Denji also don't have the flutes in front of the projector.

Weird, this doesn’t look like an HID projector.

I'm excited to get my passenger headlight + duct combo set up.

I did find another 3D printed headlight from a different seller online that actually looks a little better than mine, but I still think it'll come out pretty neat.

I clearly didn't read well enough .

I thought it was the projector retrofitted with the bulbs. They definitely need to be replaced with a proper headlight projector.

I could not tell if it was a proper HID projector in the Denji housing.

I haven't heard back from Inline4, so I am not too sure how legit they are.

I have gotten some email replies from Denji, but they won't answer any of my questions, they just want to know how many I want to buy.

I already have some Spec-D smooth glass housings, I think I will just call the Retrofit folks and get some Mini H1 bi-xenons and stick them in there.

You wouldn’t have the light flares outside of the beam if it were an HID projector.

While it might work, and you’ll probably not get a ticket these days, you’ll probably still want to do a retrofit with those housings for the ultimate output.

And if you’re going to spend the money to do that, you might as well just do a bi-xenon retrofit from Morimoto in some clear lens housings.
Agreed. I got my hopes up for a minute, but it looks like I am rolling my own...

I saw these as well, but when you put them in the cart, the only option is LED.
I know less about LED projectors than I do about HID.

Has anyone tried these?
Is it a projector low beam and an H1 in a reflector high beam?
No electronics to light the H1s?

Here is the install guide - they are just plugging into the factory wiring and calling it good!
