HID RetroFit

[TCam01]

hey guys i got lucky and came across these headlights while helping the bank clean out a neighbors house. I pick it up to throw them away and thank god i looked at em because there it is was a projector lol i got 2 free projectors here's one out of the housing


my question to you guys is will that ballast and whatever cable thing work on my car and I'm thinking of buying the black anzo headlights with the halo rim anything i should know before i do this lol tell me what you guys think

what are they from? they look like D2S bi-xenon HIDs in which case youd have to do some rewiring but others have done it with success.

there from a bmw I'm not really sure which one tho i have pics of the hid bulb and the sticker that was on the headlight housing i put on the ballast. What kind of rewiring are we talking about lol

Awesome find!!!

You'll need an adapter harness to plug the low beam(9006) harness into the ballast. Then you'll need to splice the wires of the cut-off solenoid into the high beam(9005) harness for the high beam function on the projectors to work.

I used BMW projectors in my retrofit, but the BMW shrouds, were way to big to fit in the Camry headlight housing. I bought a smaller set of shrouds, but even those had to be modified. Be prepared to do a bit of improvising.

You can even just call them, and ask all the questions you want. They're very helpful. I'll be getting a complete builder kit from them maybe this summer.

kudos man so i need that only don't i still need the d2s conversion kit with the ballast and all the goodies or no. So even if i don't want to convert the high beam do i still need to splice wires an shit i really could care less about my high beams to be honest lol i don't even use em when jackasses pass by me with reflector housing hids an i fear for my life lol i appreciate the help so far guys thanks alot that's why i love this site so much

Do you know if they work?
Better to test them out first before spending the money on parts and stuff.

You don't need "the d2s conversion kit with the ballast and all the goodies" as long as the ballasts and ignitors you've got there are good.

That relay harness is really all you need for the electrical part of.
I got a harness from ebay for cheap and the quality of it was actually very good, just make sure you get the one with the right connectors.

You don't HAVE to splice for the high beam solenoid, but it's nice to have that blinding flood of light when you need it.

Here's a DIY: GEN4 Projector Headlights to help get you started:

Buy the adapter harness 1st. Can't test them if you can't get power to them. You're going to need that harness anyway.

ok

[TCam01]

[TCam01]

The harness finally got here i thought it was for only one headlight turns out it powers both.... awesome so here's the pic.
