my projectors

First..forgive the dirty car. Second, I just wanted to post up my new headlights. My fiance and I retrofitted projectors and angel eyes into the stock headlights. It took awhile but it was worth it in the end. The switch for the angel eyes still has to be wired but I wanted to show the headlights for now.

As you can see, the rings around the non-functional circle and the headlight are flourescent rings for halos. We also put a red led behind that non-functional light for a city light look and 5 led's for turn signals. I had my bumper lights blacked out before but had to take it off for inspection. :oops:

we need better pictures.
what kind of projectors?

I may not be a big fan of projector headlights but very nice work. They look great. Can't wait to see the angel eyes hooked up.

FX45 HID Bi-Xenon Projectors
Philips 85122+ bulbs
Denso (Lexus) Ballast
Custom wire harness

The projectors came from a set of truck projectors, my fiance ordered them so i'm not sure what kind they were. They were H4's though so they were a direct fit. I like your chrome projectors..i just wanted a blackout look.



Here are some better pictures after a wash..

very nice!

I think it looks good aveogryl...

not to mention those custom rims...SWEEET!!

why is the reflector lighting up if they are projectors?

Looks good... Looks very similar to the design I will be making as soon as I can get a new set of headlights sourced (anyone want to provide?).

looks good.

welcome back

looks really good

are they actually projectors though? cause the light is reflecting off the reflector.

the reflector is painted black.
black=poor reflection=poor lighting

Yea I was seeing that... with the Angel Eyes it seems that there is not a very good seal on the beam...

Can you provide pics of how the beam looks infront of the car?

or build up pics..... pics of the projector.......


i havent heard of an H4 projector before. for halogen they are H1/H3/H7... and HID projectors fit 85122, 85122+, 85123, blah blah.


I hope you didnt retro these...

you wont be able to see two feet in front of you.
(they arent projectors... just a lense in front of the bulb. which actually in the end, makes the beam like ****.)


get us detailed pictures so we can see what you actually used.

Normal projectors don't need a reflector housing. All the light comes out of the projector giving it that clean cut-off.
Those do not look like real projectors in the second set of pics tho.

Yes I know projectors do not have reflectors :roll:

I know ALL about projectors. I took a long time researching projectors to get the right set-up for me. and I know a lot about autommotive lighting in general.

and aveogyrl either has some fake projectors "retro'd" in her headlights, or there is no bezel, thus causing all the light in the halogen reflector.
Either way is bad and causes glare. (less glare since she painted the reflector black.

I didnt mean to insult you but it seemed to me as tho you thought it did need a reflector. my mistake.

looks sweet aveogyrl. were you been hiding?
