qha, can we get some pics of the housing inside the engine bay? I'm curious to see if it bumps anything, especially the right side where the air filter assembly is.

Great job! It looks really nice. I wonder if you can also use the LS430 projectors...

qha_vn

sure, i will take some pix of the inside. i actually have around an inch distance from the battery or air filter housing to headlight ends. dont worry about that.

in fact i do have an issue when i plan to setup 2 more projectors for the fog lights. my problem is i dont have enough room behind them. i already bought 2 pairs of projectors but can install 1 pair now. i am looking at drilling the metal behind the fog lights for fit projectors. if this can be done, i will have double amount of lights with 2 pairs of bi-xenon.

the good thing is that i can turn on just one pair or 2 pairs at a time depending on road condition. the down side is that i will lose the halogen passing lights

whats your idea about this?

qha_vn

i am not sure how ls430 projectors look like, but i dont think its a problem, the headlight housing can fit virtually any projectors. if i am not wrong, ls430 projector is not bi-xenon, hi beam is still halogen

the LS430 projectors are also freaking HUGE.

Yellowish HIDs for the fogs...sexy.

my Hella ballasts and bulbs are on the way, now its time to plan for the fog bi-xenon. it looks a bit harder to do as there isnt enough room behind the fog



how it looks if the projector sits in place. cool eh!



compare dia. of projector and the fog



length of both looks similar, however, projector will need more room for bulb, igniter and housing



i am thinking of cutting a hole on chasis to fit the xenon. any alternative?

qha_vn

ok, a friend of mine has just got his 94 retrofited using same stuff, here's how they did it

remove the headlight from housing



use a heat gun to warm up the silicon



then pry out the lens from housing



take it out



lens removed



now cut the tail to get the projector in



good hole



now try the projector in place and mark where to cut for actuator



now cut it



"fine tune" the hole



sit the projector in









now drill a hole





the other side



now screw it in



try the bezel



now do the back side, need some creativity here hehe



use a plastic water pipe





(to be continued)

qha_vn

make it nicer



apply dust/ water cover



paint it



clean it up



reapply the lens



finish



install it back to housing, ready to go

very nice pics and step by step process. doesnt seem complicated at all if ur a DIYer. makes me wana buy some projectors and clear lenses and do the retrofit now haha.

question about the bezel. did u have to shave/trim it at all to fit the curvature of the housing? or did just fit right in?

vioswhite

it seems simple to professonal one, not with us.

if u wanna do it by yourself, it may cost double

I think that is really awesome, 1st that you have the skills to do that and 2nd how good it looks.

One thing though, OEM HID are not as expensive as thought. Just picked up OEM HID assembly for $69 each on Ebay, now that housing is no good but it comes with everything. Others have gone for $150.

Also on www.car-parts.com you have many, many OEM HID available along with a ton of other parts from junk yards around the country. I found my wood steering, wheel and shifter as well as my Naka receiver.

Really nice work either way though.

cheers
