anyone in here have any experience with projector retrofits?

 

Si

 

i wanna get a set but not sure if i want to do it myself or buy a set already completed. did you do your own?

 

Glad I was able to help out with the TW family. Anytime bud

 

Coming from 1st gen, it was easy... Now those were mini d2s... From what I heard fxrs? More difficult

Heat gun, paint shrouds, install projector, heat gun, silicon, more silicon, wiring harness, more silicon and done

 

i was thinking either d2s or h1. i did the bhlm so im familiar with opening the housing up, but i kind of rushed the bhlm so the paint didn't come out perfect. i dont want to use my oem housings because the lenses have some chips and scratches and oxidation on the inside, plus i want to be able to have something on my truck will i do the job so im not rushing to get my truck back together. oem housings would run me 400-450 new, so i was considering picking up a set of depo headlights, then i would only have to paint the reflector bowl if i decide to do that, and they seem to have a decent reputation.

 

That's way to much work than what it's worth IMO. The gain from stock to minis is huge, the gain from minis to fxrs can't be that much considering your still using a similar setup in ballast and bulbs

 

Your trucks got projectors?

 

Nah there sitting in parts room since 2012/2013

 

Aftermarket headlights with some black in it, left painted retro shroud, right not painted retro shroud the chrome looked black from the shroud so that's what I stuck with.

 

You have so many mods that aren't hooked up

 

is it hard to install halos?

 

I wouldn't be as fun if I did... Nothing like waking up to an air locker on your nightstand every morning

 

I'm not familiar with them but I'm assuming it's just two pigtails you have to get out the housing. More than likely not that difficult

 

im leaning towards doing it my self and just taking my time. unless i find a good deal on a used set on here.

 

i can build a set up with color changing halos for under 500. thats about half of the price of getting a set custom made.

 

you think ill be fine using aftermarket housings? it seems the main issue is the seal but if im opening them up and resealing them as long as i do a good job that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Beyonce headlights?
