Well i did a search and didn't find anything so here it is folks, I think I'm the first to retro in a set of Evo 8 projectors. I mounted them in a way that i really didn't need to use a shroud since the projector is naturally sealed, that way i still have use of the city light, i also painted over the amber side markers since i was not a fan of them. No night pictures yet but ill get them up later tonight i hope.



With the city light on thats the yellow on the bottom of the projector, you really cant see it well in the day but at night it looks really sharp

The HID's warming up

Just some other random pics


I set the projector as far forward as i could not only cause its a massive projector but also so i lose as little output as i possibly could

I hope you're already planning on getting cutoff pics... b/c that's probably what more than half of the next people to post for.

 

Great job on doing the retrofit. But not my style I still leaning towards the ebay projectors.

 

^^ haha... he's sooooo right.

 

^^^
yeah, then a boat load of people post about how the cut off sucks, and those people either dont have HID's or a retro fit......
very nice!

 

sweet, lovin the painted side markers

 

yeah i have them up late tonight so you don't need to worry and yes the ebay projectors are pathetic compared to factory equipped HID projectors and using HID in the reflector housing is just plain Silly and a waste of money.

 

wow looks good.

 

wow, sweet looking, how long did it take you to do this? thanks.

 

yo man please dont tell me that little red oval sticker is a UTI parkin sticker... is it? so which UTI are u going too?.. and man save ur money that fing school is overrated i went there for 4 months and it was totally freaking ___ and bogus so i quit and moved back home and started saving my money instead of putting it into the crap hole i bought a brand new 06 tC 6 months after i got outta there so i reccomend the same thing that school sucks get out and alotta people look down on u i e dealerships cuz they wanna see what u can do with ur hands and idiot can be booksmart and pass that school but being a mechanic is just all about ur hands and workin with them

 

I'm not really sure what you are talking about with the hands on stuff, because I know a few people who go to UTI and they do a lot of hands on work. I don't really see how any school that is training you for something like that couldn't do hands on training;)

 

looks great , but i would htink about a shroud, possible a e46 bmw one, so that it covers those screws up, but it looks great

 

cutoffs when it gets dark!

 

x2^

 

^^ See...

 

I don't care for the way they look. They look like they have been added on and it gives the car a droopy eye look. Like you would pull down the outer edges of your eyes to make a funny face. So my question is, who is gonna do the Q45 7 lense conversion? I have seen it on a IS300(was an Altezza actually) which has a similar headlight design. Now that was cool and the only way I would do it. The lense will fill up the entire lo-beam opening. So there's my $5 worth of suggetions. Any takers?

 

looking good!!

 

i would so do that.... i just dont have the funds... i friggen love those headlights!

 

Looks amazing. Whered you get them and how much? Got any pics of the install?

X3

Lets see pics of it at night, from inside the car....the more the better.

 

cutoff now please
