06+ Round foglight projector retrofit
 

Complete write up coming soon!

Since there are some people that want to do a 06+ round fog light retrofit but would like to know whats needed. Here's a quick look at the projector needed to do this retro.
First off "The Retrofit Source" is selling a matchbox projector for a limited time only. The matchbox projector fits very well into the round fogs. Don't expect a huge light increase with these just due to their size. I have no output pictures of these yet.

Over all I did this in 1.5 hours with old damaged fog lights. Trying to use a Mini H1 projector would be very hard to do as you can see in the first picture. If I was keeping this damaged fog light lens, I would have to bolt the projector with 2 bolts and align cutoff.

Nice.....standing by for pic updates...:beers:

Cool! I knew the matchbox would work in those smaller 06+ foglamps. Output wont be nearly what the MH1 is, but still far better than the factory halogen. Quad high beams alone is worth the effort!

Anxious for output pics.

:lurk:

:drool:

The MH1 looks like it would fill it better. Sub'ed

By looking at the first pic, there is no way it would fit. Too long.

I agree. Unless you want to cut the back off the fog light housing and remanufacture it. Even with the matchbox it's almost a tight fit. A 1/8 or less to spare.

Anything will fit with enough duct tape :thumbsup:

Subscribed! I'm ordering mine today

Post more pics! I might look into doing this to my fogs.

Dumb questions from the peanut gallery...

1. Is that a melted spot on the lens already ?

2. Did you test with and without the factory lens, to know if this changes the light pattern ?

Nice.
