i wanna do some custom projectors, so can i just go to the junkyard and take some off a car?? or is it that easy? and would i need to take ne thing else to make em work?

 

u woulndt find any of them with the projectors stil on

 

i think i would because i live in spokane and there arent too many people that mod their cars here,
or lets say i do find one with em still on...what would i need to get?

 

Basically, you need the projectors. If you wanted to go xenon projectors, then you would need xenon or bi-xenon projectors, ballasts, and bulbs.

 

i;m not trying to hate but odds are you wont find them but if you do just take the whole headlight, cause the ballast and everythin are incorporated into the headlight in most newer vehicles.

 

yeah....

Bulbs
Projectors
Ballasts

That is pretty much it....you're better off buying them thru Mike cuz he's got quality parts

 

k tight i think im goin this week

 

vxcl...where are you, how much do u want for a full kit? if you have any

 

Last time he said $300+ shipping xenon projectors, ballasts, and d2s bulbs.

 

Thats an awesome price. I paid $360 about a year ago, and at that time, that price was unheard of.
BTW, most luxury cars that have the HID parts your looking for are usually only totaled due to front end collisions, and bad ones at that. The odds of finding a matching set of what you need is slim, i tried it, and had no results. Even if you do find it, theres no guarantee that the stuff works.
I would go through mike

 

are projectors better than hid? or should i just do hid instead?

 

oh yeah, and is install easy on it, or do i have to custom it? ne one got pics of install?

 

You can go many differnet routes. You can get oem bulbs and ballasts and fit them into the stock reflector, Retrofit projectors, or buy a plug and play kit. The only problem with kits is, the quality of some kits are bad (made from cheap parts). IMO, I would use oem parts.

 

I have projectors, they are the best way to go if you want HIDs. Plus you have the added benefit of good looks when they are not illuminated If i had to do it over again, i wouldn't. 100% with my projectors

Install is VERY timey....it took me 30+ hours to install, align, etc.

They have EXTREME output...

$300+shipping is awesome....I paid $395 + shipping for my Bi-Xenon setup a while ago....but that was Bi-Xenon

just make sure you have a dremel....no dremel = no install basically

I trie dto do it w/o a dremel...failed horribly lol

 

so we gotta cut up the headlight?

 

whats the difference from reg. xenon and Bi-xenon??

 

i think reg is just lows, and bi is high/low...am i right?

 

maybe i can find some headlights at the junkyard and do the install on them and just replace the ones in my car

 

yea bi-xenon is hi/lo

yes you have to cut up your headlights...once u start, you have to finish

but once u finish....you'll say that it was worth it

you mostly cut up the reflector

 

hey wakeboard if you find or know of a good pull your own part junkyard in spokane let me know! I'm just down in moscow ID, the 1 import junk yar di know of in spokane catalogs most of their stuff

 

^^pull n save is the only one i know of, then there is spaldings, and whities

 

mike is out of parts i think at the moment, i sell xenon parts too, and my shops i work with have been VERY slow

i would giev it a week or so

 

lexus d2s ballasts and bulbs $200!! no projectors at this time. possible s4 if a prior deal falls through.

it is very unlikey u would find xenon parts still on a car in a scrap yard.

 

hey vxcl i i'm lookin for projectors too. i got a hid kit in my car rite now, they are 9006 bulbs do u know what kinda car i should be hunting for at the wreak yard to rip the projectors out of?

 

xenon/bi-xenon's dont' use 9006...they use d2s...

but for 9006...you might try an integra projector since thats what plugs into it....

 

or try a h7 projector those are 9006/5 base

i have a set, they are stuck together, but only have the driver side, but its off a lexus es 300

 

exactly what i was gonna say. will be much better then what you have but still wont compare to a d2s projector setup.

 

thanks for the advice but i have one more question. after u cut the hole in the reflector what do u use to hook up the projectors to the reflector?

 

if you dont want to use screws, bolts, etc then i highly recommend quick steel. you can find it in any auto parts store. one thing is though once its in its prob never coming out if you ever want to change anything or adj it. that stuff is no joke!

 

the Quick Steel stuff is the SHIT

you can also use, "Magnum Steel" thats what i use and its just the same shit

I did not find it at my Home Depot but I found it at a ACE Hardware

 

AWSOME! can't wait to get started. Thanks guys

 

hey 97Acura3.0CL could u give me some more info on the lexus projectors?
