CandlestickPark's Projector Retrofit
Why are the projectors located on the bottom of the headlight vs the top that's already used for use? Only reason I can think of is the room to mount these projectors that might of been an issue. Also what type of projectors are these? I have some very nice FX-Rs w/ clear lens swap already sitting in my closet. Your car looks even better with this useful mod!
Alan is correct, they are 2nd gen Sedan projectors with an STi-R clear lens swap.
Yea that's what I thought, but also thought it was preference. Still looks good none the less. I ask this because sometime this year before winter I'll do mine. I got everything but new headlights and bolts and crap.

Just saw your post. Looks great, and glad to see that the clear lens swap was doable.
Those really make your sedan stand out.
You can always go with 50W ballasts with 50W bulbs if you ever want more light output without trying to put in another pair of projectors.

^Thanks for all your help with this project Albert. Great suggestion on the 50W ballasts and bulbs. Would the 50W ballasts mount easily in the OEM location?
RRYDE opened up my headlights and fixed the leds yesterday, thanks Randy!
One of the wires had come loose and was touching the metal part of the projector causing my fuse to blow whenever I tried to turn them on.
Everything works now.
Randy re-aimed them as well, they were sitting pretty low. I'm going to get some new pics up (and maybe a vid) tomorrow.

For mine though the shrouds were not made for my lights so its easier to adjust them with the lights off the car. When you try using the adjusters while they are on the car it doesn't give you the full range of adjustment because the fitment is so tight.
