Are these lighter-weight than stock? Can the projectors be swapped to the new housing? My headlights have all the tabs broken and fit like crap

Pimpo I think you can swap the projector as they appear to be exact same looking so i dont see why it wouldn't bolt in there

Do you have a comparison pic of the light output from those projectors vs oem projectors?

It looks like the eBay seller doesn't have any left, you guys bought them all! Given the crazy price/demand of OEM AP2 lights, i'm surprised there was nothing like this for a while. I suppose some of will have to start looking out for these replicas being sold as genuine. OP, can you maybe post some pictures of any visible differences between the two? Are there any distinguishing markings on the replicas?

I have a set of OEM AP1 headlights with cracked lenses and one housing with cracked tabs. They seem to be worthless given the low demand for AP1 parts, but it would be really interesting to see if the projector units from the AP1 would fit in these knockoff AP2 housings and give them OEM lighting quality.
