heres my retrofit.

morimoto d2S
using 4300k HID for my headlights
and 3k for my foggies

took me a while to adjust my headlight to the correct height so it can shoot far enough

also adjust my driver side foglights because it was not aiming correctly as shown in one of the pictures but i fixed it as well.

feedback welcomed!!!!!!

im located in torrance,ca if any of you guys need help with your retrofits!

 

Looks great. Are they just low beams or high/lowbeams? Also what parts did you use to retrofit those, like projectors, etc. I like the look and the light output is amazing.

 

yeah its high and low beam.

its pretty simple.
i used the oven to take apart the headlights and painted inside with a black semi gloss paint that can handle high heat and resealed everything with a nissan butyl sealant that works magic.

i used JB weld to hold my shroud to my projector.

PM me if you have any questions.

 

nice job but, it seems you missed a step. you should have also painted your reflector bowl as you are still causing glare with the light that is leaking from the shroud and the projector bowls.

i have remedied this by painting the reflector bowl with a titanium silver spray paint. I am now thing of sealing the projector bowls completely to eliminate any and all light leak.

 

i believe i read that from somewhere.. it just does not look as good ;(..

i did a walk around on the car from many directions and lengths and i do not see much glare coming from my headlights..

 

i think jjin's right. looks like there's glare in your photos, especially the photos showing the beam pattern against the walls.

you still did a better job than i could have done

 

lol thanks, but yeah i think i see what you are talking about but i did take pictures with my iphone 4..

doesnt seem to bother any of my friends when we were driving together.. so i hope its road safe .. ( main reason i did projectors instead of HID alone).. and cut off lines = sexy..

ill check out my lights later to see if i glare.. because i did a walk around from all angles and distances and i dont really see a glare.. maybe some from my foglights though.

 

Looks good!!! A whole bunch of us have Mini D2S, what ballast and bulbs you running? im running 85122+ and love em... The glare from the reflector(I did mine silver) I'm sure is not as bad as the foglights with PNP, they glare with halogens lol...

 

I used trs ballast and bulbs..

I used ddmtuning foglights due to them being only 20 minute from my house haha

 

35 watt because I want more bulbs to last for a while haha

 

Welcome to the Fit Retrofit group. Rep for you. Nice work.

 

virtual hi-five!

 

Hi-five!!!

 

Good Job. Just got my morimoto D2s in today. I plan on doing them on a full day off. How long did it take you?

 

Could take less than 4 hrs but since I used jb weld to hold my shroud onto my projector it took a day and a half since it's cooling time is 24hr and I do recommend waiting the 24 hr so it's really strong..being patient with the retrofit is good.. And if u plan on painting ur black housing than the 24 hr waiting time is good as well..

 

I took 2 full day for my retro. Not because of wiring or mounting, but mainly the shroud and then the headlight lense to dry. Plan out everything and it will all work out.
