the mini h1 is on my to do list. THanks for the pictures of the output Pro!
No problem TegFan!
if i use mini h1 or d2s it will bolt right in and tight it up thats it no modification or little to no cutting needed? on the ebay clear lense headlight. and am i able to use 55w ballast or 100w lol jk but im thinking about realstic 35 or 55 whats ur option? sorry too much question if u dont mind lol
You will need to cut the reflector bowl the projector goes into because it doesn’t exactly fit, and you need to cut the shroud for the same reason
Here is a guy that shows pictures of how he did his with the same mini h1 kit and the same ebay headlight: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?45388-Recent-retrofit-project-for-a-friend-s-93-Integra-with-Morimoto-Mini-H1-s&highlight=integra
no i mean do i have to cut where the blub goes in make it bigger do i have to glue it on or it will bolt right up? cant wait to buy it and see it to get idea i dont mind cutting up the shrouds or reflector
Oh haha my bad, no you don’t have to cut the hole at all the back of the projector goes through the hole and you tighten down with a nut that’s supplied.
so i can adjust the projector from one piece housing correct? like stock adjusting screw sounds awesome my gf been complaining about my lousy hid output (its my radiator support shh dont tell) the headlight isnt lined up i will fix the support when im putting retrofitted headlight on same time hehe
Since the eBay one pieces have the adjustment screw you can adjust them up and down.
whats difference between those h1 and d2s?
I believe the D2S projector is made for the D2S bulbs and I think the projector is a little bigger that the H1, where as H1 is made for the H1 bulbs.
If you’re talking about the bulbs themselves, Each is slightly better that one another in different situations and they are different sizes. Most OEM setups have D2S bulbs.
When I was first looking into doing the retrofit I emailed TRS and they recommended me to do the H1 projectors. On the site I found that the D2S mini projectors dimensions are slightly different than the H1. The important dimension to take into consideration is the mounting shaft dimension. The H1 is 23mm and the D2S is 33mm. I wasn’t sure if difference was significant to point where the D2S is too big to fit in the bulb hole with no modification. So I went with the H1 because that’s what was recommended.
here are a few of my ebay headlight retro i just finished
morimoto mini H1 5.0/ mini gatling shroud
can see the reflection from painted shield
test fit before resealing
i dont know why but i think all these retro fits look horrible and completely ruin the looks of the da
^^ you are entitle to you opinion. 1 of the best mods you can do IMO, and it looks great.

X2 it either looks good or it doesn’t it just depends on what you like.
the jdm one piece looks really good “the looks” but id rather have a better light output but when i do a retrofit i might use the jdm piece lenses and sand down the flux what ever it spell out lol
bwright81 it looks good with flat black reflector it looks awesome but are u going to do a retrofit in fog light housing too? that would be super duper awesome too lol
It has crossed my my mind but space is extremely tight in there, I may give it a shot one day. hell at that point I might as well ditch the reflector all together and do a quad projector retro plus projector fogs!
dang that would be a lot of projectors haha. Speaking of fog light modifications, I found some capsules at pick n pull and decided to put them in. Just had to open up the hole the original bulb goes into and screw the capsule in place, done.
yeah its really tight in there had to rip the reflector out and cut some of projector housing with dremel made it fit i made sure it fits lol
heres my project i did last month http://forums.g2ic.com/showthread.php?214601-Fog-lights what do u guys think?
im not even going to use this projector though i wanted one with yellow lens and ones with better cutoff cuz this one looks terrible and not bright enough and lens doesnt look clear like it supposed to be :shrug: cuz of chevrolet’s terrible design quality maybe lol
what u mean lot of projectors? i dont think it will be overkill lol those cutoff looks amazing with yellow on bottom and white on top against garage door or something makes me want to do it
I don’t know man, he’s talking about doing a quad projector and a fog light projector which would be 6 projectors total 3 per head light lol. I’d have to see it before I could completely make an opinion on it. That cut off for the fog lights looks pretty sick though lol.
yea it does it will be awesome if 3 projectors lol one regular bi xenon projector along with super bright high beam projector prototype shit lol im trying to make it amazing easy to drive with good headlight outputs easy to read cluster and convexed mirror easier to see minimun blindspots and a armrest with cup holder power locks with remote and automatic window rolling up when alarm is armed my dream is fukkin insane driving me nuts haha
