HID RETROS
I am about to start a hid retro on my silver 06. was wondering if anyone had any pics of theirs or if they have done it. a friend of mine just did a retro in his 06 si and looks good. just looking for all ideas.

that is because i preferred NOT to, i like the bare look . . yaddamean
. caveman's FG is also black. . so his looks good for his car.. i think it would look wierd for mine.
i'll have more of what happened to my ****, but here is a pic of them on the car
sorry, no day time pics of mine - i had them on only for the night after realizing that i need to take them apart and rethink the retro process
and how fuked up my cutoff was
these headlights are not easy to retrofit only because all you can control from the stock headlamp assembly is up/down
so i'm going to spending time making something up where i can independently control up/down - left/right - tilt
sorry mike, i'ma gonna be hangin on to the extra Si headlights, i just bought the one i was borrowing from pax, so i'll either sell them when i'm completely done. . . or by another set of HIDs, retro those and sell them
EDIT: here is caveman's retro

Re: (SeanJohn1802)
DAMN SJ thats a little whack. The left pro need to go counter clockwise. I think you just need to work on the driverside. Pass looks okay, buy needs to be raised.
Here is my semi-detailed on TOV. http://www.vtec.net/forums/one...22931 . You need to make sure your holes are a little bigger than the bolts, so you can rotate before installing. Mine arnt perfect but they are good enough. Best thing too do is pull your car back 15-20 ft.
Then align it that way. but , with the cover off. once it is stright, put it back together.
Look at the back of my set w/ the bulb. the notches are straight w/ the bottom. Thats how I can tell if it is somewhat straight. PM me if you have any questions

Here is a photo of both 06' Halogen and TSX HID. The driverside of the TSX is now raised up and even with the otherside.
Now what lighting would you rather have!!!

The only thing with either the A4 or the E46 is theres too much room on the fender side for the shroud to cover up the projector. A4 wont fit, I havn't tried the E46.
Thats why I had to make my own. Which I am please with the results.

yes - only difference is the ring around the DRL/hi-beam
smoked = fg1
amber = fg2
chrome = fg1/fg2 (remove the ring around it)

yea there are the same, if you really want the amber ring around the high beam you can order a set of si headlights and use your ex headlights as a practice set.
Question-- does anyone know if you can just purchase that plastic peice that goes around the hi beam for the si, so u dont have to buy a whole si headlight?

Re: (SeanJohn1802)
hey the svt focus was offered with them and they sure didn't offer if for any other model, especially not the mustang. Do the ford gt's even come with them?
And I also think that the mazda3 was offered with them before the mazda 6 and i know that they just come on the mazdaspeed6 for sure.
