Outside beams with round spot in the middle?

[Maluco]

What is the difference with the outside beams that have the round spot in the middle I see on some of you guys cars? It's looks cool but what's the difference? What are they called? Thanks

ellipsoids

edit: they are a projector and are MUCH brighter than sealed beams. Euro ellips are brighter than US ones. BTW you should see my quad ellips :twisted:

[Maluco]

Where's a good place to buy them?

[asubimmer]

euro's or us ellips?

I would either say the boards or ebay

There are 3 types of Ellipsoids. A. US ellips (have black spot) B. Euro ellips (also have black spot. Much better then US ellips.) C. Euro ellips. (have black spot AND black u shaped "smiley" cut out. Same out-put as non smiley)

Euro light use H1 bulbs and US uses 9905/006 bulbs

Check the Forsale forum her as there are alway some up FS or check ebay (thats wher I got my euro's)

smiley? does it look good?

Hell's ya they look good. MANY people have them. The smiley is a tell tale sign that they are euro. The ones I bought are NON smiley so its not OBVIOUS that they are euro's ( a bit on the sleeper side ;) )

Ah, ok. I see the smiley. I actually like the look better without the smiley. What does the smiley do besides making it obvious they're Euro?

apparently it shines a little bit more light down on the gruond or something?

or maybe its to reduce the amount of light that shines upward?

Who make them, what is the name of the mfg?
