hdorre Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Even Im curious about how you would do this. Lol Where would you buy the parts?Haha.. no problem Take the stock headlights apart (I just used my oven w/ a cooking sheet.. and tools to pry the lens from the plastic.) Paint the reflector/housing black (I used high temp black rattle can paint from Home Depot, but you can get it from Lowes, Advance Auto, Autozone, etc. Make sure that it adheres to plastic.) Install a bixenon projector (The Retrofit Source) Get a silver shroud (The Retrofit Source) Put back together (I used black DAP stuff from Home Depot thats made for plastic.) Install a pair of HIDs within the range of 5000-6000k (XenonDepot/The Retrofit Source) On 5/8/2011 at 7:38 PM, Kranny said: On 5/8/2011 at 7:35 PM, 'Maxim' said: It hurts me inside when I read stuff like this and remember you're 15 LMFAO so true Mitsubishi 3000GT (Old Build) Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: (2) McLaren Audio MLT-2 Tweeters & (4) PRV Audio MR Series Neo 6.5" Mids Substage: 4 15" Hybrid Subs - Tantric Motors & Sundown Softies Amps: Banda 2.4D Amp (Tweets), American Bass VFL 350.4 (Mids), and (2) Ampere 3800s Electrical :Singer 260A Alt & JY Power Lithium 2005 Chevy Colorado Ext Cab Headunit: Pioneer 80PRS Frontstage: 4 PRV 700Ti Tweets & 6 10" Delta Mids on 3000wrms Substage: 6 Fi BTL 18s in a 4th Order Walkthrough on 3 Wolfram 4500s Electrical: Singer "390" and JY Power My Official Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdorre Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 is it terribly difficult to get the projector to fit??It depends.. If you use a Mini H1, no. However, using something like a FX-R or TL projector will take a bit more work.

Nubcakeninja Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 is there any benefit for which one i pick? will the mini h1 be "just as cool looking"? lol and this one projector is used for both high beams and low beams correct? 1995 Blazer lt 4dr 2 t1d412s 1 t2500.1bd 4 polk audio door speakers 2 dash speakers(coming soon) 1 amp to run my mids and highs(coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes there is a difference between projectors. Some have better distance than others, while others cover more range horizontally. What do you mean by "cool factor?" What do you want to look cool? A bixenon is good for low and high beams.

Nubcakeninja Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 i think its like what u said to paint the housing and reflectors black will make it look a lot better. i just plan on changing the front to HID's and get some LED ones for the back to have it look a little more stylish. i changed the bulbs in the lights already so they have a more bright white look but i want it even brighter and to look more modern. which i think what u described is what im looking to do haha 1995 Blazer lt 4dr 2 t1d412s 1 t2500.1bd 4 polk audio door speakers 2 dash speakers(coming soon) 1 amp to run my mids and highs(coming soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
