projectors are in

[olds03alero]

well i took them out and put it back to stock today. the heat from the bulbs started melting the projector housing. i'm gonna wait a couple weeks and go with hella 90mm projectors and try it again. the reason they did not look aimed right was because they actually melted in different directions.

where can you buy hella 90mm projectors?

yeah you should of just gone with some projectors from HIDplanet.com

You need to use the proper projectors in order to make this work. Even if you can fit the fog light projector in there, you are going to get fog light performance out of your headlights. You have to spend some decent cash to get this to work properly.

Start by getting a set of correct projectors, such as from an Audi, or BMW etc. HIDs are not necessary but will make this so much better.

This is the set I retrofitted in. They are Audi Projectors and 4300k HIDs

Cost Breakdown: (When I would make them for folks.)
Audi Projectors: ~ $100 (thats on the cheap side)
Decent HID Kit: ~ $400
Hardware, epoxies, etc: ~ $25
Labor: ~ $175
Time - Dremeling, epoxying, cutting projectors, alignment: ~ 8-10hrs minimum.

So it would be an easy $300 w/o HIDs, and upwards of $700 with them.


Im not saying you didn't do a good job partaking in this issue, but based on others experiences, and difficulties doing this project, there is a reason they kept them stock. I did the same thing initially, except I made everything from scratch, made my own projector housing and everything. Melted the shit out of it. Best thing to do is learn from others' mistakes. Like mine! Most of the time someone has "been there, done that" and for the most part survived to tell about it.

nice but you cant paint the entire bezel and just stick a projector in there, you need to mount the projector and cover the surrounding part of the lens so the light is directed through the lens.

I would be interested in getting some... Would you be willing to make some for me? Without the HID kit though...

yeah 300 bucks it not that bad. I can have the money by friday. Do you do paypal?

they look alright, good work but i'm not feeling it. i don't think i would do it to my headlights since i have super white bulbs and the blue reflects from my bulb. it looks cool.

not in the Alero but I do have a set....




They are kinda big...

[lonnie]

Those rally projectors are nice, but 60 bucks a piece...man that is expensive...120 for one head light. I don't see it being easy to mount those in our housings either.

I would be very interested if someone can pull this off.
