I got them before they went up from $379 usd, they are now $475. They are mini h1 with 6000k. One was missing the highbeam bulb and the other the turn bulb was burn out. Other then that they are ok.

And if you do it yourself, you're looking at maybe $200; if you get the high end projectors and add LED strips or halos.

I put in a pair of MiniH1 projectors from Amazon, which are $60, in my buddies Hyundai and it's basically the same output I have with the Morimoto.

Ive checked out HID Planet, but they are more about retrofitting stock OEM headlights to HID Projectors, which I just dont have the know how or the cash to do that

Then you can't afford to have HID.

I also got flashed constantly at night.

You will always get flashed at night when you have a glare kit installed in a projector meant for halogen. Just be glad you don't live near me. When I flash people that buy their HID from ebay my rigid 21,000 lumen light bar comes on.

When you first start out modding, how the hell are you supposed to know the difference? It's a process. Light bars are about the same annoyance with larger trucks down here. Hopefully you don't have it on your focus.

the one thing that's a must is a set of good projectors, That's my .02 over any other mod.

Im thinking of going with some Spec-D projectors, since they seem to have the brightest LEDs:

12-14 FORD FOCUS BLACK HALO R8 LED STRIP DRL PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS

I think they are the Spec-D. Anyways, I will be getting HIDs as well and need to know if my 2012 Focus will need a Relay Harness or Canbus Error Free Adaptor? Are these necessary? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

You will need the right size bulbs, ballast relay harness and resistor (for the bulb out error). For the hid to work right.

 

[guy566]

by capacitor you mean the canbus adaptor? And will not using a relay harness cause any problems?

I was also interested in these, but I think they are the same as the ones I linked above, what do you guys think?

I'd be wary of any ebay unit. I'd rather get something from carid.com or something directly (I believe they sell Spec-D if you really want those).

But, as for the wiring, I suggest you reach out to theretrofitsource.com and ask them what you'll need exactly.

Then report back, cause I'm going to need that identical item too

 

[Opee33]

sorry yea you will need a Resistor so the car thinks there is a bulb still there.

this is what you need. you will need everything listed in the diagram or it will not work. Resistor get very hot so don't mount them somewhere they can melt stuff.

CableGuy7556 is currently in the process of making my Retrofits. They will have LED halo around the Morimoto Projectors, and a 6" LED strip. I will post pics once I get them

I take it you like these RebelX? I cant wait to have these on my car!

They're my second choice! I prefer the mini d2s, but the mini h1 is definitely the easier install. The d2s will allow you to use OEM bulbs and a 55w ballast should you choose to use one.

 

[guy566]

Im sticking with a 35w kit

The kit I bought is an OPT7 Boltzen Series Canbus HID kit, 5000K bulbs, H1, came with relay harness and capacitors and built in canbus in the ballasts. I already have the kit, it arrived yesterday and I must say, it looks like a very nice kit and not like those cheap $30 kits.

I was debating getting a Morimoto HID kit, but this OPT7 Kit was $80 with all the above included and got a lot of great reviews online, so I think it will look great
