Default Bi-Xenon retrofit?

Has anyone done one? I believe MattStarr did one, I'm thinking about doing this, so it's a first time for me. Any suggestions on which one I should use? Seems like the smallest one is the FX-R

Smallest one is Morimoto Mini. And there are few threads on retrofitting on here. Most are about low beam restricted projectors such as TSX and S2000. Bi-Xenon projectors simply needs to be hooked up to high beam wires in addition to the standard retrofitting procedures.

I had both FX-R and Morimoto Mini. FX-R has nicer color band (nothing color mod w/ washers can't fix) and wider spread of light. Morimoto Mini's light spread was narrower/focused and light throw was further than that of FX-R's.

hidplanet.com/forum would be a great place to decide which set is right for you.

I actually just got some new fx-r's in the mail the other day cause I gave my morinito h1s to my cousin. Unfortunately, the fx-r's are too big and I'm sending em back. The morimoto h1 and d2s are the only ones that work.

I'll post a link to my diy when I get home. I'm posting from my phone right now.

Oh! Yeah please do, I'm really interested in doing this.

I'm thinking if I should do blazers for the fog too.

Here's my diy. Post #19

As for the blazers, do you have 97+ fogs or 92-96?

Haha, perfect. I'm actually working on a blazer retrofit into my intrepid fogs right now. I'll post a diy when I'm done.
