PM me for your number if you have a retrofit.

Edit - 27 Nov. 2007 This thread now has a new home in the Lighting forum.

Edit - 21 Dec. 2008 I'm making this thread a sticky, and also adding the member list here in the first post.

__________________________________________________ ___________________________________

Yeah so I started this thing last week. Right now we only have 2 members, me and juicyfn. If you want to join send me a PM

Of course you have to have retrofitted OEM HID projector headlights into your stock headlight housings.

Also please post up pics of your retrofit here in this thread before sending me a PM.

My old HID kit:

Compared to the HID projector retrofit:

Low beams:

Bi-xenon + stock halogen high beams:

considering that you made a club for it, im guessing it was ahuge hassle retrofitting this setup?

its something id like to do when i have the more pressing mechanical work out of the way.

PatrickGSR94 · 01-08-2005, 02:13 PM

well I just figured since I've seen these other "clubs" in people's sigs like Airbag Club, etc. I just wanted to make something different.

JforJonathan · 01-08-2005, 02:18 PM

good work on the retrofit

i need to do that with my ek but i dont know what the hell im doing

Triscuit · 01-08-2005, 02:21 PM

So what does the cut-offline look like, You stated that you have the flutted(sp) lenses, but not sure it you meant it was bad,or good, pictures would be good

Cjsls · 01-08-2005, 07:05 PM

Bump....to see more retro's. I know there are plenty of people out there who have done them...Post up ur pics.

MTK Kommander · 01-08-2005, 08:14 PM

when are you getting rid of the lines in your low beam lens patrick?

PatrickGSR94 · 01-08-2005, 10:30 PM

um probably never, 3 little lines aren't going to affect the beam pattern enough to tell. The projector being far back from the lens has more of an effect on the beam pattern than those lines do. I really don't care to expend the effort to remove 3 lines and possibly ruin the lens.

NrG · 01-08-2005, 10:35 PM

Why are you guys still using the hologen lense?
When you install HID projectors, you need a clear lense. Not a housing with those lines. Like the one for the DA. It's just going to through the cutoff out of wack.
Cjsls knows what he's talking about.

the stock lense and clear lense for the integra (lowbeam part) arent much different. the stock lense just has three lines but the rest is clear. now it would make sense if the lense (liek the da) is fluted then it would be smarter to use clear lense. the three lines dont do much on the cutoff or the beam pattern for the dc after an oem hid retrofit.

ucb · 01-09-2005, 12:53 AM

a guy just did a write up in this forum where he put some BMW e46 projectors in his civic housing

plusONE jboy · 01-09-2005, 01:34 AM
