Retrofit #2: Better and more expensive

bdeitemeyer · May 21, 2009

The cutoff looks nice, next time take a few pics from in front of the car with different lighting setups...sidemarkers on, projectors on/off, LED strips on/off.

I would suggest going through your group of pictures on the headlights and perhaps getting rid of a few. It seems like there are quite a few that are 99.99% identical to one another.

Overall, nice setup and enjoy.

Waiting till I finish the wiring to do head-on shots, because until it's done, I can't light up the strips and CCFL.

New pics added to page 3 of the album, including the much awaited output shots for the LED strips! All I can say is.... holy s***! Just one strip lit because I managed to somehow break one of the wires on the 194 bulb base so I have to order a new one.

I think u all are starting to inspire/convince me 2 do a retrofit. But could it be done if i used the oem integra projectors? how about my ebay ones?

neither. theyre both halogen projectors.

So theres absolutely no way i could use halogen projectors for a retrofit? It seems like it wouldnt be such a pain in the *** and more affordable compared to using hid projectors from these luxury cars. I dont care too much for hids i just like the look of projectors.

Ummm personally I think it'd be a total waste of looks to use a halogen projector. The reason why is because the lighting coming out of a halogen projector will be yellowish, whereas the HID projectors will have either an almost pure white, or a white-blue hue to the light. But hey, it's your car, we're just here to help.
