nice cutoff... what brand of projectors are you using?
4100k's look good.

Some Details:
Well, these are Audi A4 ECE Valeo (frezel lens not to be mistaken by the clear lens version..) H7 Projectors with D2S bulbs (H7 adapter) and Hella Ballast...

The retrofit took me about 1 entire springbreak weekend... And ontop of that I was working at night, so coming home with halogens on was not fun.. :-( since my route is in complete darkness........

I don't have any good pictures of my retro fit itself but it's pretty simple. I'm pretty sure it's similar to DJ's methods... Just that I used different shrouds.

That's it...

it looks really nice... i have a buddy of mine retrofitting audi tt projectors (hella?) into his bmw e36... we're at one month and counting because he can only work on it one day a week.

i'd like to sell my bi-xenon catz setup and install bi-xenon projectors... too much $$$ though...

thankfully the h4 cutoff from the oem housings are not too bad.

Mmmmmmm... HID... drool

heh wish i knew how to do all that.. mad props to those of you who have.

Samsonite79 · 04-28-2004, 04:22 PM

All I know is the hardest part was to align the projectors correctly (which I didn't do a very good job at for the driver side)... "Steady hands" with the dremel and try not to mess up your headlamps while cutting it away is the way to go. (but I did mess up..

)

Valeo's are small projectors, and I cut a HUGE hole.., So that means I had to fill it up with JB Weld somehow.. ohwell it worked out and no "condensation" yet.. I hope......... Now my next question is HID stop/tail and reverse lights?????..?

(I hope I'm just kidding)

Compared to my old 9006 (12000k HID) bulbs it's super bright! I would light up the entire road and everyone who is around me would try to follow me (need Rippmods) haha!!.. Their punny light can't compare.. oh well.. enough of that, I love them and it comes in handy when traveling in complete darkness.
