I was wondering if anyone has modified the bBist/Ebay projectors into actual hid's. Have some hid parts lying around and was looking to see if anyone has completed the swap.

hey, i was wondering if its possible to cook projectors too? like to paint the housing a diff color instead of black/chrome? say a color matching? if so, will it ruin the projector lens or anything? and IF I CAN how do i do it? just like regular, or what?

 

i have HIDs in my sonars...





i actuly sent a set of sonars to be colormatched to my car... they cam back and didnt look good at all.. the design of the headlights really let the paint pool in some areas... and there were also runs in it... IMHO... not the best idea out there, but then again, im a perfectionist, and if you dont mind a little run in the paint then go for it... it cost me $80 to paint them, i can see that question coming...

hopes this helps a little

 

looks good, what projectors did you swap in (much trimming required)??

 

will hid h4's work if we get aftermarket headlights? if not what's the corerct bulb size for the sonars? and halo headlights (if the two are any different?)

 

i didnt swap in any projectors... these are made for our car with the single projector...

the sonars are a 9006 bulb for the proj, and a 9005 for the highbeam...

 

hey guys, well i need a question answered for me, i dont know if ANYONE knows the bulb sizes or how to take the things off to find out, but this is the projectors i have now, and the bulbs are very low, the driver side is way out and dim, the pass side is bright and in the middle, looks ****-eyed ahah anyway next post is going to have the pic of my projectors

 

 

your proj bulbs are a 9006 I BELIEVE..

 

Has anyone with the Sonar's measures the halogen projector? I am trying to figure out what HID projector I need to replace the halogen Sonar piece.

The hids look great!

um...sti.........

 

Just did a retro-fit on the sonar projectors. Used RX-8 projector. Most any projector you use you are going to have to cut the back of the housing where the three cap mount rings are. Besides the back they fit pretty much perfect.

 

I hate the kit.

Just my opinion.

To each is own.

SEN-

 

do you have any pics of them installed? been looking on how to do a retrofit, and info on the steps you did?

-sean

 

^Likewise

 

pics of retro fit n cutoff ?

i would like to do some my self.

 

Anzo's are H3 for lows and H1 for highs... which are the lights NMexico has on his Evo.

 

^^^ he is corect on the bulb numbers i have the same lights with the H.I.D in them i like it much better

didn't seem like anyone answered the question, but yes you can cook the projector housings and it won't affect them. i sanded my chrome ones and painted it with high temp black. i've put my in the oven several times to modify them and they're still looking good. and you do it the same way, but my suggestion is make the temp higher by 15 from what you usually would do it at.

that body kit is horrible.

but anyway, i like those projectors. i want to pic some up but then i would have to get different bulb size for my HID's.
