You guys think it would be possible to retrofit e46 projectors into the fogs and possibly the lows??? those of u that have got them ... do you see any obvious issues that may interfere with this project.
Im would rather work with these because i use my G every day so i cant go without headlights and these are pretty cheap and should make a good practice project.

arabone...

the E 46 would work on the fogs but for the top, i think its too long and you would need to extend the housing.

LittoDevil is in the process of finishing mine up. Ill post up when its done. Quad projectors. HIs custom TSX bixenon for the low beam and "SURPRISE projector for the fog". Then Black painted housing. Wiring harness and he made the signal area orange LED. should be sick. I should have it soon per say..

Headlight swap out

I've been wanting to something about my headlights as long as I've own the car. The chrome design never made any sense to me because it throws light many places i don't want it.

I've been looking at the black headlights on eBay for some time, but the sellers all look fishy to me and when I inquire, they are vague in their response.

Which one did you buy them from? Did you run into any fitment issues? How are the headlight assemblies removed? How long did the swap out take you?

I changed my fogs to xenon a couple years ago and I'm wondering about heat issues, although I always thought, perhaps wrongly, that xenons put out less heat than halogens.

Color matching=Honda Fit......

Why not just get overlays, so much cheaper and you save the hassle of having to reseal the OEM lights. 500+ a headlight is a very costly venture, just to spray the housing.

hey..i did not swap out to xenons yet..i'm still debating as of rite now..but jus a warning, that the rear of the ebay lights is not the same as your oem xenons..

but u can send ur headlights too sundevilj to get him to black out and clear your turn signals..but that means you won't have headlights for about 5 days or so..I use my car everyday so it was impossible for me to send him the lights..
