Welp, after a month of messing with my retro, breaking 3 different reflector bowls because of adhesion promotor cracking them, trying to adjust rotation, tuning these dang projector and nicking the cut-off shields and having to get a second set of cut-off shields yada yada. Its finally do..kinda..
After getting them rotated and sitting perfect I went to put the lens on and must have clamped the lens down to hard and tweaked the headlights. So for now I am going to shim the headlights at the mounting points to get them in place.

So no need to bore you guys with the beaten to death "how-tos". Everything is essentially the same except in my own unique ways.

Mounting:
I didn't go with the epoxy route. I decided to go with the technique called "spring on bolt" which allows for adjustment left and right after mounting the projector, and also acts as a shock absorber. Sorry no pictures, but here is link to what it looks like. http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/show...-chrome-bezels.

Ballasts:
With this retrofit I decided to go all OEM so I am using matsu****a gen V ballasts. the down side is they are only partially potted(water proof) so I had to figure out how to keep these from getting wet.
your best bet is to moung them to the housing by cutting a 3" hole on the side and seating in the ballast. then putting a bead of butyl glue around the rim and bolting them down.






Now onto specs and pictures!!!!!
modded Rx350 projectors (STI-r clear lens, spaced lens legs, EU slope shield swap)
CBIs
Matsu****a Gen V ballasts
G37-r shrouds
110mm amber Xbaled rings
OEM housings





just one headlight output

 

Dude....that output is SYCK!!!! I want CBIs

 

Looks awesome.

 

Looks great!

 

Looks sweet!

 

Thanks guys!
I love the output of these CBIs. They are a tad green tho. I guess i gotta get about 50 hours behind them before they settle to a nice, brought 5000k.

I'll get more output shots once everything is aligned and I borrow a better camera.

 

They were on sale in February for 25% off. Shoulda picked yourself up a pair

 

The whole thing is so clean! I literally said that out loud, and the output is crazy! I don't know how I didn't see these before. Very nice Brad.

 

When do we get to see some more output pics!

 

Thanks Bud! Ya took ya long enough to notice this

When I finish fixing all the rotation issues. Right now I have the headlight shimmed, need to shim a little more to get where I wanna be.. I just really don't wanna crack these things open again and risk messing this up, my luck I would break yet another bowl.
But don't worry once all is pretty I'll be getting more pictures

 

Got my rotation and aiming closer, but still not perfect. I'm satisfied till I really get bored and wanna take the lights apart.

These are from about 40' or so away.






And some collah flickah!!

 

Lookin' good!

 

Here are some real world shots. With my camera phone sorry. Still aimed a tad close. Will adjust on a later date.

 

sub'd so I can see the pics at home

 

Talk about bright!
