Primera Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm looking for anyone on here that has done this before and could help me out. I've got a set of expensive headlights that I'm going to do a retro on but I don't want to screw anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 dude, the kits make it so easy, litterally plug and play thats the easy way out and not the correct way. i think hes talking about taking a projector housing from a car with real HID's and swapping it into his non HID housing.

spankis Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 thats the easy way out and not the correct way. i think hes talking about taking a projector housing from a car with real HID's and swapping it into his non HID housing. That's what I assumed as well. I've seen a few guys do this and only a few were done correctly. You have to leave yourself some serious adjustability in the aiming of the projector because it's basically impossible to rigid mount accurately. Measuring off of a parobolic reflector found on most non-projector headlights is prrreeeetty tough. Basically what I'm saying is don't just mount the projector lense and bracket, find a way to retro-in the aiming mechanism as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
