[djmedik91]

Looking to do the projector retrofit here. What does everyone think about using these for the projectors?

I hope you're not talking about the headlights

 

[djmedik91]

Actually I am......

this is the picture from ebay, how did you miss the fog light part?

1. Those are for fog lights.

2. From the way they are packaged they seem really cheap.

If you go to the Audio/Electronics section some guy is selling some good quality projectors for about $150.

 

[djmedik91]

Yes but with the size that they are, they might fight into the OEM headlight assembly....

I think that they are just straight glass with H3 bulbs....

 

[Clemsonfan15]

I think these would be much better:

i would use either of the posted above as the 4th gen runners use a separate high beam unlike our 3rd gen runners you will want to use a bi xenon projector like the FX or the TL for example as they bout use the projector for high and low beam operation.

here are mine and there out put.

Ok...Maybe I need to brush up on my lighting knowledge then. I just thought it could work but maybe not....Sorry for the "dum-dum" post...

 

[djmedik91]

SIK...
Where did you get your Bi-Xenon projectors from?

 

[SIKHILUXSURF]

you should be able to find them in the junk yard or ebay. i got mine from the junk yard of a totaled FX45

no worries if you didnt ask you wouldnt know asking questions isnt dumb. not asking questions and just assuming youll be ok is dumb.

djmedic, I have a pair of bi-xenon projectors for sale if you are in need of quality projectors. I have new bulbs and used ballasts as well!

I'll give you a good price on the whole setup, so you can do 1 stop shopping. Let me know!

 

[djmedik91]

What size bulbs do the bi xenons use? I have the H4 HID's in now....

Emo--( sorry the pic loaded up late) and price? Thanks for the info!

And hey, I guess everyone is entitled to a dum dum question every week...LOL

 

[emoshun]

Posted a pic of the whole setup so you can see what you'd be getting.

The projectors use D2S bulbs that will be included in the combo.

I'll beat eBay prices!

Projectors - Average for e46 bi-xenon is $200 a pair plus s&h, I'll beat that!

Ballasts - Average for Hella Gen 3 is $100+ plus s&h each, I'll beat that!

Bulbs - Average price for new 85122+ is $100+ plus s&h, I'll beat that.

You have PM!

 

[emoshun]

I'll even eat the $14.65 in Paypal fees! :biggrin2:

Thats an awesome mod. Can you give a quick "how-to"? Are those the sabersport headlamp assemblies on ebay?
