Mod Guide: Hid projector headlights install
#12
Question, the bulb sizes.... are they universal? ex. a chevy that requires H3 bulbs would usethe exact same H3 bulbs that a nissan would use?

An H3 for a chevy is the same as an H3 for a Nissan, lol.
Yes the projectors do use H3 type bulbs..That being said, light output is PATHETIC. H3 is a really small fog light type bulb...Hell, the newer montes dont even use them as fog light bulbs, they use H11s.
Actually, if you want to get real technical about the projectors they actually take H3C. This is even smaller. And H3 will fit and be slightly brighter, but you will have a stupid looking light pattern.
My Projectors recently just **** the bed, after about a year of use. The lens and casing kept separating no matter what i did, and eventually the aiming wheel stopped working. So I went back to the stock headlights, Got some H11 Hid Bulbs, and am alot happier then I was with the projectors. Aimed conservatively low to prevent blinding other drivers, the light output is still alot better.
