Juice's HID Retrofit Project

mattcanada wrote:o.0 the OEM evo projectors with the adjustable leveling stuff? if so how broke am i potentially going to go...

Not sure how the leveling motor works, of if there is one ... but pair of SSS replicas for under $350, shipped. (Not including D2S HID kit).
Wish I had known about these before I started my project ... also, you don't have to send in your own headlights.

That looks awesome!!!
Cant wait to see the final product

Ohh is that the one that the guy posted on PL? I was thinking about grabbing those cause with the blacked out shrouds those looked sick!...Depends on how many hours I get at work during the summer...

That's the one ... was thinking of using that for a new retrofit, but ... that won't be for a while.

Non-pic update:
Had to rethink projector in highbeam housing. It's a pretty shallow reflector bowl to work with, but I think I've figure out what to do. Should actually look better. Using a pair of gattling shrouds I had picked up some time back, no cutoff shield, but it'll still be terminator style. Shrouds are not in the best shape, but I should be able to work with them.

seems like you made good progress this weekend !

Or simply had nuttin better to do like the most of us.

Hardly ... worked yesterday (I'm on US holiday schedule) ... Saturday and Sunday were pretty much write-offs ... did nothing. :(
Did some brainstorming last night while smoking during the actual storm ... figured out how to do the inner projector.

that sucks! i didnt have to work yesturday..i was so pissed i couldnt wash the car and when i did a storm came down after i was done TT hope to detail by wednesday

as always, beautifully done! +100

need some soldering help with one of the parts for my headlights ... pm me if you can help.
Really quick/simple fix.

... ya, this is how they pretty much sent me one of the CCFLs.

right angle connector on only one of the eight CCFLs I purchased, and of course, its the only one I'm having troubles with. Koi offered to help me tonight, if not, Larry offered to help me on Weds at KC. TTS fam is awesome as always!!



Once this is fixed, I'll be lightly tinting ccfls, then everything gets glued together. Then just waiting on some parts in the mail and first headlight will be done.
Shouldn't take too long to piece together other headlights ... painting will probably take up most of the time.

these kids soldering

hahaha, thanks for that Zero!
Look how nice they are now!

whoa....pretty

evil looking

did the connection we made work out?

Yup, all four are lit up in the above pic!
Might not be able to tint them tonight ... but will try!
