The JDM headlights use either h1 or h3 bulbs for the high beam, unlike USDM. I forget which sorry, but I'd lean towards h1. I was assuming you have a usdm kouki and are working with the original body harness.

Zenki converted to Kouki....I think you're right..they're H1's...Thanks for all the help bro..

silviaks2nr · 10-27-2013, 11:22 AM

No prob. It's actually pretty easy when you get down to it but feel free to PM me if you need HID wiring help (that goes for anyone reading the thread).

advanEST · 10-29-2013, 12:26 PM

tapdeznutz · 10-29-2013, 12:30 PM

silviaks2nr · 10-29-2013, 12:36 PM

rx330 projectors (with clear lens and shield modification), e46 shrouds, philips 85122, CS lenses

advanEST · 10-29-2013, 12:39 PM

Can anyone help me find someone in SoCal that can do the projector retrofitting on my zenki I want to find a shop who can do it since I don't have the time or patience to tackle this project on my own

Those look great!! The clear lenses make a HUGE difference with the cutoff. Now to find a set of kouki lenses...

How much did everything cost? How much much would u charge to do em? Or are you willing to sell this set?

usdm180sx · 11-01-2013, 09:31 PM

Holy fucking shit. Those headlights are so bad ass that I want a zenki again just so I could get them

killer240 · 11-01-2013, 11:00 PM

damn thats hella clean bro

mad-ass · 11-02-2013, 12:24 AM

by any chance...has anyone used the E55-R shroud with their projectors on S14 Zenki?

silviaks2nr · 11-02-2013, 11:00 AM

^ I've tried but they are too shallow and won't cover up enough of the projector and how it's mounted.

Here they are installed, not the best pic (sorry). But they perform great, money well spent

driftheart · 11-02-2013, 02:54 PM

^^ If possible can you get better pics/angles of them installed? They look awesome.

I ran out and snapped a couple, wasn't sure what you wanted to see. If you need a specific angle let me know! Don't have a great camera at the moment, using my Iphone (3G) so quality is awful!

Turned on.

Excuse the dirty car, it hasn't been washed in a while!

Matej · 11-02-2013, 05:33 PM

It looks as if the car has eyes with eyelashes.

InsTanCeZ · 11-02-2013, 06:25 PM

Dude those are sick. They remind me of the Zoom Up cars.

Does anyone know what kind of projectors/shrouds these are?

silviaks2nr · 11-02-2013, 06:48 PM

There's really no way to tell from those pics. Most of the Japanese zenki retrofits I've seen use cheap Chinese projectors that basically screw in to the headlights unfortunately. The stuff you see on ebay for $70 for a full kit... so I think it's done more for the look than the performance.

The "iris" shrouds are similar to those though, just smooth with no faceting.

sorta looks like a Transformer eye.

KA240SX808 · 11-03-2013, 12:53 AM

Woah, I was unaware that the CS lenses were so under sized compared to OEM.
That's a lot of gap. Almost looks like the molded the clears inside of a OEM lense and called it good.

Mister.E · 11-03-2013, 11:11 PM

Yeah, that gap kinda makes me not want those now. The retrofit looks top notch though.

are you talking about the space left/right of the projector with in the low-beam housing? or just the depth of the projector not being covered? I was thinking about E55-R shroud with chrome acrylic sheet behind the shroud to fill in the void...

but if I am understanding your comment correctly, it would look funny IMO with big false wall up so close to the headlight lens.

with that plan scrapped, going back to the drawing board! LOL

Pink fog lights u mean not hids lmao.

This is a really late response but I guess I don't. I have read before about people who had the same problem I do with the clear covers. Please feel free to hit me with some links or knowledge either here or through PM. If you have any ideas as to what my problem may be it would be really helpful, I've been avoiding driving at night because of how bad it is and I'm out of ideas as to what to do. Thanks.

Also, the clear covers are ugly as shit so I'd like to replace them even if they have nothing to do with my problem.

mad-ass · 12-13-2013, 08:01 PM

Thread revival as I will be doing my retro soon.

Car: 95 S14
Already have PnP "Bi-Xenon" kit with the little halogen bulb to act as the highbeam in the low-beam portion, so I ordered the TRS Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 with 4300k Bulbs.

silviaks2nr and Andres_G...if you guys ever check this thread again...I've got some burning questions for you guys on wiring.

I know Andres_G did the thread on the HIDPlanet on this topic already, but I need some dumbed down version of it.

How do I flash my bi-xenons in H4 housings (during daytime)?

Exactly what I'm looking to do..just need part numbers of the diodes and what needs to be where and connected to what. LOL

Thank you thank you
