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.
Anyone have any experience on adjusting raceland coilovers? I am currently running 17" wheels and I'm pretty low, trying to get to remove the wheel gap completely. I just ordered a new set or rims and tires as well, I'm going back to factory 15" but I'll be running 8" wide. I'll include pics of...

I want to get a bigger engine in my 2001 2.0 ztec and I want to know what’s possible. I’ve heard small block Chevy engines are nice and I’ve heard that the fusion 2.2 and 2.5 are a hassle. What’s an easy swap I can do?
Is there a 6 speed transmission I can put in it?
Hi everyone! Before I launch into my problem, some backstory:
My car is a 2003 ford focus see wagon with the 2.0zetec and an auto. A while ago, my car had great difficulty starting. This "while" ended up with my car not being able to start at all at a point, despite the efforts of several...
I have a 2004 focus 2.0 zetec with the 4speed auto and 300,500km. I was driving my focus a few days ago, and the transmission just gave up in the middle of traffic. I had almost came to a stop at a light when it changed to green, I was going about 10-20 km/h and pushed down on the gas to...
