    not bad, this will come in handy for those that don't want to hack up their 1pc headlights! i know i wouldn't if or when i get a pair. Might give these a try after i see some people on here wit em and read more reviews, since i was already planning a TSX retrofit. Ill wait now! Thanks for the post

      What's really nice is if you ever wanna sell your car or something, you can take the projector out and put it in your next one.

          Now the way you mount this projector is quite simple. There is a threaded collar on the back of the projector which threads through the bulb hole on your stock headlights, then you screw a collar on the back and essentially sandwhich the projector and reflector together. You then place a projector shroud over the front of the projector. It uses an H1 hid kit bulb which can be bought cheap from places like ddm. No cutting is involved, just open your headlights place the projector in, put the shroud on and close your headlights back up and you have a retrofit with output that will be comparable to TL's.

            Those remind me of my old set of headlights on my beater:

              The only thing you have to do to wire up the high beam solenoid is to splice into the 9005 high beam plug. I will probably just make a y harness to be able to run the halogen high beam bulb as well as activate the high beam solenoid in the projector.

              You don't have to buy the harness, the harness is only really needed for cars with bulbs like h4 and 9007 which have the high beam and low beam in one bulb.

                damn...that's not a bad price...worth getting a set just to test really. Might have to do that. I've been wanting some low beam HID's...and I really don't have the time/place/equipment to do a proper retro.

                can't see the pics...at work...but if the light output is as good/better then this is really worth it for me.

                crazy how aftermarket parts are catching up, in some areas, to what customizers are looking for. Though I would still eventually want to do a bmw or 350z retro...just love how those things look on our cars.

The cutoff shield is a SHIELD, it shields other drivers from being blinded by a high beam projector which is essentially what you made. I can also guarantee you the the ebay projectors you have which are halogen projectors are nowhere near as wide as the minis posted or the TL or any other HID projector, not even close. yeah they may shine far, but I guarantee they are like pencil beams with the hotspot shining straight in front of the car and nowhere else. But now they are just high beam projectors.
                      Sorry if I am coming off as somewhat as a douche, but the one thing I can't stand is driver who only think about themselves and not the safety of other drivers.
                      great advertisement there buddy.

                      i dont like cheap projectors. its visibility, thats something you dont cheap out on. id rather go with some bmw or tsx projectors than some ebay looking ones
