And you thought it wasn't possible! While it may not be pretty looking at it from the back side, the beauty of retrofitting is making it work.
Here we took a gigantic Murano Bi-xenon projector, trimmed it up, and shoe-horned it inside of a tiny & shallow 7x6 generic sealed beam headlight for a Jeep.

Great video bruh!
Man I've watch this company grow
We have been going up, thats for sure! It is crazy to see how far we have come since we opened our doors all those years ago! Thanks for the support my man, have a good one!
Quedó genial, me apasiona esto del retrofit, tienes un suscriptor mas 👌
🙏🙏🙏
Amazing to see how far you've gone in 7 years, keep it up guys! I've been looking at something similar to the E30 smileys but bigger to retrofit to 7" sealed beam cars. The idea is to keep the fluting with a clear area in the center for the projector. That'd give us the amazing beam pattern of a projector with the more period-correct look of a sealed beam. I know the Holley Retrobrights exist but their reflector pattern is a compromise some are not willing to make (like myself). Hope you take this idea and make something like that in the future!
Thank you!
Flathead screwdriver has seen better days Nice job.
Did I miss the part bout what adhesive you used to put the projector in the back of the lens?
You should do an updated video using a Aftermarket Projector
Thanks for commenting, we will see what we can do for you! Have a good one!
Awesome video! Wish I could do that for my H3 Hummer... Thumbs up from me... Stay safe... Rico
This looks good you guy's make this look so easy 👍👍👍
It's not too hard, but thank you!
👌👌
How meter away is the car to do adjustment?
how do you calibrate the headlights ? would it be a good idea to make fiberglass copies of my original housings to use for swapping ?
Don't they still get hot support of you habe it too close to the lens it will melt?
How far away from the lens should and or can it be to work properly?
What year Nissan Murano is that projector from?
what size of projector dis you use?
Good afternoon.
Following your channel for some time and not yet seen a video that teaches by the projectors in a Golf Mk4.
They could make a teaching?
Best regards
Awesome video!
Do you sell 7x6 bixenon kit ready to install??
Damnn bro. You should sell them on the market lol. Im sure its definitely a great innovation for 5×7s.
Great video
Thanks for commenting, and for the support! We will see what we can do for you as far as getting those available to the market, we will keep you posted!
Nice! I appreciate the care you took when doing this 🙂 Is there a clear sealant you can recommend for the back of the lamp? (Instead of the black one)
Send us an email and we can go over a couple of options with you!
@@RetrofitSource Ok, I just sent the email :)
Headlamp alignment..???
Good job bro from india
Thank you!
Would a MORIMOTO MINI H1 7.0 fit better as far as depth? Wondering how much cutting/trimming would be involved.
Yes MH1 7.0s are more shallow. Would be a solid option!
Amazing video. Currently doing this this week. What did you guys use to cover the gaps on the back of the projector?
Looks like JB Weld
Just want to throw this out here in case someone else finds this. I ended up using quiksteel. Found it advance auto parts and it's like playdoh. It was rated for 400 degree, water proof, and cures within 24 hours.
Mygel Bergstresser is it still holding up? Building a retrofit now, and was gonna use JB Weld, but would consider other options if available.
The music reminds me of Gran Turismo lol
Lol. 🤣🤣🤣
What is the straight cutting attachment you used for the Dremel at 4:50? I've been trying to look for one and have not been able to find that
+pklemm1 Its actually a rotozip bit, just installed in a dremel. Good question!
What wiring harness would you use for a 1st Gen (81-93) Dodge Ram?
Looks like your ride has an H4 bulb so you'll need this, www.theretrofitsource.com/9003-h4-morimoto-elite.html
How did you align the projectors horizontally if you sealed the headlights?
+MikeandSamonPC thats done before the lens cover is resealed on the housing. Mount the rear buckets to the vehicle, and use JB Steel stick to tack the projector in place (While lit up so you can see the beam) and then go over that with a full layer of JB weld to make it permanenet once you've got the alignment right
what did you guys use to cover the gaps on the back of the projector?
Looks like a load of JB Weld was used
Problem with my van, is one side of the housing is canted, and no clear lenses were available
Reach out and let us see what we can do for you!

hose headlights are made of glass or plastic, as I can take off some glass headlights some idea
On these types you can get some lenses that are glass and some that are plastic.
Do the lights have running lights high and low beam or is it just one setting?
Kanine 8293 there is a switch that opens a door when you click the high beams on
could there be the possibility of having condensation inside since the back of the projector is open to the elements?
Ulysses Godinez We will continue making DIY Videos as detailed as we can, thanks!
Ulysses Godinez Very unlikely, it was sealed up with JB weld, aluminum tape, and silicone :)
so can go scrapyard an take any projector like 2005 mazda 6 and do same process what about hi and low beam
Yeah, you could. If the projector is a bi-xenon then you would have low & high beam together
+TheRetrofitSource Inc
and the wiring how make to work con old ones truck
I still pefer the glass headlight housing they don't yellow like plastic
Me too
HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE BULB DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT ALL APART AGAIN
Nope! just swaps right into the back of the projector with a simple clip.
what name of tool u use to cut the headlight sir..?
Dremel tool...amazon or your local hardware has them
How do you make sure that the projector stays straight?
You'll always want to realign before you seal everything up! You can use brackets or nut and bolt methods.
Do you have a link to those 7x6 housings because I can't find a set that's not made of glass???
These would be the only 7x6 housings we currently have access to.

How much you charge to make me a set of rectangle ones for my Geo Tracker?
We do not build custom headlights in house, sorry!
Do they get hot enough to melt the plastic lens?
They do not.
Proper projectors don't emit much heat and those that do have cooling fans or aids in the rear
anyone know of any 5x7 that doesn't have the lines on the lenses?
John Davis Vison X 7x6 H4 retrofit headlights don't have weird lines and are made of glass and metal. Just installed a set on my 1991 4Runner and they look and function Great!
@@gokartbuyer thank you
Hi do build custom retrofit head lights for customers
We do not build headlights for customers, however we can recommend some dealers. Email us - support@theretrofitsource.com
I feel you skipped the most important part. Aligning up the the projector inside the new headlight housing so the aim is correct. It would totally suck to get it all glued in and find out it was set in pointing down, up, left or right too far to be adjusted.
You’re absolutely correct, I would always recommend mounting them to the vehicle and making sure you’re good to go rotationally before making it permanent!
I'm gonna be real with y'all. This is one of the bodgiest installs I've seen with that JB Weld. That s**t has been caked on harder than the make up of chick's coming out of a club the next morning.
This video is over five years old now, so new materials have come out since then.
or just buy a set of headlights with projector built in for like $60
Not all projectors are created equal! Dedicated, HID compatible projectors will outperform the cheaper halogen based projectors significantly.
you couldn't have just mounted it from the back with out cutting such a big hole
Kareem Colebrooke not enough depth to the housing. It's gotta be done like that so it will clear the lens. Smaller projector retrofits require less to be taken out.
y wouldn't you just buy 7x6 projector headlights???
Theo DuQuesnay they don't sell quality ones
Theo DuQuesnay Because pre-made ones are usually complete crap with cheap projectors. The method TRS used has high quality projectors that will have way better light output
