i just have the bulbs connected to one another to protect the connections. i still have to run two ballasts and all that fun stuff like any other HID kit.. nothing special going on here (unless you want to talk relay harnesses)

2 relay power connections
2 switched relay connections
4 grounds
4 relay to ballast connections
2 High Beam Solonoid Connections
8 Ballast to Bulb connections
4 CCFL to power inverter connections
4 LED/power inverter to OEM harness connections
so what is that 30 connections? simple!

right now these will be running lows/highs in the outers, then the inners will be highs only. so two projectors running on lows, then all four on highs. I could've removed the cutoff shields on the inner ones, but i chose to keep them for appearance reasons with my pink demon eye I painted in. all I did was tie the solonoid wires together between the projectors so their cutoff shields act in unison.

here is a couple of pics from my quad projector retrofit. got the idea from Padlock. was just gonna put in a set of FXrs at first but after seeing what he did i figured i could experiment a bit with my Gen 1 headlights. the plan is that the FXr will be my low beam and highbeam. The original projector has essentialy had the shroud trimmed back pretty radically it will be for highbeams only.
anyways PIC's
Lens off
Front Facia out and the bits removed. housing dremmeled out behind where the Gen 1 projector will go. The Fxr is going where the original projector went.
picture of inside the projector with the shroud trimmed back.
Teaser Pic of Gen 1 with the projector in the wrrong place.
i dont have the projector actually mounted yet. thats what its gonna look like though. just with a projector in the other spot as well.
