sorry guys, im giving up. don't have the time to mess around with retrofitting...gonna stick with halogens for now. got a "like new" set of HIDs if anyone's interested

 

What would you have to do to get them to fit? What kind and who'd you buy them from? I might be interested

 

From what I can tell you'd have to get some projectors like out of an Inifiniti FX SUV and remove the headlight assembly. From there, you would take the assembly apart, cut a hole in the reflector and place the projectors in. Clamp everything down, re-seal the healdlight assembly and screw back into the car. Obviously, it is more complicated than that. There are some details here: www.theretrofitsource.com.

They are H4/9003 8000K bi-xenon lights. they come with glare shields, balasts, relay, all wiring and an in-line fuse. They have only been in the car for a couple days. I bought them from XenPro via Amazon. I paid $178-ish, but u can have them for $90 + s&h.

 

Hrm.. I thought you could stick the HIDs in the normal headlight and it would work, but not as well as using projectors. Lemme find out more info before I make a deal.

[edit] Darn, 8000k is too blue for my tastes Had it been 4300k or 5000k I would've snatched yours up. Good luck!

 

That's what I thought. It does work and it does look better than halogens. Driving to work in the mornings I can tell a difference between my lights and everyone else's - it's a good feeling.

Putting them in the filament housing won't get you the nice crisp cut off lines you see in pics. There is a little bit more light going up. I do see road signs better, though.

I could leave them the way they are and be satisfied, but I would want to finish the project and just don't have time.

 

i just put 5000k from mobile HID on my girlfriends xd... had to aim them down all the way because it was spraying light everywhere. it is alot better then hallogen though and she loves them

i gotta find time to retrofit
