The most difficult part IMO would be wiring up the HID's.

I don't have a how-to sorry.

Demon eyes I think is what you are describing. I wouldn't want to do that. Just another reason for the cops to get ya.

The wiring harness took me the longest to figure out, especially since I wanted quad high beams lol. I got it done with 4 relays and a bunch of wires though

I've been researching doing projector retrofit for a while and looking at getting the bi-xenon morimoto mini kit. You said you have "quad" high beams, you mean the high beam from the projector and the halogens are together? Does the cutoff blur with the halogens?

I'm not super concerned with it because it is the high beam and I hardly ever use them. Just something I'm curious about before I tackle this project.

My high beams are also 6K HID bulbs, so when I have the highs on and the projectors on all of the light blends together.

The low beams on these projectors are better than the high beams on the stock lens. You'll be fine just running low beams only.

Default How to

To get the morimotos to fit in did you have to do any extra work or were they just a perfect fit?

Default projector length

In regards to my last comment I meant any work on the reflector. Also what length is the morimoto?

The mini morimoto h1 is what was used IIRC. They fit fine, just need to make a bracket to keep them in place.
