Default Another Retrofit M35/45 Projectors
Some night shots added post #38
About to start my headlight retrofit. Picked up a pair of Infiniti M35 projectors, D2S 6K bulbs and relay from The retrofit Source. Got the brackets from LuxuryMods.com I got some SAE #8-32 machined bolts 3 & 4 inches long from my local hardware store.

Will pull the headlights apart later tonight. wil update with pics as I go.



So I continued with the project. Removed the headlights, not too hard. Heated the headlights for 10 minutes and pulled them apart. Fitted the projector in the assembly. Have to clean up the old glue and put them back togather. Will finish up later in the week.






Will post more pic as I go. Should have it wrapped up in a few days.

Wrapped up the project, see pics of the end result. Waiting until dark to see what the light output and cut off looks like.







Will post more pics of night shots

No Differences between them.

Thanks for the props guys. I do hope I resealed them good enough. When it rains I will find out HAHA. Having the brackets from Luxurymods.com made the install very easy.
