Okay guys, I'm new here and I just finished a retrofit, check it out!

Thanks to Joe for helping me out all the time and VXCL.

And now onto the pictures...















The cutoff pic isn't that great, but inperson the color band is much longer and has aqua, purple, and blue. I'll get some better output pics updated later, thats it for now, thanks.

 

Damn man that looks fantastic. Looks like you did a great job. OH yeah Welcome to the boards.

 

That shit looks real nice. Def get some more pix

 

looks like a good job.. but the cut off isnt that sharp.. still looks awesome though... message me when you plan to sell them

take some shot from the front of the car abou 10 feet away facing the car to see how they look

then take a shot of the cutoff against the wall about 20 feet away

What connector do I need to connect to the hella ballasts? Female 9006???

My HID stuff is in the mail, I'm trying to get the parts together for the wiring harness.

haha a bunch of us not handy enough to do this :P
If i wasn't dealing with such expensive pieces i would do it but i know my luck i destory something thats why i say leav it to the pros

 

i wish i could do more retros i did do some for a while for friends but ive been working mad hours at work and i would love to help most of your out, but i convinced george to do it, it is about a 8 on the difficulty level it takes lots of time and prep to do it, making templates for the projector bowls to cut out the reflectors, i will always say once you cut you never go back cause you cant, youll need a new light so commit to the project and do it, it is lots of fun and the output of the projector and the time you spend on it will pay for itself in the end when you see the results


just some shots for those newbies who havent seen my current setup im STILL WORKING ON

 

New pics of output! I stil need to reaim the right headlight though, too high. I'm also putting in Bosch H3 mini projectors for high-beams soon.













Bosch H3 with a really good bezel i found at home depot, lol


this shit is TINY











Pics were taken with a 7MP Olympus digital camera... mmmmmm

any comments/opinions are greatly appreciated, i love critique

i'm looking forward to coming to the meet on sunday as well, anyone from here gonna be there? the socal meet at fuddruckers...

i'm also getting my d2 coilovers tomorrow but i cant install em since i got UCI orientation :[ hopefully saturday though so my car will be lower when i get to the meet, anyway, i'm getting a lexus graphite grey paint job soon as well, plus removing the side moldings and read emblem, haha.

that and some limo tint, anything else?

peace

 

i REALLY like the output..

whats the temp rating on your bulbs?

 

niccccccccccce

 

hey legendary, the bulbs are 6000K

 

dude you need to really point that down a lot your going up WAY to high

wait to drive onto oncoming traffic you will get flashed all the time like you have your high beams on

nice output though

good retro

 

I think the light is some what earie... But, I sure do like it.

 

Are there any aftermarket assemblies like this already available on the market? I have been looking for a while but could find none.
