This is my second retro attempt and I think I'm doing good so far.
I used FX-Rs on my first retro but one of the projectors was off rotation and I wasn't able to fix it because my car is my daily driver so I decided to build another set.

I bought everything at The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications


Here's what I'll be using.


Cobalt headlight taken apart.





I had to do some trimming but nothing serious, I also sanded the reflector.




Painted shroud and mounted projector.






I'm going to aim the projectors tomorrow, and I'll be updating soon.

 

looks good man! i know how it feels to have an angled fx-r.

so you can mount those without screws? interesting.

 

Thanks
yea you just clamp it there.

 

Update

I Blacked out the Bezels and the middle part of the side marker.

 

nice

 

Thanks.

 

Couple pics with the shroud on.

 

cant wait to see them finished. i wish i would have bought those shrouds now...

 

I hope to finish them this weekend
What shrouds do you have?

 

I have the Apollo shrouds.

 

sub'd for the finish...

 

I like the look of those with a set of angel eyes on.

 

Time for updates

I'm almost done with this project
I aimed the projectors today, it was easier than I thought, I also mounted the shroud and put the bezel back on.
I'm going to seal the headlights tomorrow and I'm going to buff out the lenses someday this week.

Some wall shots.





Almost done.

 

good stuff, where did you buy the mini morimoto's from? I have a set of stock lights i would love to do a retro job on.

What elecblue06 said
Talk to Matt at the www.theretrofitsource.com, I'm pretty sure he can get you a nice deal on a set of projectors.

 

Just ordered from them last night...should be excellent. I ordered the H1 version since I have Gen 4 projectors now which take an H1 bulb so thats an easy swap. No extra purchasing of things.

 

You're not going to be disappointed with the light output of this projectors.
Wait.... Are you going to retrofit them on your Gen 4s?

 

More updates

I received my new Morimoto Ballasts on friday and I also sealed and buffed the headlights.
They are going on the car tonight.

 

nice dude. great pictures as well!

 

Thank you sir

 

I cant get my back reflector piece off of those stupid pegs...what did you do for that?

 

just push hard. thats what i did.

 

they look great!

 

Looking good
