G'day ppl, Thought Id start this thread to show you a custom set of ER34/BNR34 HID HLs that I'm going to be finishing hopefully this weekend. The custom projector HLs that I've seen on the net so far look like Sh!t tbh... Here are the specs & parts list for the HLs: * Full Satin Black finish using VHT Prime Coat SP305. Produces an effortless smooth finish * Honda Euro (aka: TSX) HID projectors sourced by Jesse Streeter off Yahoo Auctions Japan * 2.5" TSX-R clear lenses from TheRetrofofitSource . com * 3" OEM E46 shrouds with the XENON logo. Sourced from eBay Let the pix begin: RHS HL pulled apart. High beam reflector masked up to keep dust free: OEM E46 shroud will be retrofitted to sit inside the HID reflector: Pic of both XENON logos. Unfortunately, the R34 one has to go: The reflector is attached to the HL housing at 3 points. I took these pics so I could see the position on the adjustment screw for when it comes time to removing the reflector off the HL. Here's a pic of the Honda Euro projector disassembled. The cut off shield is masked and ready for paint: Close up: Projector cutoff shield after 2 coats of VHT Red paint: Crappy OEM fresnel lense vs Aftermarket TSX-R clear lense. You can see "swirling" effect on the lense. This is designed to blur the output. The TSX-Rs will sharpen it all up: Blurry OEM output: Output with the TSX-R clear lense: OEM output close up: TSX-R output close up: Making way for the projector Trial fittment: Quick mock up of the reflector / projector / shroud: Stay tuned for more updates

This was my first GTR35 set which I completed for a local car. I ended up attempting the True Quad setup and I was pretty happy with the way they turned out. I learnt quite a lot from this first set. Ill know what to do and what not to do for future sets. Enjoy the pix.... HL specs: * JDM GTR35 headlights * Quad Mini H1 5.0's * White painted cutoff shields * TRS side emitting LED strips for the new "Parker" setup * Mini Gatling Gun shroud (Low beam housing) + regular Gatling Gun shroud (High beam housing) * Full Satin Black finish using: VHT Prime coat SP305 "Satin Black" CLear lense pulled off OEM low beam projector vs Mini H1 5.0. Both lense holders are lined up. Very similar sized projectors 2.5" Mini H1 lense vs Slightly smaller OEM lense (forgot to get a measurement) Mini H1 fits like a glove in the OEM low beam reflector bowl Even the OEM headlight bezel fits around the Mini H1 without any modification. Looks just like factory Happy days!!! Anyone that wants to do a projector upgrade on a GTR35 HL will have the least hassle free experience with a Mini H1. * minor dremelling of the housing underneath the projector * JB Weld / Stik Mini H1 to the OEM reflector bowl * Fit OEM bezel (without modifiaction) Done deal!! Bottom section of the OEM projector still needs dremelling This is the dremelling I was talking about to fit the Mini H1. This helped with rotational alignment. Close up Both projectors fixed in place using JB Stik. You can see the M4 nuts & bolts thats helping to extend the Mini H1 in the High beam housing Side emitting LEDs installed and showing off the new "Parkers" Heres a mock up of how I want the Gatling Gun shrouds to look The first initial cut on the Mini GG. I was still afraid to hack into the OEM low beam bezel incase I couldnt pull off the look. Once you cut into it theres no turning back... Sliding the Mini GG inplace... Still requires a lot more cutting.. Finally bit the bullet!!! Had no choice as the Mini GG shroud was not going to "slip" in any further without cutting the OEM bezel More cutting leading to a better fit Getting closer and closer The final look of the OEM low beam bezel. No more cutting Mini GG trimmed to a final depth of 45mm for the best fit Test fit The first initial cut of the OEM high beam bezel
