the ones i made are in my sig. there fx-r projectors and apollo shrouds.

 

i too have apollo shrouds... they're sexy lol.

 

he paid 400 and they sent him brand new headlights that were retrofitted, im sending mine and having them retrofitted for 270

 

I agree with this. They're really not worth the money, and I have them. Looking back, I wish I had saved the money and gotten the Mini H1 kit or a better retrofit set from the start.

 

go to theretrofitsource.com and get the d2s morimoto mini's and the shrouds you like best. if you call them, they will tell you everything you need. theyre great people. from what i understand the minis clamp right in.

 

I know what you are talking about because I have seen some of the "Custom" jobs, and they are a lot better, all the way around.

For the price of buyhid.com's GB I can't complain. Install is a breeze if you don't get a dead relay... lol. I've never really done the whole retro/HID set up before, so buyhid.com Retro's worked out perfect for me. I've only had mine in for a couple weeks now, but I love them.

 

I got my buyhids retrofits off a guy here on CSS that bought them and then didnt use them. They were new and never mounted. I paid half of what they would have been directly from buyhids. So, for me, it was a bargain I couldnt pass up for new stock headlights with projectors, relays, harnesses and bulbs all included.

I did look into the morimotos and I really liked what theretrofitsource had to offer. I just didnt want to mess with the building part cause I didnt want to f-up the stock housing.

 

The mini D2s require a tiny amount of cutting to the reflector. The mini H1 needs none.
Oh I'm not saying they're bad projectors, they still much better than aftermarkets and they cost less, I just feel that for as much as they cost, by spending a little more, you can get far better projectors.

 

Agreed
If I had spent 400+ on them then I would have invested a little more on custom ones. Ive seen the awesome output and cutoff that the g35 and the ones from nissan put out.

 

yeah i just feel like they arent really true projectors unless they take a d2s style bulb. lol

 

I understand where your coming from on this, I feel the same way. For most of the people on here who would rather save the work and are afraid to cut though, the mini H1s are a good choice, since they install exactly the same way and are just as easy to install as the G3s that buyhids.com uses.

 

hey tommy in your sig right now what are those? mini H1's?

 

No they're G1 projectors, which buyhids.com used to sell. Now they sell G3s, which I personally don't feel are as good.

The reason I know as much as I do about the Mini H1s is that I'm working on installing them in my Grand Prix right now (or whenever I finally get some free time).

 

That's unfortunate...D1S/D2R/D2C, Valeo H7 ECE, ect.

Take, for example, the mini H1 projector...outperforms quite a few OEM D2S projectors, but runs an H1 bulb. To each his own, I suppose.

Anyways, the MH1's outperform the MD2S as suprising as it is (or isn't) to the people who said non-D2S projectors aren't true projectors? Check JVX's thread on HIDPlanet.com with output pictures of all the various bi-xenon projectors. The MH1 has better width, foreground lighting, and beam intensity than the MD2S; the only thing I like better on the MD2S is that the cutoff step is a softer curve rather than a hard step...both cutoffs are very nice though.

 

We have discontuined our Retrofits. There made in the USA not china.. but are almost the same thing. We are now using The Mini's for much less then other vendors All Halo Colors available as well!

 

For those inquiring about the TL's, they do fit and mount to the factory reflector, trust me I have done a set with them and numerous other retrofits for clients. The TL's don't have much room to work with and are difficult to get in there properly. The FX-R's are much easier to mount and the output is comparable to the TL. Mini H1's output is better than the D2S and as mentioned require no work.

 

The "Retrofit Package" on your site sells for $229.99 + shipping, which includes (I'm assuming) the mini H1 projectors, shrouds, ballasts/bulbs? TRS sells the mini H1 projectors (including shrouds) for $120, free shipping w/coupon code, and then a DDM H1 kit would run you about $38...so $160 altogether. I suppose if you're including the 9007 harness that's another $20 or so to the total.

How much are you selling just the projectors/shrouds for ('much less than other vendors')?

Thanks.

 

The best retro fit for the $ is the Morimoto D2S kit from retrofitsource. They are a little dimmer than the H1's, but have a better beam pattern and less hot spots.

I rock TL projectors (bi-xenon). BOOM!

Here's a link to the kit I used to rock:

I didn't know that, good to hear vendors getting higher quality products!

 

We do, #1 thats our old retrofit package..Hence the picture on the site and the post Above yours... Please pay attention before you try and "bash" Thanks!

Yes, We are still working out the pricing with them. there not on the website yet tho.

 

I'm not bashing, you douchebag; you said you were selling them for "much less then other vendors" (note that I left your bad grammar from your original post in the quote), so roll your eyes in some other direction.

Let me quote another part of your post -- "We are now using" -- it sounds to me like you used the verb "use" in the present tense, hence why I assumed that was the pricing on your website. No where in your original post did you say "we are now using the mini H1 projectors, we sell them for less than other vendors, but don't go look at the price on the website since I haven't updated the website even though it only takes 20 minutes to edit a page and upload it".

So you pay attention, you wanna-be elitist over-priced HID-selling d-bag. As you can tell from a lot of posts in this thread, people who are informed about HIDs all think the same thing, most won't say it, and those who don't, just don't know any better.

And while you're at it, go back to college and brush up on your English skills. Your grammar is atrocious.

 

Its a forum your getting mad over the interwebz. haha Again, as mentioned in the other posts if you missed it..we discontinued our old retros and now use the Mini H1's. Prices are not yet listed.

 

Its a forum dude, who cares about grammar, plus if u couldn't figure out what he said, then maybe u should go back to college.....

 

And the bandwagon begins; it doesn't matter where you're speaking or typing, you should always want to make a good impression. Actually, making an impression shouldn't matter, an understanding of your language shouldn't be shadowed because you're on the internet.

I did figure out what he said, if you would have read my post; he mentioned that his company moved to the MH1 projector and that he was selling them cheaper than any other verndor; so, taking from that statement, the next logical step would be to check his website to see the prices. I did that, then he went on the defensive telling me to "pay attention" and putting a smart ass eye rolling face; oh trust and believe I was paying attention, he should have clarified that even though they were currently using MH1 projectors, the price on their website doesn't reflect their current inventory.

To the buyhids.com guy, I'm not getting mad at all, you went on the defensive (even though you were in the wrong for not clarifying your pricing on your website did not reflect your actual inventory), so I'm going on the defensive also. I didn't miss anything, you said you discontinued your G3/G1 projector retrofits and started using MH1 projectors, if you would have said "Prices are not listed yet" in your first post like you did just now, everything would be peachy.

Regardless, it's over; OP - theretrofitsource.com has everything you need and will have 9007 adapter plates in the next month or so, all you will need to do is take your headlamp apart, put the 9007 adapter and projector in, and everything is horizontally level and ready to go. The MH1 comes with H4 and H7 adapters, but the 9007 design was made for TRS so they'll be the only MH1 vendor with the adapters for 9007 bulb sockets.

 

Hooray for reading! lets get back to the thread folks!
