Hey guys, I bit the bullet, I'm deciding to retrofit my headlights now. Here's where I am so far and I will continue to update as I go

Got the headlights apart:





Without the clear coat or lens, this is similar to how they will look on the car:



Here is the hardware I'm going with:

Morimoto H1 5.0:




Gatling Gun Mini or Original Shrouds, We'll see how the Mini's fit in the housing first These will be getting painted gloss black.



I will also be getting 5000k low beams and fogs.

These projectors are also bi-xenon so I will be running quad high beams.

I am only retrofitting the low beams because of the bi-xenon feature, with this I will be painting the shield and putting an LED behind the projector to make demon eyes (powered by a rocker switch).



I'm hoping to order parts next paycheck and dig into it

 

You're turning your car into a lancer?!

Rice

 

An evo mitch???!!!



those are going to be nice though, i wouldve left em alone. i'd be too scared to mess up some headlights like that lol

 

Hows that rice at all?

 

Because I said you were literally turning your car into a lancer... not making it have the same look

 

I thought you were saying the idea of demon eyes is rice lol

 

So I'm getting ready to order everything and I have a few questions.

Bi-xenon moves a shield allowing all the light out when the high beam is on (essentially just a free beam like my current headlights), this is connected to the highbeams but DRLs is proving to be an issue and will eventually burn out the solenoid.

I'm wondering first of all how I should run a quad beam setup. (highs and lows all at the same time when I hit the high beam switch). Also, would you guys disable DRLs or put the bi-xenon on a switch so I can control it 100%?

 

I'd put it on a switch so you can control it all the time.

 

Alright I was thinking the same thing. Then I need to do the quad beam mod tho lol

 

I'm thinking of actually getting rid of the DRLs, running fogs without the high beams on looks so much better, then I'll still need to do the quad beam mod.

I'm also thinking I should change the title to something with 'Projectors' in it as I'm willing to bet most people on the forum don't know what retrofitting is lol the last projector thread got tons of replies

I'm also deciding to go with these leds to make the demon eyes along with painting the shields:
