My fix for the FDs crappy light output
 

hi,
im currently converting my FDs bumperlights into bi-xenon projectors
after i installed my REamemiya sleek kit, the car became downright dangerous to driver at night
i allready have HID lights as fogs but those only work as highbeams
so i didnt have any lowbeam to speak of,
not realy fun to drive with
so here is what i did, installed R-motorbike BI-projectors (E-marked) into the bumperlight turnsignal
the turnsignal i just moved to the park light (cut of and moved the light socket)
i didnt need that anyway since the REkit has park built in


so, here are some pics, tell me what you think


ps. will post nighttime lightoutput pics later

So now you have projectors in your turn signals.. or where it's suppose to be? Post some output pics against a wall for comparsion

so what about your turnsignal man?

His turn signal would be the inner bulb (the orange one). Pretty cool idea, might have been easier to just purchase the feed hid bumper lights if money was no object.

Very cool. Now that's got my little brain thinking about the possibilities...

please please, post up night time pics, i've always wanted to do this, i but i never had the balls to. Everyone kept on saying that the housing would melt.

the feeds suck ass, they as all other crap kits are just foglights, these are Bi-projectors with E-marking (sae/dot) real driving lights

i have a pic, its not 100% adjusted at the moment+ineed to polish the plastic alittle,
but its not that bad to drive with, a biiiig improvement over stock


ps, on the highbeam shot, the lights where to close to the middle and adjusted alittle to much down.
perfect cutof (the little amount of glare is from the chrome on the stock lights

and yes, the signal lights are now moved to the parklight position, works perfekt with osram diadem bulbs

the housings will not melt, as long as you use HID bulbs, they give of less then half the heat that normal bulbs do,even the highpower 55whids arent warm, even after 30mins of them staying on the projector asembly is stil cool enough that i can toutch it without getting burnt






ps, if there are some typos here, its because english is my second language, and im writing while intocsicated:D

ill have to post pics of the custom headlights that im having done when my car is running can we say 4 tri xenon projectors

uuuuh.... tri-xenon? whats that? high,low and reverse? :D:D
hehe

you could change the inner light to a double filament socket so you can still use it for parking and signal

One of the best threads, i've all year! Thanks for the pics!

thats not a bad idea, buuuuut that leaves one problem, colour
i must have a amber singnal , and amber park is not allowed in europe
thats a us only thing
i dont need the park function, the reamemiya sleeks take care of that



i will post more pics later, my setup is currently: bumper bixenon, and 4x55w hid in the re sleeks
pluss hid highbeams as foglights, so if i want to i can have 4x35whids and 4x55w hids on at the same time.
its like turning on the sun:D

I was also going to do the quad retro (2 hid's in one housing per side) then I got lazy. Lets see pics

no tri xeon is basicaly a standard hid bulb in a bi xeon houseing which is a project that has a actuator flap to lower for highbeams. SInce normaly they use bixeon bulbs with this application to dim the light when you put on high beams, if used with just a standard hid bulb you gain what is call tri xeon light output is remarkable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kay8X...layer_embedded.
just thats with the two standard projectors im goning to be useing 4 bmw e34 projectors with a custom bracket and bucket to retain a more sleepy eyed look i will post pics when finished.

uhm, no
thats regular bi-xenon, like mine, they have a motorised shield that moves out of the way for highbeam.
only thing im worried about on theese applications is the durability of the shiels actuator, not that it matters, the REamemiyas take care of the highbeams

ummm thats kinda of weird every single bmw converion over to the tri xeons tell me thats the diffrence, but i could be wrong and im building a sleek kit.

hehe, im pretty confident im right;)
you have your single and bi-projectors.
doesnt matter what bulb is in it.
works the same with both hid and crap(halogen)

That is the coolest looking light setup I've ever seen! I personally think this looks much cleaner than the Feed type lights. Nice work, I had a similar idea to this, but I might just copy this! haha

Where did you buy the projectors?

i got them from this guy, good seller

Sorry to bump an old thread, but do you have part numbers for the projectors or measurements? I'm thinking of doing two of these and adding LED's around the bottom for the turn/parks.

hi. pm me your msn if you use it and i will see if i can help you out

if anyone is interested, theese are the units i used

Hmm, interesting idea and I am digging the look. Which size did you use for the projector? I currently dont have my car with me so I would like to order them up =).
