Lets See Some Light: The Definitive Lighting Thread

[Mister.E]

silviaks2nr,

have you ever done a LHD projector retrofit into the JDM zenki headlamps?

[silviaks2nr]

I've never done a retro in jdm housings but it should be the same as any other projector retrofit in a reflector housing. The mounting/adjustment points may change slightly from USDM housings I imagine.

[Mister.E]

word. when funds allow, i will be contacting you. that wont be for quite some time though.

Close up pic of the projectors.

Comes with arms that are shortened to the right length.

I would like to run the pbm hmic which would require relocating the motor for the flip ups and fabricating new arms like this.

Also I'm a bit worried about debris breaking the lens. I've been told to make wire mesh and a couple of other weird ideas. The only thing I can think of is retrofitting some casing around the hid but I'm not sure that casing will withstand the heat and you don't want to have vents let moisture in.

that guy wanted $200 for just brackets and arms alone...

i need a retrofit h4, i figured i'd use those brackets.

anyone want to make some for me lol

That's an H3C bulb.

I asked this same question in 2010

What bulb is this?

Also, check this out:

Makes sense, ill take that into consideration, Thank you

Just finished up my X5M retrofit into the JDM kouki headlights. Wired up the bixenon solenoid and using the old high beam housings as fog lights.

[soryu]

[silviaks2nr]

not my work

[silviaks2nr]

bump.

refinished/candied some more kouki tails. I did an HID/ quad projector retrofit on this car as well.

[Andres_G]

Nice! But for my taste, I think the orange would have looked better. Any photoshoppers in here?

[new2sr20]

the candied/refinished tails look great. Kudos sir. Care to share what clear you used? and has the factory black been repainted with black again?

[S T Y L E S]

Let's see more lights!!

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT! i wonder where they get their facts and claims from. I mean, if the previous version was so good, imagine how good this one is... 100% better! its a win-win situation. and for us vendors, buy 100 and get 20 free. i mean, they're just giving this shit away. lucky!

d2h ISNT a real bulb, it does not exist. however, companies overseas are quick to assign names to an inferior/flawed product. so, thats that... let there be a d2h bulb.

just like there is no such thing as a xenon bulb for halogen enclosures (h1, h4, etc). but if you search ebay, you'll find plenty of illegal, non-compliant, flawed junk online...

its all CHEAP SHIT, no different than the godspeed intake manifolds

[Trap Star]

Anyone know where I could find a set of stock s13 triple projector headlight covers? The PO of my headlights decided to replace the factory ones with clear ones and I'm thinking thats why my headlights are pretty much worthless from a functional standpoint. Right now they only cast a little bit of light about 5ft. Shits weak.

i guess not all people understand how projectors work

wtf
