CLOSED - The Retrofit Source GB

Depends on the size of the shroud and where you want to mount the halo.

 

Not necessarily. It really depends on exactly what shroud you use. Your best bet is to just call them and let them know what you're trying to do.

 

Ya your right I was referring to my shroud Apollo 3.0's.lol

 

Haha yup, because 90mm halos fit perfectly around the outer edge of my Gatling Gun shrouds but don't fit well on the inside.

 

i was thinking g37-r shrouds

 

I've been contemplating doing a retrofit for a few years now (yes...years ), so I would be very interested to see beam comparisons between the X and O lens Morimoto D2S 3.0's as well as to an FX-R. I've got a pair of FX-R's sitting here that I've had for probably two years now I just do no have the time to do the required modification to the stock housings and refuse to pay someone else to do it for me, haha. Anyway...so if anyone has beam shots for comparison, that would be pretty awesome. Not really expecting anything yet given how new they are but never hurts to ask.

 

why not purchase cheap headlights and do retro at your own pace

 

The X and O outputs should not be any different. They are the exact same lens, just one is square and the other is circular. Just buy an extra set of housings and take your time on them.

 

They squares may have sharper cutoffs since they are a newer design but there's new d2s out that are just as sharp. For any one needing info go over to hidplanet.com and be prepared to get mind fucked

 

The new D2S's are what we're talking about?

 

They have the new square ones and then there's whatever version they're on for the regular ones

 

They're both new. Both have the new D2S III projector design.

 

Ya just a different lense

 

does the retrofit source do installs also?

 

Nope.

 

IMO, installers want too much. I was quoted $750 in just labor alone for just doing the headlight housings! Getting some Depo housings and doing them at a slow pace is the way to go. Buy the windshield sealant, and a tube of silicone window sealant (completely seal the outside of the bead after baking). I've had no issues with fogging for about 4 months now.

 

They do ask a lot but they also do phenomenal work and can do some crazy stuff haha. Deff cheaper to do it yourself and learn from it

 

How do you tighten down the lock ring once everything's assembled without disrupting the horizontal line? Mine is sunk down a bit behind the retainer clip holder. I'm considering flipping the adapter plate around. I had everything as level as I'd like it last night, but I'm stuck on that part.

 

Hold the projector in your hand as you tighten it, or put a little jb weld in it to keep it from turning

 

I cant figure out the order to make these things sit in the projector. I did the first retaining clip in, then the light, then the metal circle, then rubber piece then last retainer to sink it in. Whenever I hook the ballast up to the light it works fine, but when I try and twist off the ballast connector from the light the light just spins in the projector and I cant get it out. Any clue? Do i need to put the first retaining clip further down to get more depth or what?

Have mini d2s btw
