Hid Install

[skybarge]

For the R33 use the BMW Bi-xenon lenses, if you do a search on ebay for Bi-xenon projectors, you'll see what i mean

You might need two though because i think R33s don't come with projectors standard?

I'm using two Nissan Murano Bi-xenons on my 32 at the moment, still making up adapters and waiting for the first set to arrive

But it'll be 4-low beam lights on, all circular to match the tail lights then 4-high beam

The bi-xenons basically use one bulb for both high/low and have motors to adjust the lense and an autolevelling motor to adjust the height

Check out www.hidplanet.com/forums that's where Ronin_09 from the other post got most of his ideas for his retrofit and damn it looks good.

Nice thread. I might consider retro fitting hmm.

Just curious as to how you will fit 4 projectors in the headlight assy. I have been thinking about 4 but today i got the idea for bi-xenon projectors and making the current high beam a big set of fog lights connected to my fog light button! yet 4 projectors would be nuts.

[skybarge]

it shouldn't be too hard to fit 4

I've test fitted a set of halogen in there, off a J30 infinity(which people say make good HID retros because they have a clean cutoff)

but I've decided that a proper bi-xenon would be nicer, I'm mocking it up on a broken headlight at the moment, I'll post pics in a few weeks when I've got the alignment perfect

Pity the R32s have the glass covers with pits in them, but I'll be hopefully making perspex covers for them, so there shouldn't be any hot spots or glare, just a solid clear lense

Having four projectors, would you have one projector replacing the standard low beam system and put another in the high beam area? There's no other place to put it is there?

[skybarge]

yeah I'm having one replacing the lowbeam/parklight, one replacing the highbeam

And angel eyes for park lights to replace the current ones, I'll post a pic up as soon as I've mocked it up

but the final edition will be under wraps till November-January, depending on when I finish the car, then I'll post all the pictures of my car up, from strip down to doing up, I just don't know what it'll look like or what colour yet, but it should look wicked

Do you have the projector headlights or the square looking one's? Wouldn't it look a bit funny if there was one set of projectors in a round opening and one set in a square reflector? This is what I was thinking of doing when I had the spare cash. I would keep the glass cover and see if I could have the lines inside it removed by a glass blower or something. Don't like the idea of having the perspex going faded and yellow like R33's.

Now I'm looking at bi-xenon in the projector and making the current high beams fog lights.

[adam-__-]

If I were to go retrofitting, I would just bi-xenon projectors to replace the standard projectors. I wouldn't put a projector in the high beam area because of the square shape you were talking about. Oh I guess if you were to modify the whole headlight so that you can't even notice that it was square originally then maybe.

I've got bugeye projector style

but i'm going for a custom perspex cover with custom shrouds, so they'll look very close to stock

Here are some teasers:

I've just used the stock cover for now, but will be creating a custom shroud for the new lights and getting it chrome plated

These are from a broken headlight(i accidentally melted it in the oven, whoops)

The lenses/projectors in this are J30 and are only there to mock up for the moment, because my lights are still coming and I can't afford the second pair just yet, so I'll be putting one pair into one side first off

Stock headlight shroud(with extra projector shroud:

My test subject:

Test subject next to normal lense(I'll be making a mould of that lense then vacuum forming it in perspex, so it'll be clear with no lines through it

Oh and here is a video about glare one the right is standard halogen projector on the left hand side of the car is a HID fit into normal halogen projector

Totally blinding I reckon we should create a sticky warning peopel about HID kits and stopping people from selling them to unsuspecting buyers

[skybarge]

Whoops didn't actually realise how rough that looked

haha

oh well i only just held it in with my hands to take the photos

I got the idea today to get an old set and cut the projector and parkers out of it, flip that upside down and mould it into the middle of the headlight assy to replace the highbeam section. It would look like parker, projector, projector, parker. The parkers closest to the grill could then be connected to the fog light switch with some fogs installed. Just as long as it cuts through the fog, then all good. It's not like people drive around with them on ALL the time like commonwhore drivers!

[arep3]

Is this 1 set?? I didnt know that you could get twin projectors like this.

do these only need 1 ballast per headlight?

That's a pretty good idea you have there.

It could just be two separate projectors mounted onto a custom bracket, but they look pretty professionally done.

I would assume you would still need a ballast per bulb, correct me if I'm wrong. I've just never seen one ballast powering two globes before.

Far out.. so much effort

think i might just stick to my stock lights.. hahah

[adam-__-]

From the pictures I've seen on hidplanet.com, the work you put into making these headlights are worth it. The cut off lines are so sharp on some of the retrofits they do.

yeah one set

My new lights have arrived too to replace those, you need 2 ballast per headlight, because I'm having two high and two low beams per side

It'll look damn good though and Adam is right, the cut off is seriously so nice and sharp, totally worth it for the bling factor, plus with some custom lenses it'll look damn nice

it means the front and back will look very similar in terms of lights, both twins
