Yeah the plastic is very brittle, which is why I asked if this new projector relies on it, but having a looking at old mates photo, I should be right:

 

[justanothermp5]

Yea, you dont need that little clip at all once you put the projectors in, so you should be fine
but if you do get the projectors, you'll have to order the H7 adapter in order to fit them into the P5 headlights since they only come standard with the H4 adapter.

and thanks for all the compliments guys, I like how one of the easiest modifications to my car is getting the most attention lol

Rubbed a hole into my radiator today on my lunch break at work. Was pissing coolant all over the place.
JB welded the hole and good as new....lol sike. I did JB weld the hole, but I also just ordered a Mishimoto Alum. Radiator as well
should be here sometime next week, I hope the JB weld holds that long

How did you manage that?

 

[justanothermp5]

My engine mounts have been getting progressively stiffer with the colder weather, and the car is starting to vibrate more,
so Im assuming the vibrations caused my slim fan to vibrate against the radiator too much and rubbed a hole into on of the fins. Ill take some pics

One thing to do if you have time, is make rubber spacers that would go between the Radiator and the slim fan. That way the fan doesnt rub. =)

What kit did you buy?

^what are you referring to? My headlights?

Yea I had some foam adhesive backed spacers in between there, but I guess it must have fallen out somehow.

I sure am!! Your retrofit likes almost like a plug and play vs. cutting the housing and drilling holes!
Thanks!

 

[justanothermp5]

Yep, there was no cutting or drilling required to fit them, super easy and completely reversible if you want to go back to halogen
but the kit I bought is the Morimoto Mini H1 kit from the The Retro-fit Source, comes with everything needed.

Does the h1 kit come with a plugin to adapt to your factory headlight harness?

Same way the H7's do... just 2 pigtail connectors that you shove in the factory white clip thingy.

Build is on hold.
Got laid off today and I owe the Snap-on guy quite a bit of money, so nothing will be going on with my car until I pay him off.
Ill be posting pics of the rad when it comes in, but thats going to be it

 

[CheeseHelmet]

Damn, why the **** do they lay people off around the holidays? It's such a dick move...

 

[justanothermp5]

Yea....it sucks. but cant do anything about it.
but on positive note, this will be the first real vacation I've had in a while, so thats going to be nice

 

[ogsp5]

I know your pain. Tomorrow is my last day at work. But I have something in the wings.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Damn Simon I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get something soon. Good luck.
