Should be easy the second time
I've already taken my headlights to bits, wired up an old computer power supply to test the lights, just have to find somewhere I can mount them and mark the light output before I start cutting... That and wait for my cheapo eBay bulbs to rock up

Any reason you can't use yours? Just mark where you had the reflector, mark the output, cut out, put the reflector back on the marks and match the projector output.

Have to mark on a wall where your light cutoff is, that way when you put the projectors in they'll have a nice flat cuttoff.

There is a lot of vertical and horizontal adjustment so it's mainly the rotation you want to get right.

[A.E]

Could I just adjust it when I put them in?? Or you mean the projectors before they go in the headlights. I'm lost at to what your on about lol.

[SP-20-DB]

I've taken the chrome reflector right out of the housing so it won't matter where my adjustment screws were, exactly like that link above, you should be able to still fit a halogen bulb in there and wire it up to a car battery or computer to get the cutoff, otherwise you'll have to source a left and right headlight.....

Ill just have to do what the other thread says and hot glue the projector till i get it level then do a fine adjustment later. so u started yours already?

Ahh, yeah that'll work too. Not really just getting everything ready to go, got my last exam on Saturday so should be all go after that
Hopefully a full week on it and they'll be done, although it's too cold and wet to paint anything properly now.

[SP-20-DB]

Ahhh cheering im doing the same bumper and lights are coming off this weekend. good luck with the exam. and set up the garage or something with a little room heater. u going to painy your reflector?

[mynameisdaniel]

Cheers, I don't have a dehumidifier so won't be any good painting in the garage. Yeah going to paint the low beam reflector, also got a spare pair of shrouds to paint and see if I prefer chrome or black
Got my bulbs today so I took the HIDs out of my car and put the crappy halogens back in. Set up one of the projectors turned it on in the middle of the day (overcast) and it lit up everything I pointed it at up.
Tip: Don't bother looking directly into the beam from the projector, it just hurts and you can't see anything for the next minute....

Haha yeah, just like you'd expect It's a bit distorted close up (1m away), but I was limited to being inside so the furthest I could shine it was 30m or so, and it was a very sharp and distinct line at that distance Also has a really nice colour band with the spacer in it

[SP-20-DB]

Nice!!!!!
