Arrow GB #2: FC3S bi-xenon hid retrofit!

This is what will be included with each kit:
Oem quality 35w ballast
Oem quality 4300k d2s bulb
PNP wiring harness
New headlight housing
Bi-xenon projector with clear lens
Alcohol wipes for bulbs



This kit is designed to be a true PNP application no messing around with spacers or cutting up your car! The install will be as easy as changing a burnt out headlight. My kit offers a bi-xenon (high/low) projector with a unique mounting point which saves on labor cost and the housing does not get cut up to fit the projector. The end result offers a very clean setup.


Price is $495 if we can get five people to sign up then the price will go down to $470!


Here is what they will look like



What's included


E55 shroud



E46 shroud



Back of projector



Projector cutoff



I am very experienced in retrofitting many different cars and I want to give back to fellow 7 owners with a quality kit at an affordable price. To show my craftsmanship below are some examples of retrofits I have done:



Subaru Impreza




Miata




FD3S with e55




FD3S with e46

If anyone wants to have Philips 85122+ bulbs instead of the Morimoto I can do that for an extra $45.

Which bi-xenon projector is used in these retrofits? Do you have pictures of the low/high beam comparison cutoffs?

Just to confirm, do you have the FC units in stock as of today?

Thanks for your contribution to the community!

I use the mini d2s it is only one that I could fit that didn't require cutting the frame.

I usually don't stock the retrofit's I make them on demand and it takes about 3 weeks for you to receive them.

The glass housing look exactly the same but the cutoff is not as crisp as seen in the photos.

Okay so the solenoid is activated by the high beam switch I guess. Can you please show pictures of the low and high beam patterns?

This sounds great though, I so missed my high beams when I did my TSX retrofit.....

Any pictures of the cutoff then on an FC? I'm definitely interested in a set this summer when I can make some extra cash.
