Stock healight Projectors

[M///BMW]

I'm really thinking about fabricating the stock headlights with ellipsoids, but the stock lenses are not clear like id like them to be... BTW I have a 1996 Camry LE(Collectors Edition). I would love to keep the stock look of the headlight but also get the output with the ellipsoids and xenon bulbs. Is there any website that have clear lenses for my car? Has anyone else come up with anything like what I'm thinking of?Pics?

ellipsoids? do you mean projectors?

Greg something (sorry i forgot his last name) makes the clear headlight covers for gen 3.5. Search around and you will find him.

Ellipsoids are what they are really called.

I cant confirm that, but everyone just says projectors. if you say Ellipsoids your just gonna confuse people.

TN member Greg Cheban makes clear gen3.5 lenses. Contact him to order a set.

I used bi-xenon porjectors "ellipsoids" with 5000k HIDs.

I have the very 1st set Greg ever made (consider these the prototypes)...




He can also do the entire retrofit for you if you want. You'll just have to suppy the parts.

there are a couple people who have actually done projector retrofits in the 3.5 housings and left the lenses stock. it actually looks pretty cool and the lense doesnt do much to effect spread. id either see if you can get in touch with gregcheban or jsut sand them and polish them yourself.

and for our sake, just call them projecotrs.

btw...welcome to TN

as long as you use HIDs, the stock frosted lenses barely disperse any light at all

Alright thats good... Does anyone have a DIY for it... I wanna try to keep the inside of the headlight as stock as possible but with "Projectors" and hids.

Use search, their are quite a few guides. Also google "projector retrofit" or something like that.

Just be prepared, if this is your first time making projectors, make sure you have the whole weekend to make them. And even then, you might be driving a few days without headlights.

they only have a few threads on how to removing the lense off headlight housing, not projecor retrofit ...

Depending on how soon the projectors arrive, I will do a full DIY thread with pics on retro fit for gen 3 / 3.5 this weekend or next week.

That will include instruction of how to removing the lense off housing using hair dryer, and attaching projectors on the housing on the simple basic.

So if u are interested, PM me or keep checking this section

Use an oven and socks, a hair dryer will take forever.

heat gun is probably the best, even controllable heat..
faster then a hairdryer and more reliable then an oven
