Some Pics of my new Headlight retro

BklynGS · 10-26-09, 08:11 PM

My car had no headlights for about 2 weeks but in the end I guess it was worth it. Its a big upgrade from the stock HID headlights.
I put BMW E46 Bi-xenon projectors in the Lows. I could not fit these with the solenoids in the back in the highs. The solenoid is fully functional and these are now my high beams. And I used Porsche Cayenne shrouds.
In the Highs I put very modded LS430 projectors with clear TSX lenses. I had to cut away a lot of these to make them fit, including the bowl on the bottom(still a very good projector without it). This one has a white halo around it which comes on with my parking lights.
If your wondering what this all looks like... its something like this.

The pics of the cutoff line were taken from about 15ft from the garage doors. I think the second one is from inside the car.

The E46 projectors mess up the cutoff line a little. The don't have a nice straight line like the LS430's. But all four are aligned together and that is all four on. I like the last 2 beam shots. Thats what I see now when I'm pulling into my driveway. One from outside the car, and the other from inside the car.

What do you guys think...Is it too much? I don't want to give my car the appearance of a 4x4 when its coming at you in the dark.

There isn't much space in the back of the highs. I couldn't tell you though. I never saw a TL projector in person so i don't really know how big it is or where the solenoid is located, which adds a lot to the back of some projectors.

damm. is there any bi-xenon projectors that can fit in the highs with no problem??

Yeah. well all four lights are the low beams. the halos come on with the parking lights. and stay on when the headlights are on.

you should start helping fellow ny'ers retro theirs ;p lol! been dying for a ls430 retro. but dont have the balls to take apart my lights since its my daily driver.

I'm sure it looks nice at night but those lights do not match up with the housings. Doesn't seem worth it if it doesn't even come close to lining up.
