he tried to use some aftermarket angel eyes and it didn't look right. I'm not sure about oem though.

 

not sure about that. I think it depends if the directional output of the bulb is similar.

as far as high/low you would need something like a X5 projector which I have in the truck. it'll move the lense to get high low.

 

how hot did you heat the headlights to take them apart? and for how long?

 

so it sounds like the high beams will have to be tapped onto the shutter on the retro fit. If that's the case, we'll have to use single beam HID bulbs.

 

damn robert that looks sick!! i can't wait to see the hid retrofit tomm. Looks real clean tho.

 

omg robert i'm coming over and taking a look at this. and maybe ur buddy can hook me up too

 

clean most def feelin that move. thumbs up

 

come by anytime.

i roadtested them last night and OMG, so nice. i'm going to readjust them a little higher but it just brightens up the road.

 

looking good man I'm loving it

 

no, your not the first, actually i was, lol, if you search for my thread you'll see, though i never got farther then you have with finishing it completely, i did atleast get the projectors mounted into the housing, aligned on the wall for cutoff, just never put the clear lens back on, so it sat in my clsoet for many months, then to top that off i traded my Fit off about 2 weeks ago for a truck that i need more then a small car.

there the link to my thread.

 

thanks for pointing it out. i can't change my title but i will say "First in USA to have COMPLETELY INSTALLED retrofit HID" lol

 

Either way congrats, does look real good.

 

Well, I may be #3 with the retrofit. The parts are on its way. I couldnt resist after seeing Rcantu's retrofit.

 

Damn.... that looks good, I just put that on my "to do" list. It will have to wait though, I am on the motto " If it doesn't make you go fast, it can wait till last."

 

I forgot to ask...do you have any pictures of the actual retrofit progress?

 

the HIDs... they dont auto level do they? angel eyes on the fit... i think the headlight ring is too big on the fit and putting halos around them would be kinda weird, just my 2 cents.

 

I may the 4th, or maybe the 3rd. I have everything but my shrouds that I'm in the process of getting.

 

I'll let you go first man hahaha write a HOWTO while you are at it and then I'll be the 4th.

Dang man, something came up and my HID retrofit is going to have to wait for a while. Good luck JamesBizzle!

 

Did you take any pictures during the conversion? You said it took 8 hours. This is for both, start to finish? Just wondering because I was thinking that I would have to buy another set of stock lights to convert because it would take so long. It looks like you can remove the light assembly without removing the bumper. True? I know for wiring purposes bumper removal is recommended. I just have to be able to remove an convert one assembly in a day to keep the wife at bay. PW'd yes, but it's great P.

HID projectors and car look great.

A note to the HID kit folk. They only look great when you don't have an alternative which is pretty much the way it is now. Once vendors step in or the knowledge of how to do it becomes trivialized proper projector HID will rule. HID kits will fade in popularity except for those who don't drive at night and think a fart can and K&N filter will add 20 hp and 10 mpg to their auto tranny cars.

One thing:
real HID = HID projectors
real HID light assemblies = HID projectors with motorized aiming
I would expect the Fit to be sensitive to weight. Without aiming (even manual adj) you have to either compromise the performance at light loads to avoid glare with porkers in the back or you have good performance with you and a passenger and blind everybody with a load. If we had load leveling we could compensate also.
