@Useful Vids ... Obviously, even horizontal installation is important. Is the beam adjustable vertically after completion? I am going to do projectors for my Merc Marq. Good video.
(Old but) What is very good about this is the color of the bulbs available! He used 4700K. That is much better than 6000-6500K! If I did this I would probably use 5000K. However, also probably, I would do as you want and use LEDs at 6000K because I am rarely in bad weather and no snow. (But, I am thinking about moving to another state. Colorado.) Of course, there are off-road 5000K lights that may possibly be used.
Do we need to consider the rating of our old bulb and match it to the new? And is there any other to consider as we modify or we add something to the electrical system of the vehicle that affect affect the function of electrical system of the car? I have Ford everest 2018 trend model what can you suggest that best fit to it. Hope you can still answer my question. Thank you very much.
Hi, great video I repeated a lot and researched and I got a much better understanding of this over time. Bought everything except grommet. Where can I get this like yours or does almost any grommet work? Thanks
Nice video. Does the H1 bulb connect to the high beam wire or the low beam wire? The wire that you drilled the hole for, where do you get a connector for that? I'm assuming the black wire goes to ground and the red wire goes either to the high beam wire or to the low beam wire. Which one?
For the H1 bulb connection, they will connect to a ground (black) and low beam hot coming from the car (red). Since I used a bi-xenon style projector, the wiring/connector I drilled a hole for is part of the projector, it’s included. These wires will need ground (black wire for projector high beam) and the high beam hot wire when highs are flashed or activated (red wire on high harness coming from projector).
I would love to do this, but looks way to complex. I could get the aftermarket retrofit projector headlights, but they get water in them easily. I guess I’ll just stick to my reflector housings. 😢
(Old but) You could do this. Don't overly concern yourself. The worse that could happen is you decide, NO, then just put the parts up for sale to get your money back. (Or, return them if you can.)
So if I already have projectors, I can put these in? With a ballast of course. I was just confused because I read a few different places that the bulbs themselves aren't interchangeable
Really helpful video but I'm still confused bout the wire to make it switch to the high beams ,I have a 9007 but I'ma get a conversion kit to get it to be h4 but idk how to wire up the high beam connector ,help please ,is there another harness I'd have to buy and what is it called ,thank you
I've built some of these myself and all the "high beam" connector does is flip a small plate down out of the way of the light. That small plat is what gives the sharp light cut off and it's flipped by the small motor inside the projector. Power is constantly applied to the 9007 bulb and it's not like the H4 bulb which has 2 separate circuits inside the bulb. What type of bulb does your car use? H4 or 9007?
Hi I have that same projector going to used it on my Yamaha r1 2004 but I have 2 bulbs on each side one high and low beam,I am using the projector for high can I Take out that mechanism from the projector cause it’s only hing beam ??
The fluted Glass headlight housing is problematic as it scatters the beam blinding incoming drivers. Avoid retrofitting HID bulbs in those type of headlights
You would use the vehicle’s headlight adjusting screws. Since this projector is in exactly the same position as the factory installed bulb would be, the aiming process will be the same. Usually, the owner’s manual will have a section on adjusting headlights.
@@UsefulVids thanks for the reply!! And I noticed that the projectors I'm finding online are all the Bi functional versions, for High and Low beam. Can you purchase a multi-functional one, and just use it for a single low beam?
Thanks for the guide. It's really detailed and useful. I have two questions. 1. Can you post links to the materials you used in this video? 2. My car has a low beam and a high beam bulb. Does that mean I'll need two projectors each side? How do I handle this scenario?
Hallo. Show me the electronic diacram for the leds run, from where can i buy the 2 color led and if with the diode the projector run high and low ligts ?

Can I keep the lens off ?
You're one of the few who actually show the install of the bulb as well, thank you.
(Old but) Yes, and a more proper, cleaner install.
Wow, you made that look incredibly easy! I only wish u included before and after pictures of the look/ performance results
The dude made a solid how-to video. Very helpful
Amazing video!
I would love to see another video like this with a shroud that has turn signal lights that turns white DRL and Yellow flasher 🧐😎
I can do this. Pretty much it depends on the headlight housing you put it in but the projector kit come with everything you need
You wasting your time. You can be a news broadcaster,you explain the process pretty good.
@Useful Vids ... Obviously, even horizontal installation is important. Is the beam adjustable vertically after completion? I am going to do projectors for my Merc Marq. Good video.
That's nice but I would like to go with the LED projector instead of the ballast HID

THIS IS SUPERB ! Thanks for this good content
Man this is one of the best vids for a projector retrofit out there! This can be used with most brands of projector headlights! Thank you
Can you plug these directly to the headlight power source without any adjustments? Wanna add these to my Suzuki swift headlights.
Very well made video
Well done 👏👍💪👋
Very nice video
Whats the highest wattage hid bulb/ballast that would work with glass lense like yours? Great, easy to understand video, thanks for making it!
Up to 55W - thanks for watching!
@@UsefulVids thanks for quick reply. Why not 75 or 100 watts ?
If I put ordinary light into projector for LED lights...what it will look like at night? Thanks!
Do we need to consider the rating of our old bulb and match it to the new?

