Quad retro housing?

Has anyone had any luck getting just the housing for a quad retro from a manufacturer? I'm interested in doing a quad but I don't know where I'd get the housing from.

Thanks!
Ryan.

I have thought about doing quads in mine, the second projector being a halogen HIR high beam. I was going to place it in the blinker reflector bucket... Other than that you could get the spyder housings and swap out the low beam to a mini H1 and put another Mini H1 in the high beam bucket.

You could do Panamara shrouds (with switchback halos) and utilize the blinker hole. For something else.



The other option is gut the housings, make custom brackets and you can easily fit two side by side in the housing, and still retain the blinker bucket

I've considered it, but haven't done it yet. The turn signal bucket will really only fit a Mini D2S or Matchbox, the regular Mini H1 doesn't quite fit right.
Only condition is that you have to add some leds somewhere for a turn signal.

Or you can get some of the cheesy ones from fleabay or amazon and replace the projector with a good one and put another one in the high beam bowl. That allows you to run a regular turn signal bulb.

Which housing are you going with? TRS has some premade brackets for the Spyder headlights to bolt in replacement projectors. As easy as it can be.

Sounds like I'll have to look into that. I was looking at ones from spec d but they said they don't sell them in any conditions but complete.
