Frequently Asked Questions

DRG01 vs DRG02 vs DRG03 - Which should you choose?

The NHK Dragon Series projectors are designed as a performance upgrade path. The main difference between each model is the internal LED configuration, which affects beam width, brightness, and overall road coverage.

DRG01 Silver Dragon (this model)
Features a single bi-focal LED projector lens, delivering a smooth, well-balanced beam pattern. It’s ideal for OEM-style upgrades where you want improved brightness while maintaining a clean and controlled light output.

DRG02 Black Dragon
Upgraded with a dual bi-focal LED system, offering a wider beam spread and stronger hotspot. This provides improved road illumination and a more defined cut-off compared to DRG01.

DRG03 Stormbringer
The most advanced option in the range, featuring a triple direct-illuminating LED setup. Designed for maximum performance, it delivers the widest beam, strongest high beam output, and longest forward visibility.

Colour Output: All models produce a clean 5000K pure white light, similar to modern OEM LED headlights.

Quick choice guide:
✔ Choose DRG01 for a simple OEM+ upgrade
✔ Choose DRG02 for stronger performance and wider beam coverage
✔ Choose DRG03 for maximum brightness and advanced triple-LED optics
