Alright guys. I received my Audi Projectors today. They look amazing. The only thing is though on one of the lenses there's a slight scratch, but the scratch appears to be in the area of where the cutoff shield should block. I don't know. Do you think it's going to affect my lighting?

Anyway, I can't start the retrofit until probably early next weekend because I have a fat *** Midterm paper due soon!

I'll provide detailed installation instructions and pictures for you guys.

Here are the pictures:

Looks nice. Hurry up and do your midterm paper so we can all see the outcome How much did that cost all together?

 

Good luck man. Hope it turns out great

 

Why not keep the stock housings and modify the bulb to fit instead of trying to fit the entire projector?

 

looks good, OSram bulbs are higher K because they are a bit yellower than the philips bulbs when comparing the same temperature rating

 

The new housing will give the headlights OEM Audi output.

 

Yeah, I want the blinging color changing look like the Honda S2000, and the Audi's

 

So you're saying if it is 4100-4300k it's going to appear a little bit more yellow compared to 4100-4300k Philips? Do you think my bulbs are 4100-4300k or do you think they were 'upped' a little to make it comparable?

 

at least you admit it, ricer.

 

Looks good. You're paving the road for me

 

Osram bulbs as used in OEM HID (e.g the Acura TL) is 4800k ...so that is what yours may be

ROFLMAO!

 

Ooooh lokks like a nice project

 

Awww.. Son of a.... A year and a half ago, I purchased a set of Audi A6 headlights w/ hids from a body shop for cheap cuz the A6 had both lights replaced.... Too bad I didn't think to try to retrofit the projectors into my ride and just had the bulbs modded to fit the existing teg housing.... Now I'm kicking myself... Fak!

 

Pic pics please...........

 

Do you still have the projectors??

 

didnt u just buy the Catz HID kit???
if u were planning on changing the projectors out, why did u bother w/ the Catz kit?

 

I wish.... I had a local shop modify and install the bulbs/hids for me cuz I was scared I'd fug something up and ruin a perfectly good pair of hids. They never gave me back the lights and I highly doubt they'd still have them. One of the headlights had a cracked outter lens from the accident so I didn't think they were of any value and didn't think anything of it. I got them for a helluva deal too, it was 350 cdn (~250 USD) for both headlights w/ bulbs & ballasts still attached..... FAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

 

yeahh! great buy, man! post pics with some detailed instructions soon, cant wait! I dunno any other sites that do step by step retrofits (or maybe I just dont look around hehe) well anyways good luck on that..

I plan to do some retrofittin as well on my 99 HB but Ill be getting some Angel Eyes Double Halo Version 2 and will be retrofitting S2000 projectors and with the ballasts and everything .. yeah the angel eyes are kinda ricey headlight projectors but I need it and I dont care for how it looks anymore (although I know it will make the car look weird sigh) because Im really sick of halogen.. and I do a lot of night driving.. and S2000's beam pattern is very good compared to Audi, BMW, and other OEM HIDs

 

 

why don't you just take some street lights off of any large BLVD and use them for you headlights..

poser

 

halogen projectors are no where near as good as HID projectors.

hey skafia. you should hit up MTK, ive seen the retrofit in person, very cool.

 

Awww man that's gonna be pritty damn sweet... hopeing everything goes well with retrofitting it. This time plz use a better digicam to take the pics, lol j/k

How much does it usually costs for retrofitting and who usually does this, bodyshops?
