Re: My Retrofit

Now, normally no one would consider a typical Morimoto Mini retro to be thread worthy. But here's the clay:

-OEM Stanly headlights
-Black housed
-Chrome buckets and corner
-Morimoto Mini H1 Bi-Xenon
-Mini Gatling shrouds (maybe G37)
-5000K HID kit

So far I have blackhoused only as I wait for the projectors. Then the custom part of this can begin. Wish me luck y'all!

PS: I will be testing the etching stencil on other glass before going right in on the projector lens.

OEM headlights-retrofit done right the first time.. i learned it the hard way.
I guess you can't wait to get the other goodies for the project.
I hope you have a dremel for this project. it comes very handy.
Good luck on the Honda logo etching, another first on 6GA.

I haven't really found another on any cars retrofit, let alone a Honda. Only one was that Lexus

But yeah I have a dremel with quite a few different bits.

Are OEM's really that much more superior?

Umad. Hahaha. Yeah, it'd be useful if you have a dremel or something to cut off a bit of the bottom of the shroud to make it fit in the housing.

Re: My Retrofit

Chevy did a similar thing with the last generation Malibus. There were bowties cut in a ton of things on those cars; side markers, headlight caps, tail light caps.

Re: My Retrofit

That will be very unique for our cars.

Looking forward to seeing how you make it work.
