RETROFIT HIDs for My Protege! :o

Can't wait! I more can't wait for having no glare, that's the big problem. I'm debating whether or not I should put my eyelids on the retrofit set?

god damn jaf, thats a solid piece!!! Did you just epoxy the s*** out of them to make it stick? Also, what is the black surrounding you used? We need a how-to!!
 
I actually had this done by someone else, I don't think i'd have the time and patience to do this myself unlike Chicoloco =(
 
Here are new photos of my retrofit (Acura TL projectors, BMW ZKW lens swap)

That is awesome, what I'm thinking about doing (same light assys too!) Did you buy the projector parts new? How much did they run?
 
lol, great work you guys. Any chance any of you want to do it for someone else. Lol, I live in colorado and I'm wondering a. How hard it might be, and b. if it is hard, if someone could do it for me? . also c. how much all together.
 
You're probably looking at $400 or so for projectors (fx-35 bixenon), ballasts, bulbs and wiring harness.

You want higher quality projectors and ballats, it's gonna cost more

Spare headlights are up to you to decide what kind you want, then, whatever the retrofitter decides he wants paid
 
the jaf has the right idea.....those KZW lens' are niiiiiiiiiiice. I want some for my TL, but.....on the high side money wise.
 
Here it is boys, Acura TL projectors with BMW ZKW lens swap.

This one was before we aimed the lights, at approximately 25 feet.

I'm very happy with the result, really sharp, lots of colour.

The_Jaf, that's ridiculously sexy! You do the work yourself on the retorfit? Can I ask what was done? Is it a vacume formed mold? Any pics during the retrofit? I'm having TL's with zkw lens swap retrofited into Depo lights as well.

I am def. digging the eyelid as well!! Muy Beuno!!!!


Edit-looked one post back. Having them done by someone on theretrofitsource i see. lol

I was talking with your retrofitter

You know theretrofitsource.com sells zkw lens replicas that are nearly identical, right? For like $70 a set or so.
 
Thanks Pro, yeah if you go to the previous page there are some production pics. I didn't do it myself, unfortunately I don't have the time or patience to do it. I am also using the ZKW lens replica, pretty damn nice if you ask me.

Yeah I dealt with Josh from Izntrbl, did a good job but his communication is kind of lacking. I hear good and bad things about him. But for me he did a great job got it back to me in 7-8 weeks from when he started. He's very busy though so the turnaround time can be long.

You're still around man? I had looked for pics of your car a year or two ago and saw they were deleted in your old threads, thought you had moved on.

Any recent pics of your ride?
