Kbeanz 4th Gen OEM+ Projector Retrofit Build

[Tyla_T4R]

I'll share my file when I'm done prototyping, but it will be specific to the projector that I have chosen (M LED 2.0).

I am hoping OP will come back to answer my question about 2.5 vs 3.0 lenses soon, but if he doesn't, I guess I'll find out for myself

(Farming up to 15 posts so I can post pics of what I have)

Goated.

Would you say M LED 2.0s are the best? I’ll probably copy you

It is hard to say what is "best" because we all have different goals. And, I haven't finished my project yet so I can't provide any feedback specific to their performance. Also, trying to avoid hijacking this thread where Kbeanz used the D2S 4.0.

But I can say, from what I've read, the M LED 2.0 does appear to have performance at least on-par with the D2S 4.0/5.0, and has the benefit of simplified wiring.

Theretrofitsource dot com is one of the best places to do some research, but y00t00b also has some informative posts from people like Ligthwerkz and other retrofitters.

OP replied to my DM, but in the interest of keeping the info from his project all in one place, here is his reply:

1. Printed on ABS
2. Haven't seen any issues with heat, I also have not removed and inspected anything since I completed this a year ago.
3. I did not trim the shroud and I absolutely regret this. It is so close but I did have clearance so I thought I was good. Nope, I completely forgot to take account for aiming and adjustment. So now I am maxed out on vertical height due to my lens hitting that shroud, it's tolerable but I would like to aim my lights just a tad higher and I can't do that at the moment. I have plans to take the lights apart again, trim and probably change projectors.

This looks so good.

I want to do this so badly since I cannot even come close to affording bxbuilts or teq (which I heard have QC issues).

Is it possible for you to share the 3d file so we can print it ourselves?

Headlights are for sale, seriously. Throw me an offer.
I want to go another route and try to build a quad setup on my spare lights.

Looks great! Thinking about doing this on my 4R. Do you think you'd be able to squeeze one of those turbine or apollo shrouds around the high beam projector? Would it require a lot of trimming?
