does anybody know if we can retro fit the stock OEM DA headlights?? i dont have money to buy a jdm or ebay 1 cuz im broke but i gots a extra set of oem headlights… just want know thanks!!
I assume you are speaking of retrofitting HID’s into them? If that’s the case, anything is possible with the correct tools, know how and time. The downfall is going to be that the OEM lenses are glass so sanding away the flutting is going to be tough. and if you by-pass that step, you will have a scattered projection.
Yeah it’s doable… there are some members on here that already did the retro fit. The only problem as stated by ziggy7 is that you won’t end up with a clean cut off line cuz of the flutes in the lens an since it’s glass… it’s probably not a good idea to sand down the flutes as if you would with the JDM 1pcs.
Did you try the 9004 to 9007 bulb conversion yet? If not, try that first and see if you like it… most say it’s a night and day difference when it comes to the oem 3pcs…
just wanted to try it since i was giving a HID kit from my friend and i want to try it on a oem 1… but yeah has any1 tried this yet? please post pics!
Here ya go dude:
he didnt even sand the inside of headlights though… and the output looks the same as non projectors… i dont think i would be doing this anymore… i just scored me JDM 1pieces from some1 on here…
Yeah exactly, that’s why most favored to retrofit the JDM 1pcs instead and even if the flutes aren’t sanded down, I think it has less glare than the 3pc oem lights…
thanks for the info
but i dont think im going to be cutting or be retro fitting my 1 peices anytime soon…
That retrofit in the link above didn’t use xenon projectors either, which could account for some of the glare. He used halogen projectors out of a 3rd gen Integra.
a kit is not a retro fit. A retro fit is using HID projectors from a vehicle that came factory with HIDs like a BMW. Just want to make that clear.
