Projector Retrofit Question

[blacklabel5281]

I have a simple question. There was a website that builds the retrofit for you. Does anyone have this website? This is the main thing I am wondering, I currently have halo headlight housings should I switch them out for oem 99 headlight housings for the retrofit or use the halo housings I currently have? Secondly is it possible to have due HIDs? I saw a mazda 6 that had pink lights on the inside and blue on the outside and it looked pretty sweet.

It's easier to use the projector housing than the reflector one. As for the other question, idk wtf your're talking about.

If you're going to do a proper retrofit, you'll have to use the projector housings. They're made for a projector, but might need modified depending on which projector you end up using.

My guess for the 2 different colors may be a halo, or ring of light around the projector. You can get these from eBay that can be set to 7 different colors. This could be pink, purple, blue, etc. and then the blue in the middle was probably the HID light.

I would take a look through this forum (you have to sign up to view it) and read, read, read. There is a lot of good info in there.

crap haha I meant to say dual projectors running at the same time. I have the halo ring on my current headlights but I don't much care for them so I will not be wiring them up. That Mazda 6 had two sets of projectors running at the same time with different bulbs. I was wondering if I could do the same thing and take out the high beam section and replace it with another projector unit.

I can't say I've ever seen/heard of someone running dual projectors. I believe it'd be possible (as you'd just be running a projector instead of a reflector). And if you wanted to use the 2nd projector as a high beam, you'd have to get rid of the cut-off line in the projector. Otherwise the light output would just be as it was which would be a low beam.

Is there any reason why you'd want to run dual projectors though? That would probably get into some pretty tricky wiring, which the stock wiring might not be able to handle - especially if your ran HID bulbs in both sets. If you just ran halogens in the 2nd set, but housed them in a projector, that should be fine. I personally just don't see the need/reason to do this.

It would just be for looks and I was just wondering if it would be possible. Like I said before some mazda 6 had it done and it looked pretty kewl but now that I think of it I don't belive they were projectors because at night they didn't seem to have a cut off. They just opened up all the way and went everywhere.

You can run two projectors in your headlight, as in high beam and low beam. I'm pretty sure it's illegal though because of the warmup time or something with the HIDs. In the high beam, you need halogen bulbs so you can flash them and not need warm up time or something. I'm not positive on this, though. New bimmers and such run bi-xenons, where in normal low beam there is a flap that makes the cut off line and when the high beams are turned on, the flap flips up allowing the entire projector to shine with no cut off and the high beam halogen reflector also goes on. Either way, it is doable to put two projectors in there...
