Halo Projector Headlights

Headlights have become a bit of a hot topic in car modding circles in recent years, mainly because of the introduction of halogen projector headlights. There are a lot of rumors and misconceptions about halo projector headlights, but they do have some distinct advantages and might be the right choice for your car. In addition to providing great visibility at night, they also add a cool upgraded look to your car.

What Are Halo Projector Headlights, and Are They Legal?

Halo projector headlights are vastly different from traditional car headlights, which work using a reflector system. Reflector headlights have a set of bulbs inside the light itself, and are lined with a special reflective material. The light from the bulb bounces off this reflective material and out onto the road.

Halogen projector lights have special projecting bulbs (hence the name) that actually shoot the light directly out onto the road. The main advantage of this design is that these lights can be carefully adjusted to provide maximum illumination just where you need it. People that use them rave about the fact that they no longer have a dark spot in the middle of the road–a common problem with traditional headlights, particularly when you have the high beams on.

The problem with some projector headlight kits is that they are actually designed for use in Europe, and the bulbs are angled specifically to hit European road signs (which are mounted at a standard height by law). These lights are often not legal in the U.S. because they don’t work well with our street signs and some drivers find their light distracting.
