@staylucking the what hid did you use the whole kit or just bulb ? The link doesn’t work thanks !
what color did you go with for the bulbs? theres a bunch in the amazon link
Although the projector is bi-xenon, I would have preferred you left the inner reflector untouched or installed a second smaller projector for low beam only to improve the light output.
so true with the inner lens painted black you get zero visibility at night no matter what bulbs u use
I saw you said use used a grommet in the finished version? Where did you put the grommet to help align the shrouds? I saw in reviews they needed to be shimmers to be properly aligned.
Thanks for the walkthrough man. But question, I didn't see a high beam get installed.. did you toss them in later, and if you did.. how did they perform in a blacked out housing
Youre welcome. And yes, forgot to mention that but the high beam still works as it should. Also The projectors are bi-xenon, so you can have the high beam wired so that the projector can act as the your low beam and high beam if you choose to go that route.
Teach me lol. I'm thinking about doing that for my girl's 2015 civic. I just mainly wanna know how to set it so I won't have a problem with having the beam sit super low and not shooting high when maxed out
Its a couple test fit of the headlight on the car before sealing it back together to ensure that you have proper alignment on both projectors. Once thats done, tighten at the projector in place and seal. From there you can then adjust high/low with the adjustment knob on the back of the headlight.
@@StayLurking how do you get it so the cutoff line is perfectly horizonal. Is it just a matter of trial and error by rotating the projectors?
Just asking since it seems like a lot of work to put the headlights back on the car, testing, adjusting, and repeating.
Also, was there any dremel work that you had to do?
@@feliiiik I test in house using a power supply before I start the process during and when the retrofit is done so that the cutoff line is perfect to oem standards. Most projectors aim down already so if you don’t test you’ll end up with lights hitting the ground and maxing out ur height adjustment. Good luck.
Good afternoon bro. I have a question.....
I see in the video , where you only install the nut back to the headlights, but this nut doesn't loose up sorry for my English is not good
How did you reseal it? What did you use to reseal? Was waiting for that in the video but never saw it.
Dope video man: ok so when you say alighn the projector do you mean align it so it’s horizontal an not have one side higher than the other?
Thanks. And correct.
These bulbs are plug and play with 9006 ?
This is what I need, nice video. How are the projector and shroud holding up so far bro?
Thanks! They are holding up very well. No issues at all.
If I were to put halos on them projector shrouds, what size would it be bro? 70mm or 60mm?
@@rommelangeloasuit6567 did you find out?
i got the same setup and i got the car like that. the driver side though does not turn on right away when you turn the headlights on. I'd have to keep trying, takes a few tries but it works. Any idea what could cause it not to turn on right away?
It could be a few things. First thing ill check is to make sure there isnt a loose connection. It can also be a faulty ballast or bulb too.
could you link the h1 headlight bulbs you got? and did you need any other adapters to fit them into current 9006 plug?
Let me see if i can find the original link. But you do not need additional adaptors if you get the h1 hid kit to 9006 harness. They sell bundles on amazon/ebay.
@@StayLurking thank you so much I appreciate it! I recently did the conversion and trying to figure out what type of light and wiring I need. If you can link them I couldn’t thank you enough !
Would you have an updated link to the headlight bulbs?
I can see if i cand find it
Could you install 2 one for the low beam & one for the high beam?
Yes you could
@@StayLurking alright cool thanks for the reply
Did you have to cut the shroud?
Can you put LED bulbd on this one? And if u could would the beam be the same?
Yes you can but these projectors are HID specific. If you put LED in there the output is not that great.
@@StayLurking i just bought LED’s , I hope it will work out.
@@genrock6756 Goodluck. Let me know how it goes.
Can I put LED in the projector or is it strictly HID??
LED bulbs in HID projectors are doable but they arent as bright.
Hey man how do you aim these projectors? Can I aim them once I install them on the car?
Theres alot of forums that will go more indepth, but in a nutshell - Giving yourself approx. 25ft from the headlight and wall, ensure the beams are parallel to the ground, adjust them by turning the projectors (the headlight is still opened) once you reached the desired aim, seal them up and then reinstall everything. if you install everything back togther without properly aiming the projectors, the aim will most like be all over the place and the only adjustment you can now do is the up/down adjustment from the knob on the back of the headlight housing.
@@StayLurking thanks and did u have to splice into the OEM harness or did u buy any adapter kit?
@@k24z7_ im running HID's with a adaptor.
Did you use the high beam wiring also for the projector? If so what harness did you use? Thanks
I didnt wire in the hogh beam for the projector.
@@StayLurking did you use a rubber dust cap to seal up the back from moisture?
Yes. I used the OEM dust cap.
Is the original hid kit still going strong? 55w?
hey bro what wiring did you do? pls i ordered them but i’m kinda confused rn
Did you figure it out yet?
What paint did you use for the housing
Rustoleum Flat Black
How did you seal it back up?
Permatex Silicone Headlight Sealant.
Do you have to prime or sand the housing?
I just primed it.
Thank you, and one last question would you say the light output is better than OEM?
@@joshuaocampo8215 if done correctly, yes. The output is alot better than the OEM.
How long do u think the process would be for a first timer?
It all depends if you're going to paint etc, because it'll need time to cure. But a couple hours at minimum forsure.
@@StayLurking Yeah i was thinking of painting it black like u did how many layers did u do? and did u use anything else besides the high temp gloss black paint
I did about 4 coats, high temp gloss black. Just make sure it's prepped well before painting. It will save you a good amount of time.
@@StayLurking dope. no sanding right? or just clean with alcohol wipes
Has the paint faded or anything?
No.
@StayLurking thanks I didn't know if I needed any special paint or anything appreciate the response
Hey men they look really cleann !!! I want to build mine but I’m confused on the wiring part in the back with the projector is there any way u could make a video or send me pictures on my ig @official56jordan I’m really trying find a video on that but can’t find please men thanks !!!
Its just the h1 adaptor and ballast to the oem harness because i didnt use the bi-xenon option. No cutting involved, plug and play.
@@StayLurking this is was I was looking for, “plug and play” ordering tonight, already have a amber delete, wondering how the new sealant I applied 5 moths ago is going to bake or heat up, last time I used a hair dryer but I’m thinking about baking them this time!
led bulbs can’t work with there projectors very lame sorry i purchase
total bullshit bro the ballast can’t work with these projector lens
