Custom headlights conversion to Litronic style (w/pics)

[particlewave]

This is the kit that I ordered.
It's $150 now, but still a good deal. When ordering, specify H1 bulbs, the color temperature that you want, and angel eye color. I went with 4300k and they are a very bright white(don't like the blue look on headlights).

Here is a pic of the CCFLs that came with the kit(before I broke it and replaced with led). As you can see, they are very bright and look nice.




This is what happens when I decide not to leave well enough alone




And my DIY LEDs...even brighter!

Hey Particleweave.

I'm looking at doing a similar mod with what looks like the same kit. Can I ask, do you still have the standard high beams fitted? The reason I ask is the "flash" function is usually pretty poor on a bi-xenon car if the lights are off. They take so long to warm up that the moment is gone by the time you've flashed the high beams.

Most of us who've done a retrofit keeps the high beam H7 halogen bulb in place mate. It sit right below the bi-xenon projector. Flashy-flash enough!

Thanks Nine8Six. So is the bi-xenon part redundant or have you hooked up the H7s & the gaurd that flips on the HIDs?

[Nine8Six]

HID Ballast > to Low beam H7 connector (get rid of the halogen bulb)
Bi-xenon Solenoid > to the High beam H7 connector (keep the halogen bulb in place)

The solenoid only draws a meaningless 0.03 amp when activated so no crisis for the high beam circuitry.

Hope this helps

It certainly does. Thanks Nine!
