My Quad Projector build Thread
Well I am one lamp down on my Quad setup, Low Beams are going to be RX330ASF clear lens, Fogs Are going to be FX with clear lens.
Heres my info from a thread I piggy backed decided I needed a thread of my own.
And its time to getterdone!!!
I went with the ebay JDM blacks.
These:
They seemed like the best (JDM) LOL black housings on ebay. And the best discription.
Projectors are going to be FX projectors had them for years way back when they had the FX recall and the market was flooded with them mated with Purple coated clear lens from JDM ( Love how that word is thrown in the title) Junk mustang projectors scored from my sis' n laws failed attempt at clearing her lamps hacked and melted lamps.
Shrouds are going to be theretrofitsource Gatling Gun shrouds.
Bulbs & Ballast are gonna be Toyota/Lexus D4S 4100K reason I am going with these vice 5K 6K I rather my lens and projector give me my color and cut off instead of the bulbs my personal preference.
The FX and Gattling gun Shrouds will be on the bottom, The RX and IS250 Shrouds will be up top, I will post some pix tonight all the trimming and measuring is done on one lamp just need to aim and mount. After that comes the clean up and install.... Which me luck.
On to the pix:
updates. Looks like its the last stretch sad part is I am already thinking of the replacements. A little surprise's not added yet
Now that all the trimming is done, I need to aim and drill mounting holes and start on housing number 2. Final aiming will be done on the car seal up leak test and roll
out!!!!!
Went back to the RX330 ASF, just fit better up top. And didnt see the point going quad Bixenon. Here is a quick oncoming flicker vid, will post cut offs later.

Very nice, I applaud you for not only doing a retrofit, but also posting your progress as you go along!
I'm doing a retrofit myself, Q45 Gattling Guns into a ZZW30 MR2 Spyder. I really wish they were bi-xenon, but you take what you can get.
Thinking about doing quad projectors on the G35 as well, but I haven't taken the lights apart to see what will fit and what won't. My ideal setup would be TL Bi-xenons in the top with a fog projector in the bottom. Not sure which projector will work well as a fog light, though.

Thanks man, The TL's are kinda big for the top and the bottoms are kinda big for fog projectors...
Thanks take some pix and show your progress...
Thanks cant wait to be done, I was going to do my stockers and sell them I dunno about it now. Lots of work.
Thanks man, After seeing your car and others I had to start modding the G, even though I promised myself I wouldnt after selling my Legacy GT
Not worried at all about them, these lights are dot approved and should be fine to the engine heat so shouldn't be a issue with the projectors.

If your handy with a drizzle and pretty good with tools I think anyone can do it the task wasn't as hard as I thought it would be no where easy but not impossible if I were to do it again I know what and what not to do the 2nd time around. The lower area is defiantly easier then the top I will tell you that. Good luck if you decide to tackle it.
