HID Fog Light and Headlight Retrofit Done with PIX!

Finally I am able to post pix of my completed retrofit project for both headlights and fog lights.

Fog lights are from Lexus ES300 connected with 3000k HID kit. Projectors are from Nissan Murano with clear lens swap and 6000k bulbs.

On a constructive criticism note, I think you should raise the projector up alittle in the housing. It looks a bit odd not being in line with the high beam.

I completely agree! The projectors I used are a little to big and was not able to have them any higher to be parallel with the high beams...

What I should have done was use TSX projectors since there a .5" smaller. That way I would have been able to have them a little higher up.

I will try to post more pix in a little while of light out put and rack

Yea, it took me alot of trial and error to get them aligned the way I like them.

Is this your first retro?

Can you also take some better pics of the fogs? It looks like you cleaned them up a bit but its hard to see in the pics. Also, what shrouds did you use?

Are the Murano's full bi-xenon? Did you hook them up for that function? TSX projectors are great and small, but they're not bi-xenon. Just wondering, because you said you should have used TSX which is what I have.

Otherwise, the retros look great

yea i hate to say it, but the retro looks odd with the lights not in line. looks "droopy". That being said, I know they're not, and I appreciate the work.

Bi-Xenon > TSX

Yea, TSX isn't bi-xenon, but I love mine.

I thought about the TL projectors but they are huge. My next set is bi-xenon though. Im taking more time on them then I did my first retro to make them look 100% OEM.