I have Ford everest 2018 trend model what can you suggest that best fit to it. Hope you can still answer my question. Thank you very much.
Did you use fuses inline with your projector solenoids? Do you know what the current rating is for the solenoids?
Good job bro 🙏
This very is perfect
How do you wire the hightbeam flipper?
Hi, great video I repeated a lot and researched and I got a much better understanding of this over time. Bought everything except grommet. Where can I get this like yours or does almost any grommet work? Thanks
Hi, thanks for watching! Any auto parts store or search for an online retailer. Generally you can find a nice selection on Amazon.
@@UsefulVids thank you. Doing this atm and I’m excited for results
You got this!
What do you recommend for a Nissan 300 zx?
the projector is facing off from center, how does this effect the actual light direction?
Now what do you do with the wiring from the projector lense?
There's usually a splitter wire that connects off your main lighting harness that activates the high beam
Nice video. Does the H1 bulb connect to the high beam wire or the low beam wire? The wire that you drilled the hole for, where do you get a connector for that? I'm assuming the black wire goes to ground and the red wire goes either to the high beam wire or to the low beam wire. Which one?

Where to buy a projector with removable bulb? Most projectors in the market are assemblies.
How is the result after installing?
What link to buy??? 👍🏻
noticed that all the EVOX-R V2.0 D2S Bi xenon sold on aliexpress are with a US beam pattern .....can those me modified to be used in uk? how?
thanx
So if I already have projectors, I can put these in? With a ballast of course. I was just confused because I read a few different places that the bulbs themselves aren't interchangeable
That’s very nice. I need to do this too
Fantastic my friend
I feel 5500k is best range for all whether driving.. 4300k falls short in pitch dark night and wet tarmac
Do you think HID is better for retrofit than LED?
Useful video... 👍
How can I do it on a 2020 GTI with halogen headlight assemblies
Does your headlights need to have the reflective properties in the headlight housing for this to work?
No, the projector will not need it.
@UsefulVids thanks appreciate the info
Will I be able make headlight using them for my mk5 golf
So where you connect those wires that came with projector to?
Hid Bi-xenon lens is cool
Really helpful video but I'm still confused bout the wire to make it switch to the high beams ,I have a 9007 but I'ma get a conversion kit to get it to be h4 but idk how to wire up the high beam connector ,help please ,is there another harness I'd have to buy and what is it called ,thank you

You get lhd
And right hand drive ones
5 star
What are the wires for ??
Can these be used as fog lights?
Can the H4 hid bulb be installed in this lens?
could it do this to my angel eye vento headlights ?
Hi I have that same projector going to used it on my Yamaha r1 2004 but I have 2 bulbs on each side one high and low beam,I am using the projector for high can I Take out that mechanism from the projector cause it’s only hing beam ??
Yes, I believe so. Without the flap it will always act like a high beam.
Purchase Link
Can I keep the lens off ?
Useful video 👍🏻 if I were to put halos on this projector, what would be the perfect size? 60mm or 70mm?
Probably 60mm, since 70mm might be too large to attach properly.
Same question :)
this can plug n play civic fd 2006?
Is it a good idea to paint the reflector black?
Yes, if you’re going for a certain look it won’t affect the lighting output.
@@UsefulVids Thanks for the speedy response and extremely helpful videos.
The fluted Glass headlight housing is problematic as it scatters the beam blinding incoming drivers. Avoid retrofitting HID bulbs in those type of headlights
Can i put Led bulb in bi xenon hid projectors ?
Did you try?
im guessing you glued the shroud because you assume you will never take it off?
Yes…and to have a mechanical and adhesive type redundancy to ensure the shroud will always be vibration free.
Gotcha, thanks!
@@UsefulVids I need to take the shroud off to replace the lens with an etched one, how would I go about removing the shroud now?
How do u adjust the lighting angle? (vertical and horizontally)
You would use the vehicle’s headlight adjusting screws. Since this projector is in exactly the same position as the factory installed bulb would be, the aiming process will be the same. Usually, the owner’s manual will have a section on adjusting headlights.
@@UsefulVids Thanks for the reply. Understand now. So its basically the reflector that changes angle to accommodate the bulb.
Does the h1 have high beams after installation? My vehicle is using h4 and it's high and low beam in one bulb.
Yes, but you need to buy a wiring harness for compatibility.
@@UsefulVids so what if I just find am h1 harness and tap off my h4 harness. Will that work?
@@battlebornrc2335 yes, it should
How did you know what size projectors to buy for your halogen setup??
You can measure your light housing, but most retrofit projectors are 2.5” or 3” and should fit almost all housings.
@@UsefulVids thanks for the reply!! And I noticed that the projectors I'm finding online are all the Bi functional versions, for High and Low beam. Can you purchase a multi-functional one, and just use it for a single low beam?
@@anthonyjames5067 Yes, just ignore the high beam wires and you’ll be good to go.
Thanks for the guide. It's really detailed and useful. I have two questions.
1. Can you post links to the materials you used in this video?
2. My car has a low beam and a high beam bulb. Does that mean I'll need two projectors each side? How do I handle this scenario?
Im confused on how im going to wire this to my car, i also have 9004
You’ll need a 9004/9003 to H1 wiring harness to make it easy.
How did you connect the bi-xenon wiring harness for the high beam?
You'll need to buy a wire harness that has connectors for the Bi-Xenons, enabling an easy connection. Check Ebay or Amazon.
what is the difference between 2.5" and 3" ?
Side of 0.5 inch diameter other than that same
Practically looks. Output is basically the same
I approached this with all the confidence in the world . I still cracked the glass 😒
How to wire?
You can purchase plug N play connectors to enable easy wiring for the H1 kit. An example would be 9003 to H1 wiring kit. It should work.
It's to much work
That’s because you’re lazy
Would this work on the 1992-1999 chevy Suburban/truck/Tahoe gmt400. Nobody makes a decent aftermarket light so they need to be made.
Hallo. Show me the electronic diacram for the leds run, from where can i buy the 2 color led and if with the diode the projector run high and low ligts ?
One question where do u connect the bi-xion connecton that controls the light going bright n dim
Those will get connected to the high beam wires on the headlight harness.
