 Projector Retrofit Completed!!



Well actually only one of the headlights is completed This was the first time I used a dremel tool so it took me a while and I messed up a few times. but I'm just glad I had some spare parts to use. Here are some of the parts I used:

X5 projectors
X5 lens (not used)
X5 projector holders
Philips 4300K bulbs
5000k DDE Lights w/ballast & wiring harness (Apexcone)
1 Gen III Ballast and 1 Gen IV ballast (didn't find matching ones at the time)
HID Wiring Harness (JBgotm)






I test fitted the headlights before and it was ok. Though when I assembled it completely, it must have moved back a bit and was hitting the air box piece. So I cut a piece of it out.


It was a tight fit but it just made it.

Looks great. Is the light output better?
I really do not like the coupe's light output. I feel like I can barely see at night. I think I am going to have to mount some 4x4 truck lights on the roof Or do the projectors, which ever

Haha, I felt the same way. With just one projector headlight, it is a dramatic improvement. Signs just light up from far away.
