So guys, what do you get when you mix 02 Facelift euro headlights
With Land Rover LR3 Bi-xenon projectors
And Authentic BMW E46 shrouds?
Well I don't know either, but it's gonna be badass [wiggle]
This is just a teaser thread, I intend on making a progress thread after I get the bulbs and ballasts.
My plans are as follows:
*Paint headlight housings gloss black
*Clear turn signal
*LED strip for running light
*Painting the shrouds Teal to match my valve cover
The last two I'm still on the fence about doing, so some input as to how the LEDs should look and if I should paint the shrouds would be awesome. Maybe you guys could photoshop my headlight pic to give me some ideas. [cheers]
You should do a how-to I've always wanted to know how you guys do it, I want to get some facelift headlights my self and retro-fit them too. I just don't know how or where to get the parts or what would work.
Sure thing, I can sell you the signals whenever I get my clear ones.
And as far as bulbs go, still deciding on the 85122 and 85122+.
My process is going to be a little slow, I need to nab a set of stock headlights so I can run those temporarily. I'm also going to be retrofitting my old FX35's into my friends RSX Type-S this Tuesday, so I'll see how that comes out since I'm going to mount my projectors the same way. I'll definitely do a how-to and take lots of pictures.
Only other progress I made thus far was order my STi-R lenses from TRFS.
Well guys I have some bad news. It seems this project is dead before it really got started. I took one side off to get some measurements, and it seems that these headlights won't take my projector--or any for that matter. The reflector bowl depth seems to be hardly 3", so that mean's over half of the projector would be sticking out, so it would interfere with light adjustment and quite possibly look silly.
Why not just make a mold out the back of the 2002's? I am probably going to be doing that with my ST170's.
Or if you feel daring, put the bi-xenon's in the High beam location and do something interesting with the low beam area?

I thought of this, but the projector will be sticking out a large amount, and it will pose some problems to the aiming. If it needed to be aimed down, it would hit the housing of the headlight because it sticks so far out.
I think i would see about sticking the projector out a little farther than cutting up your cover. I really don't think it will look bad if the projector is sticking out more. Then if that doesn't work then i guess your going to have to hack it up. The joys of retrofitting. Well good luck with it
PVC with a cleanout is your answer. I have done many retros on cars from cavilers to supra's. My supra has 10 total projectors on the front end. All 55w HID.
New to the forum. I have a question about how much voltage I can put into the electric system of my car. I have plans to build a 4s100p Lion battery pack for my car. I have an engine kill switch and do a lot of coasting which kills my lead acid battery quickly. Also when I start up the engine to...
Replaced front lower control arms and stabilizer bar end links recently. The control arms only came with the ball joint nuts and bolts and since many people reported re-using the other control arm nuts and bolts without issue, I did the same. All was well after alignment but the new alignment...
Hey all, I had a leak coming from the camshaft position sensor – the O-ring failed on my car, and I was also getting a slightly random idle, so decided to replace it and clean up the oily mess. If you need to replace this sensor on your car, feel free to check out the video below – hope it helps…
Is it possible to remove the front right electric window motor from a MK1 Focus without removing the entire regulator assembly from the door?
I ask because I have traced the issue with my passenger side window not working to the motor itself since power is going through the wires but ther...
My 2005 ZX3 is having a hard time starting. It cranks for 5 seconds or so before starting. I checked the fuel pressure with a scan tool. It's about 40 psi while running, then when shut off, it drops off very quickly.
I pulled the fuel rail, pressurized the system, but did not see any of the...
