I just got the black ace projector lights for my 03 Grand Cherokee and the low beam and high beam bulbs that came with the lights arent impressing me at all. Seems like they arent "projecting" at all. I really want that bright blue look. I didnt know if different model bulbs are used with the projectors or if they are the same model. Need advice

blue tint decreases light output.
Try the "cool blue" bulbs or regular silverstars to try and get the color you want.
Or, you can get something functional and super bright like silverstar ultras which have no coating, therefore nothing to reduce the light output.
Of course, you could also get a HID kit

projectors are meant for HID bulbs not standard halogen bulbs.
