3rd Gen BHLM + Retrofit Projector

Mled 2.0 are out and pretty slick, all you need is the $50 conversion brackets and they'll bolt right in.

 

Good deal on some projectors I found on FB market. Sadly I'm still skittish to crack mine my open so here you for anyone wanting to retro fit.

 

Also here some cheap sr/sr5 headlights to get you driving while the retro is under way.

 

Well I plan on retrofitting the OEMassive/Tacomabeast headlamp like MESO did (albeit without all the fancy LED work he did) if I retro anything. Quad Bi-Xenon/Bi-LED would be sexy.

 

I am thinking of doing the same thing. but I do want the fancy LED Halos. so im getting ready to lose my mind and some serious cash in this quest.

 

One thing I'd recommend, anything LED that you want, buy from Diode Dynamics. It's a few extra bucks, but personally I think they are as good or better than OEM LED parts. Just my $.02

 

ive been looking into diode dynamics actually. lots of good stuff

 

Little help here... so I’m in the process of a bhlm and retrofit swap. Going through TRS and getting the “retro-Quik” kit.

With that being said anyone know what high beam splitter to go with? Does not show one for a H9. Also what size halos? 80mm? Was thinking of doing switchback DRL LED’s and halos but TRS doesn’t have them on there site... any help?.

I'm guessing you're going with the Rx350 retro kit? Either way not sure what splitter you will need so TRS should help when you order the kit.
Halos are 80mm.

I dont think TRS has just the switchback DRL's. Only RGB.

Diode dynamics does have just the switchback DRL's.

Light is looking good.

 

The high beam splitter I got for the rx350 retro are the H11 male > H11/9006 female splitter. No clue about halo.

 

Conquered blacking out the headlights today, one hell of a project but they came out pretty good

 

So what’s a solid solution for doing the angry eye? Seems like many cannot get paint to stick to halos...

 

General consensus of 300 degrees for 10 minutes to get them open? Also, do you set the headlights on the rack or a cookie sheet?
Also does any one know what size dust cover fits the back of the projector?
I see the 70mm listed below but I just wanted to confirm.

 

I used 285 for 10 min and had no issues with opening mine. Did 2 reheats for around 8 min a piece and was open within 40 min (including bake times). The trim clip remover tool or whatever from Harbor Freight works awesome. Removing the remaining permaseal has been a real pain in the ass so far though. Still working on that with a heat gun when I have time.

I went with headlight straight on the rack and it was fine

 

Thanks to Corona I'm working from home so decided to tackle this. It was a pain in the ass but worth it.

 

I need to do this with all my spare time

 

Help.. wanted to see if anyone has pictures of how they ran accessory wiring in headlights... I’m installing RGB demon eyes and RGB drl boards and not sure where to route wires to outside of headlight.

 

Cut a small slit in your original drl wire grommet. After you are done, seal all around the wires with rtv black.

 

So since I’m not using stock wiring just cut both ends and use it as a seal? That would be for both the drl board and the demon eye wiring correct? What about for the wiring for the projector itself? Would that just pass through low beam grommet? Thanks for the replies!

 

Yes you can just cut the wires on both sides and use for as many wires that will fit. If you are talking about the high beam shutter wire, then yes it can also go through there. Not sure of your setup? Also, I'm no expert by any means.
