Morimoto/Mini H1 Projector retrofit + more

[Raul]

they look great! so absolutely no cutting involved? i hated that part of my retro

Yes snap on. However they are too big for our housing so you either have to trim the shroud or trim the bottom of the reflector. I tried trimming the shroud but by the time you took enough off the shroud is way too flimsy, I ended up snapping one so for the time being I'm running shroudless until I get more time to pull the headlamps back apart.

Yeah you just need to replace the 9006 with an H1. You will more than likely need to trim the H1 bulbs to fir into the holder. I know I had to with my DDM H1's.


Headlamps are completed and put back together. They are naked for now (no shroud) until I get more time to take the headlamps back apart and trim the reflector/shroud so they'll fit. They are pretty sick and wide. Nice blue/purple flicker. I need to do a little more adjusting and trimming on the bulbs but other than that I love them. I'll try and get some pictures up tonight and start the DIY/HOW-To soon. It is pretty stupid how simple all this was actually. Oh and the high beam on these + OEM is just ridiculous.

Do you mean the stock OEM 9005 highbeams + the low beams (since you didn't wire the bi-xenon you said)?

Got them 95% done last night. I just need to go pick up some wiring for the Bi-Xenon & LED's. Here is some teasers. These have NOT been aimed properly yet.

Which is why I asked, I think he just has the low beams and the fogs on in the pictures.

WOw these look great for only 160!!

Bi-xenons are wired directly into the oem high beam harness. They are stupid bright with both high beams.

How do you plan on putting on the shroud? jbweld?

damn loooks legit man. cnt wait to see the final pics of everything installed. I might have to pick up an extra set of headlights soon.

I'm jumping on these as soon as I get some cash. I might not do the bi-xenon feature since I'll need to buy the harnesses for that. If anything, I'll just wrap up those wires and do that in the future when I get some more cash. What did you mean as in cutting the bulb? You can't just shove the DDM one inside?

Reserving and supplying information for the time being. Should be doing this DIY within the next couple of weeks.

As many of you know I started a RX330 retrofit last year and bailed on it mainly because I did not have time but the lack of information. I have decided to take another look into retrofits. I wanted something easy, cost effective & great performance. I looked into the FX-R, TSX, s2k etc.. All great projectors but one problem, they require you to mangle your headlamps. Which I never liked the idea in the first place. So I started looking around and found a few alternatives;


I obviously decided to go with Morimotos. These little projectors are amazing. The output is great, the width is great & the bi-xenon is awesome too. They require NO CUTTING.. yes you read right NO CUTTING. The bulb holder fits perfectly in the OEM 9006 bulb hole and secures with a alignment/locking nut. You simply bake open your headlamps and stick them in. You may be asking about rotational adjustment, it's simple; pull the bulb stick your finger in the hole or grab the projector with pliers and turn until level. With these projectors you can also utilize your existing PnP HID kit ballasts (if you have them), you'll just need to purchase H1 HID capsules. That is the only real downside I have found to these so far, you have to use an H1 bulb, d2s will not fit. I know some of you may be questioning the strength of the reflector and the weight of these, they weight about 10oz.

wow funny how you make it sound like you were the one that found and researched all of this information on your own

come on bro at least give credit to the people that practically spoonfed you the answers
