hey guys im wondering if anyone has retrofitted a pair of jdm headlights with projectors if so could i see pics and how did it worked out

 

I've done it. Not with any fancy fx45 projectors tho. I used regular 9006 projectors off a Teggy.

 

^^^pics and did it help with the night time driving cuz those damn jdm headlights are weird at night time =/

 

Slight haze on them because the lenses on them needed cleaning. Never got to use them since I swapped in EDM EE8 (LHD) Glass headlights instead. I just have them lying around in my garage right now

 

Mine are clean I wet sanded them and cleaned them but they ain't like the usdm ones

 

I opted for the glass ones, no fear of oxidation and they are LHD so they shine the proper way

 

cool cool by any chance could you send me some pics of the retrofitted healights

 

get yourself some custom clear lenses made and you can do it, if not buy some aftermarket clear lens headlights and do it with them.

 

(i know u said jdm lights but to those with usdm lights )i custom fitted sum black housing halos i had no use for with the usdm stock glass lenses and i now regret selling them. i put both sets in the oven at 350 degrees 10 mins, then took them out and took off both lenses.. when i took off the halo plastic lenses i also took off the black housing. and it is all chrome inside.I used a dremwel on the iner groves where the plastic lense sit on cus the glass lense are to thick. Honda bond was used to seal them back together and they came out clean. i sold them on CL for 100 bucks cus they were custom. It was a side project that happen to be a good look. I wish i had picka to show but believe me I'm gonna do it again now that i sold my sir and have a si...

 

cuz carlos wants to trade my bumper pole for his zc headlights i have zc headlights already so ill keep a pair mint and then retro fit the other ones see what the outcome is it doesnt hurt to try

 

Tony I have the pics on my phone I can email or txt them to you. Lmk

I think it's a horrible idea, it defeats the purpose of a retrofit. You NEED clear lenses to do it, the stock lenses are designed to disperse the light.

Open up a stock headlight and you will see nothing to spread the light, turn it on and it will be like having a pencil beam shining the light straight forward. Put a projector behind the stock lenses and you will have a projector dispersing light and the stock lense spreading it more. You've then taken the superior design of a projector and watered it down. It's honestly a waste of time, you may as well just put an hid kit inside the zc headlight.

 

i got a hid kit bro i lol and i seen a article in hondatuning that they bake a tl headlight retrofit it and they shave down the lense of the light to make it smooth so it wont disperse the light

 

I mean it's up to you dude, but IMHO it ain't worth it.
