3rd Gen BHLM + Retrofit Projector

Krylon fusion matte black. 240 starting at 15-20 and multiple reheats if needed

 

Took me all day yesterday but it's done. I should have paid someone to do it haha

 

Looks sweet! What size halo did you go with?

 

^ Those blend in sooo much better with red/black accents everywhere. In/Out and back together in 1 day is some work!

 

I went with 80mm. took @Brick_26 suggestion on the size and it fits perfectly.

Yeah needed the headlights for work haha. we took our time though. The paint you suggested worked perfect. The worst part was taking out the old glue. Other than that it went great.

 

DUDE!!! These looks SICK! Would these be the one's going on my truck?

 

These ones are yours!

 

I haven't seen anyone put a different shroud in the 3rd Gen housings. Is there a reason that everyone is staying with the stock shroud? I really like the 2nd Gens with the rear and front mounted halos on the panamera and apollo 3.0 shrouds.

 

^ shrouds will not fit. They are only used when retrofitting a projector and there is a gap around the lens.(see 2nd gens). Since the 3rd gens already have projectors.. the "shrouds" are molded together into the inside housing. I guess you could cut up the factory surround and modify a new apollo bezel.. just not worth the time/labor IMO.

 

Oh I see, thanks for the info

 

trying to muster up the courage to do this mod, looks soooo good!

 

JUST DO IT!! haha

 

Completed mine on Friday, What did you cap the back of the housing with? I put so much butyl in there and hope it does not leak. I added some morimoto fogs as well.

 

Can't wait to get mine done! I went with morimoto d2s 4.0 and CBI bulbs.

 

Something came in today!

 

Sweet!
I have to ask, why the morimoto 4.0's?
I know they have a nice cutoff, and priced much cheaper. But they will not bolt in like an OEM toyota/lexus. Might require more retro fit then necessary.

 

Bc I didn't do my research lol. I guess I should've went with the rx350's.

 

If anyone ends up damaging a light and replacing it, I'm looking for a damaged one to play with

 

^ Don't Jynx it!

@1bad2k . If your set on using the 4.0's, I would fabricate an adapter plate that fits the morimoto 4 bolt pattern, and adapts to the Toyota bolt pattern.
Good luck!

 

How do we adjust the factory projector?
