Default Quad Projector with Flat LED as DRL

It's been almost 18 months on this project, it's very close to project completion with minor details to finish up the project. Special precaution was taken with used of the hyper ballast instead of OE 35 watts ballast. Having said all that, here are some teaser pics

Projector used:, S2k clear lens and S2k grade bixeon with S2k like cutoff line

Machined mount being produce

Wow looks great! Sounds like you spent a lot of time working on this project. What model projector is your high beam?

Great work so far. "S2K-like cutoff line". I wonder what projector you got that uses s2k clear lens. Only projector I could think of is an rx330 with a mini bixenon solenoid (from the pics, it looks like an rx330 headlight). Very interested in seeing your output.

The projector bezel is sent to get chrome paint so to make the whole setup as factory as possible. harness still need to be made, the low beam is pure S2k projector with clear lens, the other is a "noname" brand bixeon that can produce very sharp and S2k like cutoff line.

Thanks, this sure took time for the retrofitter to work on. I also have 6 hyper ballasts installed giving out a lot more light than factory
