does anyone know what projector out of a "factory" headlight could be used in the housing for the aftermarket projectors? i'm going to make an attempt to make the headlights brighter by getting rid of the crappy H3 bulb and maybe using one out of a integra or something so that i can have a i think its a 9005 or 9006 for my low beam. maybe i will be able to see at night a little better then. i just put my stocks back on so that i can match up the projectors and see if they will fit in the housing if i can figure out what cars projectors i need to start looking for in the junk yard......

 

what i personally did was retrofitted some projectors out of an A6 into my jdm accord housings...the turnout was awesome and the light output is amazing...

Thats crazy yO!

You hacked up some expensive *** headlights for that? Im thinking you couldve just used your stockers and sell those to get money back from the project.

Looks good regardless though. You just must be BLANGIN!

 

thanks, it's great output and even better cutoff...it's so worth the money...

 

i have been wanting to do a D2S retrofit for a while but was waiting to see a finished product before i hacked up my headlights. thanks for posting the pics, this is going to be my new project. could you please post a pic of the brackets you used/made to hold the D2S on the back of the headlight. also, what did you do for alignment of the D2S??

 

i actually used some homemade brackets that secure to the bottom of the headlight housing, not the back...i merely have the back end of the projector sticking out of the back of the headlamp housing so that i can remove/install bulbs whenever i need...then i just filled the gap with black silicone to seal it all up...it sounds a lot more difficult than it really is...it really is harder to mess up than you think...

 

Too bad you didn't make a how to, looks really nice though, how expensive were the A6 projectors? Thanks.

 

the whole setup, projectors, ballasts and bulbs cost a little more than $350...

 

Nick H, do you have any pictures of the beams shining on the road at night?

 

thats one of the sickest headlight mod's I've seen. Props

 

those are OEM housings painted black.. hence the "DOT" and the aiming nipples...
