ima noobie to all of this car terms sorry

Here goes some technical terms:

Normal headlight:
Diffusing and aiming on the front lense (the ridges which makes it hard to see into the light
assembly).
Reflector is just a single surface (smooth) parabola.

Paras (MSPR: Multi-Surface Parabolic Reflectors):
Diffusing and aiming is done by the multiple surfaces of the parabolic reflector
Front lense is clear and you can see the light bulbs (some have a light bulb cover).

Projector:
Uses a convex lense to aim and diffuse the light.
Type 1: Uses normal light bulbs as above.
Type 2: HID - High Intensity Discharge (the Mercs, BMWs etc).

Since it is a colloquial abbreviation of the word paralytic... I would say not :)
