Some video taken to show the output/cutoff of a G1 projector and the cutoff line color. Bulb color is 6000k here but I plan on swapping for a pair of 4300-4500k bulbs if I can. I asked for 4300k but they sent me 6000k and "marked" the box 4300k. Ugh.

  • Not necessary, I went out and bought a set myself and am halfway through installing them. I like them a lot although I did have to replace the 2 black screws holding the metal shield inside because the threads were stripped. I used a #4 sized bolt and carefully tightened them up.

    Did you adjust the cutoff color? If so, how?

  • @JasonWW2000 What's not necessary? No, I didn't adjust the cutoff color. In fact I did not take the projector apart at all. It was just like that when I installed them. I have Morimoto Mini H1's now, go to my channel and you will see footage of that one. Much better than the G1.

  • Great video. I'm giving it 5 stars. :)

    Do you have any pictures of your headlight housing or how you installed them?

  • @JasonWW2000

    I can get a pic of them in my headlight housing if you would like. Installation is very easy, the most meticulous part is baking your headlights. I personally do 300F for 8 minutes, however I heard a lower temperature such as 200F will not melt the lenses, so you can leave them in longer in case you "forget" they were in there. It's a very easy install though. Tweaking the cutoff line is something I was able to do after everything was already installed.

  • Ah okay.. I am like you, I have ordered 6k but I think I will change to 4300k..

    The output will be brighter, will be a hint of yellow so I hear, but that being said, means the blue cutoff should look nice being contrasted with the 4300k compared to the 6k.

  • @jimtimlisa

    Yeah you can see it on street signs and stuff. I'm in a 3" lifted Tacoma.

  • Good Good.. your in a lifted truck? Mind me asking what type it is? It looks sorta like a hyundai from the front, but its pretty dark.

    Also, can you see that blue cutoff when your driving?

  • @jimtimlisa

    The video was taken with low beams, notice the construction vehicle and the cutoff line that is projected onto it. The blue that is above the cutoff becomes easier to see at long distances.

  • @jimtimlisa

    I'm glad you are looking to make your HIDs legal! Haha. I know I used to piss people off when I pulled up behind them at a stop light because all the glare caused their entire interior to light up like a Christmas tree haha. That is no more, no matter how close I get, and I'm in a lifted truck!

  • Also, was this vid taken with the high beam or low beam?
