you've done a great job

 

Tools:
Dremel or similar
and all your normal Screwdriver, wrench, etc..

Things you need:

All depends on what you are trying to do.

I went with acrylic sheets 1/8" thickness I believe
I bought various glues ( eg. on specific for acrylic), silicone and other glues (just depends on what you are doing again)

LED's:
i bought single led's (blue) and the halo rings are LED halo's (all the LED's need gluing as well)
Wire
and I had a set of HID headlights so the top position HID system was used and I just bought a set of ballasts for the bottom.

Nuts and bolts:
I bought a bunch of nuts and bolts to mount the projectors.

Projectors:
I bought the Mini Morimoto's for the top position and FX-R's for the bottom

Shrouds:
I bought the Gatlin 2.0 I believe for both bottom and top

Paint:
I had them outer shroud of the headlight painted a satin black and the projector shrouds Ivory Pearl

I did not buy the resealing glue for the lights. I just used what was still on the headlight and resealed them.

I did make my own mounting bracket out of the acrylic.

Hope this helps. If you want more specifics or have specific questions send me a pm.

 

Thanks! It took me a while, but atleast I finished haha. slow and go is how I roll haha. j/k

 

After doing this yourself just a personal question...How do you feel about people charging upwards over or right at 1k for this service?

 

Well the parts alone cost me right around $700 plus the time spent I think it is reasonable.

That being said I did not order in bulk (which would have been much cheaper) so if someone was doing one and is not a business doing it then yes I believe it is a fair price.

I think too when projectors come down in price retrofits will also come down in price. It just too expensive for the projectors for it to be cheaper right now.

I too was thinking it was a piece of cake, and why are people charging so much, but after doing this myself I now see why it is so expensive.

 

got ya, good info...

 

Much appreciated! Im going to try this later in the summer when i have free time, i might pm you here or there for certain questions; i hope you dont mind.

 

Thats a good idea actually. Didnt think of that. Where are you placing the secondary ballast by the way?

 

That looks pretty good. Nice work!

 

No I dont mind. Ill help you out if you have some questions.

 

On either side im placing them right at the top of the Wheel well area.

 

Thank you!

 

Nice work!

 

Thanks!

 

+1 nice work, they came out great. Projectors really update the front end of these cars so much
