gold94corolla DIY - HID Projector Retrofit

I sent them to Jesuel... I think he posts on here??? Black car with a white body kit.

okay.. question now is, where do you get those projectors? and how much are they?

Here you go:

I bought the 1.0 version which was much cheaper. Love these. I was never left wanting more than what these offer.

The gif doesn't do it justice. I'll take a better picture later so you can get the idea of the range it offers. My HIDs are white, but for some reason they come out a bit blue in pics.




Credit all goes to Chris, of course.

awesome pics

LOL, I can't any credit for your work or pics Kenny!

I can, however add my own pics, which I am always fond of remembering

I wonder if I can modify me aftermaket 1's, I need more light.
I've just fixed my turn signals and park lights. Pics soon.

Holy smokes Chris! I forgot how epically powerful the quads were! lol I'd feel really bad for anyone who encounters you uphill.

You can modify any lights! I modified aftermarket lights before I did this DIY... that's where those bright output pictures came from.



I know the head lights you have now, those were in fact my first projector lights. I never opened those up though, but you can easily replace that projector with a better bixenon.

LOL... yes it was hugely bright, and the highbeam stretched forever. But I did remove these lights, partly out of courtesy for others, hence why the next lights only had a normal pair of projectors, not 4.

How do you mean "ruin it"? When using a projector, you can paint the entire head light black if you wanted to. Not sure how painting would ruin it. My light up there^^^ is painted. I also painted inside the fog lights black.

but bro em not using projectors first i was going to buy bzt head lamps because they were so cheap that they sold out and now the ones that are here are very expensive so was thinking of painting my bezels black instead of getting complete lights so will the light rays of the halogen bulb be affected if the bezel is painted black

Ah cool, I see now.

Have no worries! You can very easily paint that outer bezel section with a flat black to get exactly the BZtouring lights.

Here is a picture of the ones I opened, you can see the black section is completely separate from the reflectors for the halogen bulb.

oki thanks bro will do that next month when i get le allowance

Le allowance? You can do it for free! (except the spray paint of course)

lol last time me and my brother opened head lights we ruined them so this time im gonna get them done professionally and they need some buff too and plus have to take the bumper lights out also all four of em to get em buffed and black chromed

OIC. Good luck.

but first ive hit my car from the front many time both lighs have been pushed inside fenders are not aligned propery making gaps in the indicater areas and the bumper is starting to break from the repaired joints i really need to restore my car lol to many dents dings scratches.if nt restore them maybe have the front end sorted out becuase night driving is hard in this car especially in my unaligned lights

I love driving at night! Even without any real modifications to the lights, just bulbs. The white HID reflectors and yellow HID fog projectors put out so much light. But I got stuck driving my mom's van at night on Friday... and those old halogens are so hazed up that no light comes out! I can't even tell the lights are on lol. So I hope you can get it restored soon, since driving without good lights is no fun.

bro forget fun driving with dim lights at night is dangerous..........

I agree, driving with dim lights sucksssssss. I had these blue bulbs in my car for a while, they were good with my circular aftermarket headlights (ones I got on again), till I got in an accident and had to get these square aftermarkets, output was terrrrrible. As of now my driving lights are good, my brights kinda suck. I'm thinking of getting a xenon upgrade and getting some fogs somewhere on the bumper.

The circular lights like in your sig were the first ones I had, they definitely had better output than stock, even with white bulbs. Time to retro!

Doin a retro fit would be badass Maybe once I get the money I'll make my own with two projectors in each headlight

If you could pull that off then !! I'd love to see it.

Something for me to think about

well just reading this is it 200 degrees celcius for 30 mins are you sure this wont melt anything ?
