***UPDATE***
Check PAGE 2 for Completed Pics!



Finally started work on putting together some projector headlights.

I started out with buying used/not installed Rayme Lenses.
And a spare set of low headlights to do work on.

Months later, last week I purchased Morimoto Mini H1's from TheRetrofitSource.


I was playing around with ideas for shrouds, and tried my hand at vacuum forming.. not bad I guess.

But I'm going to try something else.

Today I got antsy and had to try em out.. took awhile to remove the bumper kind of a PITA
*Note: Shrouds and Clear Lenses not installed yet*



Upclose


Against the garage the light pattern difference is obvious.


Both.. NOT adjusted yet!

where did you get the clear lenses from?

I bought em from Jrunik, I believe they were from the Rayme GB..

So they're not the ones Malhar95 made?
The ones in your pic look pretty clear.

No, not Malhars.
His do look pretty similar though.

Looks good!

what'd you use to get the projector assembly to stay in place in the housing? and what are the projectors out of? I am trying to do the same with some out of an rx350

Thanks!


The projectors aren't from anything. They're special made for retrofitting. So the thread on the back side of the projector sits snuggly inside the original bulb hole and is tighten buy a nut that is seated perfectly in the back
Here:

Got the highs done and finished the shrouds today!


And a little something special!!!


Ahhhh I'm so excited

A little setback tho the LED strip for the other headlight isn't working properly
Gotta contact TRS to see what they can do about getting me a working one.

Once I get that sorted out I can seal the lights, and button her back up!

Loving these lights!!

Thanks

Question to all you wiring guru's..
Whats the best way to go about wiring the led strips to act in place of my turn signals (ie: running corner lights/ blinkers)??
Strips use 9-12v, has 1 positive wire and 1 negative wire.
Stock turns use 3 wires..

Any help? Thanks.

Wow those high beams look freakin mean!

Thanks!

Another small update: got in contact with TRS, they should be sending me a replacement strip for the defective one! once I get that she should be ready to light up the streets!

beautiful lights, minus the led's what did it cost you to make?

$120 for Projectors
$25 for LED's
$15 for H1 HID's
$40 for thermoform plastic
$50 for clear lenses
------
$250 for the whole project.
Bare minimum only would have cost ~150 but I wanted a nice shroud and leds..

Is there a link or something where I can get those clear lenses? I also want to do a retrofit but I cant find any clear lenses...

Nicely done.

They're custom made but you can try messaging malhar95. He was making them before.


Thanks

Thanks for all the warm replies!

Hopefully can them fully done sometime this week and take some pics on the car
