^Oh yeah! I forgot about Vivek's with the crazy Q projectors.

I was brainstorming various ideas for my retrofit... I just need to hurry up and get it from my head into the real world

Yes you do. Just one set of projectors makes a difference. And 2 pairs is crazy. Im still on the hunt to make mine hold 3 pairs. lol

^Trust me, I know! I did a projector retrofit on one of my previous cars and swapped to HIDs at the same time... a near-literal "night and day" difference

Same thing will actually apply to this car, as I have one of the ones without HID.

BTW, a 3rd pair shouldn't be too hard. Really small projector fogs where the indicator is.

Their light output might be somewhat obstructed because of the way they're stuffed in a corner, but still... how much more light do you need at that point?!?

Mitsubishi GT3000s had some really really tiny fog light projectors, I think those would fit.
Obviously, you would have to come up with something to replace the indicator light though.

No such thing as too much light. lol actually im prob done with mine except some more paint and a lens swap. I will prob mold another set of projectors in my bumper wit some 3k fogs. I actually have 2 people patiently waiting for me to finish this widebody so they can send me their light, so be on the looks out for a fresh set of eyes

^ Yeah, I was gonna say you've also done your own retrofit. Love that red outlining of yours.


A few other sedan guys have done their own - VstyLe09 and mr_luv come to mind.

Retrofit is the number one mod I recommend.

I can't imagine going back to my old lights.

thanks man, cant wait to sell the lude so i can get some more money to fund the G...lookin into my quality parts already...

couple of questions: a pop charger in essence is just a filter right? just going by a strange name?

and also, when doing retro's how come i see a lot of people retrofitting the highbeam/fog portion of headlight as opposed to low beam? are people changing the wiring on the lights when doing this?

The lower location is a lot easier to retrofit as there is tons of room and if u get the right projector shroud it will fill the hole up nicely and no cutting of oem shroud. The upper location is a tight fit for any projector and will require the cutting of oem shroud
