 99-00 owners that have to trim things to fit the 01-05 headlight assemblies. I also highly advise against putting HIDs in a housing made for halogen bulbs. If you're not happy with the current color output, change the temp of the HID bulbs you have now.

So whats the big deal with putting HID in halogens...everybody keeps saying NO. Ive seen so many cars with HIDs in their halogens including my car crew. They look amazing and I dont feel blinded by them. Low cars dont have to worry about blinding other drivers. Normal sedans blind the **** out of me!!!

I was being sarcastic...
Car "crew" sounds funny, but if you're talking about your car club I apologize.
I despise all the folks running around with chinese HIDs in their stock housings, with complete disregard for other drivers. Halogen reflectors scatter a lot of light when HIDs are put in them. This is not ride height dependent, but is more of an angle issue.
It may not bother you, but it does bother the other 90% of us on the road.
Please only use HIDs in projectors...which focus the light in a level band that only hits the road.
This is coming from someone that has actually tried it. My wife wanted brighter lights in her small car. I put them in, and yes, it was brighter. I made her give them up though when I saw how bad the scatter was, and told her to be content with Silver Star halogens.
Some reflectors are better than others...but most are horribly designed for HIDs.
Also, if you're concerned about color, you must not really be concerned about light. The bluer your HIDs are, the less actual light output you're getting. Do some research.
And remember kids, there's only one letter difference between HIDS and AIDS.
