Black HIDs

Why can't the new projectors be mounted in the low beam hole? This fellow did it "so when the high beam is activated, the H7 bulb turns on in addition to lowering the high beam shield in the projector. This way, I can flash my high beams without turning on the HIDs."

Upper socket is low beam, lower socket is high beam, so it is possible to install projectors and keep high beams

If one installed projectors in the lower high beam socket, it would sit in the bottom of the headlight and look strange. I think there was a little confusion there.

I don't know it might work, I'm doing a few retrofits this weekend i'll play around a bit. I'm assuming there might be some pretty good shadows as the HID projector protrudes down a bit blocking some of the lower lens. You would also need to leave the inside of the bowel chrome.


I'm getting a ton of questions about the deambering. I am only talking about removing the small amber reflector inside the already clear lights. Many people try to do this with a soldering iron, do a search.
There is no way to remove the Amber on the earlier pre 2002 lights as the Amber is formed into the lens during the manufacturing process.

Help! I can't figure out how to do the wiring with my stock daytime running lights.

According to the Bentley wiring diagram, there are 5 lights in the headlight module. High, low, fog, turn signal, side marker (park light).

I think what you non-DRL folks are wiring to the projector is low beam wires to the bulb and the high to the cutoff shield solenoid. Correct?

I was thinking of retaining the halogen high beams, which would mean splitting the high beam supply to the highs and the bi-xenon solonoid. Doable?

As the stock DRL uses the low beams, does anyone know if the DRL supplies reduced voltage to the lows and will that be an issue for the projector? Anyways, I'd rather use angel eyes for DRL instead of the low beams. Any way to do that?


Also, is it possible to keep all the wiring changes in the headlight module, including mounting of the ballasts on the outside of the end cap?


Anyone with a Canadian car done a xenon project retrofit?

Im also very interested in this conversion! Maybe your first European client

Will start looking for a set of normal headlights!

Looks awesome! What kind of paint did you use to paint inner housing ? Did you paint the entire housing or just the bucket part of the main headlamp area? Any tips or full instructions to do this job would be appreciated.

Thanks, Peter
