Retrofit HID and clear side markers done!

[4u33er]

Retrofitted projector lenses into the housing and installed clear side markers and turn signals corner lights.

Now I have HIDs in both the headlight and fogs. Light output has greatly improved that during nighttime I usually drive with just my fogs on now.


I didn't wire the hibeam (the projectors are bixenons) cuz I got lazy

Looks terrific. I'm obviously a fan of the clear turn signals.

What was the process for getting the projectors into the stock headlight housings?

Did you have to break them apart to do the install?

We gonna see some night pics of those bad boys in action?

Also, at the risk of being rude......How do those compare in cost to the Starr conversion?

 

[nj3talpha]

I believe it is 1/3 the cost of Starr

 

[Gunner_45]

Sounds about right.

Been wanting HIDs for mine but I am too cheap to pay STARR prices and too scared to bake my damn HL assemblies in order to

get them apart for an actual retrofit. I have to say, doing the projectors vs the bulb thing seems the way to go. Looking forward

to seeing some night pics of the final result.

Not sure how much the STARR system costs.

My cost where:
1. Mini h1 bixenon projectors $60
2. HID kit $40
3. Heat gun $20
4. Silicone $6
5. Spray paint $7

I will post light output pix after I adjust the lights, right now the beam pattern is off, driver side is too high.

Where'd you get the kit from? They look cool. I'm curious to see how they perform. :corn:

HPC shows $900 +/- some change for the pair.

Rumor conrol has it that they can be purchased at a significant discount but I am not privy to that info myself.

So ....... I would say you saved yorself a few bucks.

I purchased this kit from ebay:

Submit your best offer and see how low you can get it for.

Then I followed hoken-ranger's guide:

Looks great. I wonder if someone has a how to for H2's

 

[4u33er]

My headlights started to fog up during rain, guessing all the broken pcs from the housing is not creating a tight seal..

So i ordered aftermarket headlights from AM Autoparts ($150 shipped) and will redo them over the weekend.

I will try to post more pics of how to do it, hopefully the aftermarkets are sealed with butyl instread of epoxy and will be easier to open.

Pretty cool, looks so European!

Looks great! Where did you get your clear side markers and clear turn signals corner lights? I like that style better than the other ones I've seen.

Can you elaborate on this? Strictly off-the-record.

 

[4u33er]

Would anyone be interested in a set of these headlights?

 

[M22KLARS]

HID's in your fogs? did you have to aim them? I have HID's in my 300 SRT and before I aimed them people were PISSED! No offence but, I can't imagine how blinding the fogs must be on a truck that sits so high off he ground. Were you able to aim them?

 

[4u33er]

Here is a guide on how to do these:

Also I didnt aim my fogs, I had no complaints from other about me blinding them. They are pointed to the bottom when I light them up.

Can someone help me I bought a clear corner light kit off eBay and the wiring does not match up. Is there a kit I need?
