You all know I have that sport red sedan well I'm getting the chrome ones for it. I don't think the black would look as good with my color. That and the chrome wheels they'll just flow better.

 

hey you should color match the inside, that would look awesome

 

Wtf. I didn't know so many others did this too. Jackalope, can you get some pics of a retrofit you've done? I'm very interested.

 

great post! i was actually looking to have this done in the near future.

 

Jackalope, I am interested. I have a yellow SS/SC and chrome projectors. I have seen pictures of the retrofit they are selling. I have the new 07 stock headlights to convert to projector and hid. Is the highbeam where the turn signal is or do you make it on the bottom? I would like to see leds for turn signal and side markers and painted yellow inside. Tell me what you would need and pricing? Thanks very much.

if you dont want to shop around for parts, or are not sure of which parts you need you could always get a complete kit from those people.

 

Im tempted to retrofit some TSX projectors into my stockers...since they are just sitting here.

and although I love my projectors, I liked the look of my stockers with the Eyelids i used to have.
but Unlike some people....I refuse to blind the **** out of my fellow motorists....
just so i can be cool and have blue HIDs.
So projectors it is for now.


Jack do you have any closeup pics of how you went about retroing yours?

 

Do you have the HID's in your projectors?

 

yeah

 

I wanted TL bi-Xenons baaaaaad , but they were a bit rich for my blood at the time . Whats the diff between the TL's and the TSX's ? Im VERY happy with the E-55's that I got .

 

Sorry guys I had to go drive a train. Anyway heres the only 2 shots of the ones I did for Devon all thats left in these shots was to put the lens back on and the plastic ring to hide the projectors guts.

Enjoy!




Now I can paint them any GM color you like for $10.00 more and if you want LED's just let me know where and how you'd like them and I'll do my best to make them how you want. If all you want is LED turn and markers thats easy! But would also raise the price about $50.00 for the LED stuff.

Any other questions feel free to ask.

 

awesome jackalope. i think you just convinced me to finish my conversion instead.

edit: ha ha i see you still have the sub and amp sitting there.

 

Yup! But its ot like I'm trying to sell them or anything, you were here and you asked thats the only reason I showed them to you.

And thanks for the compliment! +rep added!

 

looks great jack. youve inspired me to do up my stockers.

what projectors do you use? where do you get them?

how is your foreground lighting?

 

Thanks man! I love being an inspiration!

Devon got the projectors off e-bey, not 100% sure what they're from but they had Toyota written on the outside parts so maybe a Lexus.

The light output from them is great! Just like that of a stock high end Lexus since that what the lights are from.

 

would you be interested in doing mine too lol if you get yours done, i dont think im capable of doing it and since you live in edmonton and all haha

 

Lol i dunno how they will turn out....
but it doesnt look that tough.
i just have to find a nice set of TSX, or Infiniti projectors at a good price

I was flippin through some old pics and i really miss my old eyelids.
they look better than my projectors
so i wanted to go back to them, and get better lighting at the same time

 

yeahh i like the stock lights, i was never a big fan of the projectors for our cars, but i love HID light so i don't no what to do. i have time now that schools over so i think im gonna try to retrofit projectors, probably wont be able to do it but maybe that how-to guide will help me, let me know how yours turn out anomalous and what projectors you used

just bought those

 

^^^^ Cool deal man , good luck with ur retrofit .

 

I used a set of Bi-Xenon out of an M3. I had them all put together and had one misalligned. Since I copied Mecury and used spring loaded bolts, it was an easy fix. I didn't like the way they turned out though and gutted the project to start over...just haven't gotten around to it yet.
