Here goes nothing... HID Retrofit.

So, I now have underway a HID Retrofit. The parts were all purchased from www.RetrofitSource.com. Headlights are stock and parts will be sourced from 2 sets. I plan to keep the BHLM look and just add projectors. Hope all turns out well.



This last pic is the headlights after I did a BHLM a few months ago, they will be reopened and parted out.

 

good luck man hope it looks sick

 

Good luck. That is one thing even I don't know if I could do.

 

good luck, i have the same ballasts as well

 

x2 ^

 

I look forward to seeing how it turns out for you. Good luck and take your time as you will appreciate the end result!

 

getchya ready

 

Thanks, I hope for the best.

 

Installing the harness for the HID's. Going with 35w D2S bulbs (4300k) and Morimoto Ballasts.

Special thanks thus far to G-sak for tech support.

 

hows the retrofit going for u

 

Going well, still not into the "meat" of the retro yet but I have done the following; Wired the truck up with the HID harness, mounted the Morimoto ballasts, and taken apart the headlights. Time for a tactical pause to go to the gym. Hope to begin cutting the reflectors and fitting the projectors tonight.

 

man this always gets me going... i've done the BHLM and Dash Mod but for some reason this one freaks me out +1 for having some giant cojones. good luck bro!! keep us updated.

 

Nice, take LOTS of pictures!!

 

Yeah yeah yeah. Take lots of pics. I want to see how well this comes out

 

interested in seeing how it comes out....

 

see the link in my sig and this post, im sure it will be much like it.

 

where did you mount the ballasts and how did you run the wires across the radiator? Pics?

I kinda want to remount my ballasts, but they work where they are. Just a little more exposed than I would prefer it though.

g/l man!!!

can't wait to see the end result

 

why do you need to remount? are those ballasts water resistant like the matsushita's? if they are enclosed and have a gasket around the plug, why be worried?
