Hoblick Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 who has done it?what did it cost you?and do you wanna help?on my R6 it had projectors in it already, granted they werent the best projectors, but when i put the DDM hid kit in it worked great compared to what a standard headlight housing does (scattered light)i want to get some HIDs for the viffer, but i wont do it unless i can retro fit some projectors in it.basically what im looking for is some projectors for halogen bulbs, H4, H7 whatever.reason being i really like the DDM HID kits, they are a great price, install is super easy (plug and play and work with factory wiring),reliable, and i had them on the r6 so i have experince with them.

BornSinner Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I used Projectors for a R1, only because another member on the zx10 board did it first....so I head some help before hand.....I really liked the look on the projectors but they bounce a bit.....so I need to fab up some brackets to hold them better....

natedogg624 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 my neighbor makes retrofit applications for a living, brings in good money too with his fucking M3 and GT2 in a campus apt garage...i can talk to him if you'd like, but i have a feeling with your skills you will just end up DIY.

It is easier and much less costly to let someone else fuck it up first, and learn from their mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easier and much less costly to let someone else fuck it up first, and learn from their mistakes+1, have you checked the VFR forums for the retrofits? I think it'll look great with some projectors tho! Cant wait to see a DIY thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
