Default projector retro fit

ok so here is my head light write up. as mentioned before i had plenty of time to work on these because hilldweller donated his old head lights to me. the projectors were ordered at theretrofitsource.com i had the hit kit already,but you can buy one for pretty cheap at ddmtuning.com they got one for about 30$




1st step and probably the hardest was to bake the light at 270 for about 10 min to remove the lens


2nd step was to trim about an inch off the bezel aswell as under the bezel to give the projector a snug fit



3rd i took a dremel and began to cut a hole. little at a time not to over do it


4th i secured the projector to the housing using 10/32 screws


5th i sprayed the bezels black. i want nothing to do with chrome. then i glued on the halo ring

6th i then sprayed the inside of the lens with vht spray tint for the blackout look. sanded it down with 2000 grit for a smooth finish. i sealed the lens back wired it all down. i connected the halos to my blinkers

and there you have it. for a little under 280$ you can make custom projectors. any questions i will be happy to answer. check out my other threads for more builds.

Very clean work, nice job.

In the process of retrofitting some BMW hi/low HID's to my H4 housings as well, thanks for the pics.

What kit do I need to buy? Did you install ballasts, or is it just the projectors?
