If you are looking for a brigher and better looking lights than stock u have couple of choices.Ebay diamon cut is pre bright and cheap or best one i have right now is hella h4 conversion headlights with white silverlight bulbs. They give really nice light output and u have a really nice cut close to projector.
H4 conversion headlights with plug and play hid kit is a another option that i wont recoment. They is lots of glare doent matter what headlight you use.
Best option is the retrofit. which getting projectors from cars that have xenon projectors with cutof plate whis gives you the brightest and cleanses look.
what i used
FX bixenon clear projectors
50 watts 6000 k ds2 kit
ebay black projectos housing (i got the cheapest one and its glass not plastic!!)
2 perma poxy stick
black spray paint
this is what i got from ebay, its got a glass which is pre good lol projector in the middle is just a bent glass

bixenon projectors

i heat the headlight in the oven at 350 for 5 10 minutes and then cracked it right open


try to see how i wanna put it in

took the projector a part start cutiing the pieces that i dont need

h_block88

this is what i was gonna do first just cut the headlight in half put a abs plastick with some patter and screw it on but after i cut the headlight i saw that i didnt need to do that just jb wel it on

i cut the headlight about 2.5 in from the bottom



testing the projector in it was a perfect fit



cheking the clearens

h_block88

PROBLEm<!!!
bulb holder was just too long and it was touching the chassy and headlight cover so i need to figue out somethig after. I put the projector almost closes to headlight glass possible so i cant so anything on the headlight thats why i deside to go ahead and finish the headlight doesnt matter if u cant even make it fit...

aliging the projector before putting exoxy stick

outside

inside

its hard already it only takes less than 10 minutes for it to get rock hard


You have t mix both color together with ur finger really really good for it to hold good

i just covered the lens and painted epoxy and inside black just for little better looks

you did a great job man!
thanks for the write up and the time to take the pictures, very creative and much appreciated.

Tho im not a fan of how the headlights will look when the lights are up, cant deny its a clean swap.

Where did you find 6000K D2S bulbs? Are you hooking up the motor for the bixenon? How will you wire that?

I am going to test my cut off tonight but I ended up leaving it silver inside for now.

oh jesus not again

h_block88

its a ebay kit i just wanna give it a try

h_block88

it came out nice. wirring is easy i am just going to use the power and ground from the same plug.

Cool man. I got some actual Osram Sylvania 4300K D2S with the AMP connectors when I got the TSX projectors.


I really like the way yours came out though, I want to see the difference between the highs and lows. I'm losing out on my high beam with the TSX units....

h_block88

Why dont u try to put a driving light in side your bumper lens? i was at pepboy yesterday and i was a driving light that was really skinny and long right size to fit it there.I am still going to do that after this is done
Its been more than a week and i am still waiting for my hid kit to finish this

driving lights inside your ftp lense isnt that great imo.. not what they where meant for.

h_block88

no its only to use for high beam if u dont wanna lose ur high beam

NJGreenBudd

iTrader: (1)

these are going to put out more light than little driving light stuffed behind the ftp anyways. I still might due fog lights but I have to find just the right lamps.

Stock lamps work just fine. I used 3000k's to get the JSpec yellow effect, not to mention yellow is functionally better in fog. Just drill out the centers of the stock fogs bulb mount with a hole saw, and you're good.


Also, I installed PIAA driving lamps with 6000k HID into the grill work. Wired so they go on automatically with the high beams to create essentially a 4 bulb headlight set up.

So do these fit in the car?

I'm assuming they don't because he typed this:

I don't know if you can decipher that gibberish any better than I can.

I just figured he half-assed this project like he half-assed his Elementary School English classes.

lol thats the gibber I was talking about... an awful lot of nice work, its a shame.. should have thought about the fitment prior

Rob, at the time the Morimoto Mini projectors didn't exist. Just as a tip for anyone looking to retrofit, the glass lenses on the H4 housings actually cause a loss in sharpness of the cutoff over the plastic
