Looking to fabricate Projector head lights. Any ideas?
What is the best and cheapest way to make Projector head lights with the option to install DDM HIDs?
|
retrofit projectors into your alero headlight then buy the bulbs that fit that projector....
|
heres a good idea for start.

I keep saying I'm going to do this, but it probably won't be for a very long time. Anyway, check out the retrofitsource Site. They have some pretty nice kits.
|
I did find this on eBay, what do you think?:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/97-03-BMW-e3...3a5a3d&vxp=mtr I'm hoping it will work they look smaller than the projectors posted above. I will also check out retrofit to see how much they are. It does look like an easy install just need to take my time, something I rarely have right now, on the install. |
id suggest acura tsx clear lens projectors, or s2000 clear lens projector. those are the top and best output projectors out there from what ive read.
i planned on doing the tsx ones but i just never got around to it. and who knows i might and i might not. id say stay away from fresnal lens, they are a little less output then clear lens |
i see in the pictures some mounting plates. how did you keep the projectors in?
|
the guy who owns those is mrmike, those are not mine.
|
lol ok
|
you'll have to pm him about it if you want more details.
|
I did a retrofit kit from ebay on my bike, and it was pretty easy to do. Just note, you may need to modify your headlight housing a bit to get them to fit.
|
installing projectors your gonna have to mod the headlight either way. make sure you get a small enough projector, too big and your gonna have some fitment problems.
|
do you know what projectors he used?
|
no idea.
|
they are located in his build thread below...
http://www.aleromod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36114 I wonder what year tho. I will ask, mainly because I want to do the same, with little to know budget. |
i just ordered a set of projector lenses for an s2000. hope they work good
|
I'm going to make bucket for those BMW projector, I just bought off ebay, at work while I still can. The reason I say that is because I found a new permanent job with a bank instead of my current position as a production welder. :D

Just to give some other background info, look for an old thread about HID Kits and how I was talking about what really counts for this.
And to give another incentive here is a write up for a projector build for a 2nd Gen Camaro. The builder put a lot into researching how to do it right and how to pick the right parts. I can make contact if this is a real serious build you plan. http://www.ultm8z.com/HID%20Projecto... 20Camaro.pdf |
Interesting look on the Camaro. First I need to gather materials and make measurements and go from there. I will most likely make the buckets out of sheet metal, hence me current working title sheet metal fabricator. This build might take a while, I have to come up with ideas on whether or not I want to run HIDS and other factors like style and any other idea I may have or had in the past.

update?
|
At a stand still. I'm currently looking for work before I can get back on this project, I should have pics of my installed torque bar by the end of the day.
