Here it is...what i have so far..

 

Nice, how much did the parts set you back? I'm almost ready to do my retrofit (FX/TSX) set up. Any night pics?

 

I got those S2000 for 320, and then bulbs for 65.....so around 400 for everything....no night pics yet...my aiming is a bit off...

 

Thats preatty cheap for an S2K set up. Did you do any color modding? bend the shield?

 

you can't bend the shield on the S2000, that shit is thick. Color modded, put two #8 washers. It came out with nice color. I'll have pics up by saturday. I still gotta fix it

 

nice=) this is my next mod...

 

Good Job!!!

 

OEM projectors are the way to go. No kits for me.

 

i have a pic of the cut off, but it's hella off, so please spare me.

 

...omfg thats bright. sick mod and great job man. looks hella clean

 

i always wanted to do a retro, but wondered how the heck do i know what angle to mount the projectors that way when they are mounted, i can properly aim them....

 

you changed your bulb too right? D2R -> D2S ? or modified ?

 

changed my bulbs to d2s

 

well, there's always that chance where you open up your headlights and somehow, you f*ck up. My advice is to be real careful with what you are doing and take your time. Trial and error is the key. I spent at least 3 hours trying to aim the projectors to where I felt it was the correct aiming position. As you can see, the pic with the cutoff on the garage door, it is hella off. The driver side is aimmed a little too low and too much to the right. The passenger is aimmed a bit too high and in too much. So when I'm driving, those beams cross each other like an X. Another thing that is currently wrong is that one projector is color modded and the other isn't. You can see the top beam is very blue, but the bottom one isn't that blue. I'll be taking it all apart this saturday and it should look a lot better than what it is now.

 

Dang, I wish I done did had some of dem projectors..

That is tight!

 

very nice!!!! How are the projectors mounted to the housing.. and how do you aim them?

 

well, i cut the back part of the housing...and drilled three holes and made three holes on the projector. then stuck some bolts threw and screwed them tight. As for aiming...i still have a line marked as to where the cut off should be from my last retro, so i based it on that. but yet, i still had aiming problems..i got more pics i'll show on saturday..

actually, you can see in pic number 5 on top how it's mounted.

 

nice can't wait for more pics

 

check this out....can you see the video? my first time posting a vid

no the vid can't be seen......but you have to do a diy.......

 

Yeah..i'll Do A Little More Detailed Diy For You Guys. Pretty Straight Forward If You Ask Me.

 

Whats up TSXbeauty Looking good mang, as you said yourself, its trial and error. Dont seal them untill you are 100 % satisfied with the output and alignment. Once you go projector you would never look back.

 

lookin very nice!!!

 

Also concerning your question about the light being dim. Well your front lens looks good may be you were expecting a light from above or output that can eclipse the sun .. Here is the thing all the output pictures that you see of others were taken by ordinary cameras with the exposure set to normal, the cams over expose when they take the bright pictures hence making it seems like that HID projectors are 20 times better than reflector set up.

Your set up looks just fine, great choice of projector. S2Ks are the best as you know very well.

 

thanks jnc...haha, you found me! I guess i was expecting something as bright as the sun, but hey, these are close enough. haha. I'm currently putting together a DIY for this project. DAMN! so far, it's 4 pages long with no pictures. Once you guys see this post, you'll know how to install your own retro!

 

Thats sick. It looks great!

 

Great, Its easy if you know the basics, although is intimidating when you first start of the project.

Now only if i can come around and install my quad projector retro .. Finished it 5 months ago and still havent installed it due being busy with work etc.




By the way after you are done aiming it etc, do a small test run with the lights on on a bumpy road if you can to see if the projectors dont shake. Alot of time if they are not properly secured they would shake when you hit a bump and since the cut off is so sharp it will be very distracting.

 

JNC: If your not going to install those quads anytime soon, maybe you should think about selling them. PM me, I'm interested.

 

Nice, i'll be patiently waiting for them quads man. i bet it'll look the mother ship is calling me back. haha.

 

..one quick question about those quads i see the put rings around them what color did you pick......and install them now!!!!!!.......

 

I got the electrical stuff all done, harness wiring and all the switchs etc. I didnt want to hook up the auxiliary to the regular low and hi beam because i wanted to be able to turn them on by themselves rather than being dependent on anything else and the same goes for the CCFL. I loved my TSX retro as well but after a year with them i just got tired of looking at kenny's (haknslash's) TL/ZKW retro and decided to do one on my own :p


The CCFLs are just white no color such as blue etc.. The top of the headlights will be covered by CF Eyelids so it would hide the bit of wire that you see..


TSXbeauty sorry to hijack your thread mang.

 

Again, I dont want to hijack your thread yet i am doing it :p.. Here are some pictures i took back in october when i did the retro..

 

nice

 

Nice work to both myTaLizaS3.2 and JnC! They look great!

 

Too bad I can't do this to my car yet... Maybe next time. lol

 

update : fixed cutoff a bit. Looks better. Still off. Needs work. Uneven ground. Enjoy.

 

What parts are needed for the projector retrofit?

 

Nice. Id like to try this sometime.

 

for us who already have an hid kit, we just need projectors and D2S bulbs. i'm putting together a DIY currently.

 

Do you think projectors from a 2005 MDX will work? They are not HID projectors but halogen.
