Going through my garage, I found my old morimoto mini-H1 projectors and decided to play around with it. Result.....







I didn't have an extra pair of ballasts to test them out yet since I gave my last set away. Any one have an extra set of 35W amp connection ballasts for sale?

how well do they work for you... how many people do you blind at night?

silver3.5

It depends....

I haven't tested them yet thus hard to say how many will i blind. I'll get back to you on it once everything is all set up!

I guess I would want thenm just as you have it (headlights and foglights). I was looking at the retrofit website and I suppose we couldn't do the ACURA TL / ZKW-R LENS projectors because they would be too big correct?

Projectors in the fogs seems like a tight fit haha. Nice job.

I purchased some cheap hid kit on ebay for the fog lights and plug them in. I wired up the bixenon wires as well and will be testing them out tonight when it gets dark. But here are some updated pics, along with some interior shots:

Nice, like the color scheme

Thanks! I used to have silver carbon fiber wraps on the center console to go with the door inserts but thought I change it up a little and went with black. I like black better.

And some updated night pics....

Just the fogs are on; they are cheap ebay 5000K H1 kit:


Headlights + fogs; the LS430s at 55w completely drowned out the fogs.


Low beams + halogen high beams + H1 bixenon on; I moved the car a little bit to the left:


Can't even tell the fogs are on:


High beams are on:


From behind...low beams + fog:

Excuse all of the overexposed pics, as my iphone just isn't cut out for taking quality night time pics!

So much light!! Looks great! I'll definitely have to look into the LS430 projectors.

Couple of questions...
-The carbon fiber wrap, did you just put it over the leather? The leather on mine is poofy and i'm afraid it wouldn't stick well, or did you use a special adhesive?
-I see you added the 2 tweeters from the 04 models, how hard was it to install those and did you just plug into the existing speaker wire in the door?

For the door inserts, I took out the original leather and padded the carbon fiber cloth to make it puffy. The door switch trims are carbon fiber cloth as well! I tried the cloth on the center console but due to its thickness, it didn't fit properly so I used 3M carbon fiber vinyls instead. Everything had to be taken apart to do the install.

For the tweeter, I bought the tweeter covers from an 04 and use my original tweeters. The wires from the tweeters reach all the way up so I didn't need to cut and extend. Some trimming of the tweeter covers was needed to fit properly and is glued onto the door panel.
