Projector headlights are a type of headlight that use a bulb in a steel bowl with mirrors to act as reflectors, but also have a lens that acts as a magnifying glass to increase the brightness of the light beam. They also have a cutoff shield to direct the light down towards the road, resulting in a very sharp cutoff. Projector headlights are significantly brighter than reflector headlights and give off a more even light. They are also less likely to blind other drivers because they are directed downwards towards the road. Projector headlights are visually appealing and have a few benefits over reflector headlights, such as a more focused beam pattern, no dark spots, and a significantly brighter focused spot. However, they are deeper and take up more space within the vehicle than reflector headlights. Reflector headlights, on the other hand, produce a bigger beam pattern that covers a larger surface area than projector headlights. They are also cheaper to produce and arent as deep as projector headlights. It is important to understand which type of headlight your vehicle has before upgrading the headlights.
