Default More information on this mod

Well, I found what my next saturday is going to be deticated to:



Does anyone have any information on how this was done?

I assume I have to cut the housing and put the projector in, are those the high beams or the low beams? What happens to the auto-leveling system?

This is off topic but I saw your thread on vipstylecars and I noticed that d2 sells a very similar style http://www.d2autosport.com/mrr.html the forth one down. Hopefully this helps. p.s. check out the gs pics on the page, pretty clean.

i assume it was done like any retrofit:
find the projector that you want, take measurements
see if those measurements fit inside the headlight housing you have
put the projector in

of course it's a little more complex than that, as far as fitting the projector and having the appropritae light output.

you lose the auto leveling, as there are gyros in the suspension that feed through the ecu and to the headlights.

Thanks for the info!

Will the removal of the autolevling throw codes or interfer with other parts of the car?
