dual projector in a cefiero headlight >> need help!
ok Guys Iv started doing some research on the retroing projectors. Im wanting to do a duel projector in each head light. But im not sure what type of projectos that would both fit in and be bright. Im going for hids in both one to be my low beam and both to be my high beam. Im going to wire the low beam to cut on with the ignition. WHat type of medium to high grade projectors would both fit side by side in a cefiero headlight. I might want one with a angel eye too.

i dont know a lot about projectors but this link might help. this is also one of the rare cases where i might suggest r34s. since you are doing a dual set-up on a maxima they seem perfect. better fitment at the least.

Ok guys I looked at the site thanks but im still wondering what type of projectors would be good for a duel in the cefeiro head light. Or what size would they need to be to get two projectors in their?

MaXiMaGiRL did it in Cefiros, she used BMW 7 series projector and a halogen projector.
They both appear to be 3in projectors.

Well..... The possibilities are really endless to start with. let's start w/the light housing. the cefiero's are nice but aiming would be hard as hell. the r34's are nice but they have very little room in the high beam spot, but it's doable.
If you wanted dual HID projectors... then you need to have the high beam projector running at all times... That means you need either a bixenon projector or you should turn the high beam into low beam into high. Again the possibilites are really endless. You should spend some time over at HIDplanet.com/forums. READ the university section and then look at the pictures and videos section.
For dual HID i would go dual fx35's, or dual LR3's, or dual g37's, or dual TL's but they shouldn't really be able to fit. All of those have solenoids which will move the beams. So you get both low beams... and both high beams....
I wouldn't get a single xenon for the high beams.... and keep it wired as a high beam.
Why???? Because ALL HID's have a warm up time. Halogen really don't.
In order to get the lights to come on w/the car... you need to use a relay... and get the signal from the ign wire.
In order to get both projectors lit up and "acting similar" you need to use a diode in the factory wiring. The diode needs to bridge the signal before you hit the relays.
So you basically coulda skipped all my essay and looked here.

You are only using a single projector. The thread was refrencing to "dual projector" setups in cefiros.

I still recommend putting bixenon projectors in cefiros and not duals, it is fairly hard, you would have to use a small projector for the hi beam. There is also not much room inbetween the reflector and the light housing and it makes putting mounting screws in that area difficult, plus you will not have much adjustment room with the stock aimers if you do. Btw NCSU's car looks hot with the singles like that.

as a the previous retrofitter of dual bixenon/dual angel-eye setup (i believe i am the only person to do this), i say that the warmup time for high beam is not an issue at all. my setup included two fx35 bixenon projectors in each one piece headlight. the inner projector in each headlight was for low beam and high beam, the outer was for high beam only. when i hit the high beams, the outer projectors would turn on automatically on high beam (for a grand total of four high beams at one time). the setup turned out quite nice, however the fitment of the projectors was tough (especially with the protruding angel eyes glued to the shrouds). i would recommed a dual bixenon setup of porsche caymen projectors which have a smaller height than the fx35's. these would do nicely in the cefiros, however, i would not use angel eyes as they require a larger recess of the projector into the housing, resulting in a larger diameter hole in the rear of the projector (which requires more sealing later on). if you need retrofiting help, the man to talk to is Matt@theretrofitsource.com. He really knos his stuff. He has done close to a hundred if not more retrofits in any vehicle imaginable and he can put you in the right direction. He will custom make the wire harnesses you need along with providing you with the correct shrouds to use with the porsche projectors. If you have any more questions feel free to shoot me a pm. Good luck man.
Here's a few pics of my retro:

well most cars use the outer for low beam so i decided to be a lil different and switch it up. and yes kzoosho those are r34's. they have a substantially larger amount of room than the cefiros when you remove their inner trim pieces (the pieces that create the two headlight sections). i provided my pics so that i could help explain why he should use the smaller porsche projectors rather than the fx35's. my point was that the r34s are much larger and required a lot of modding to make the projectors work, so there is no questions that when using the cefiros in a retrofit, that you must use the smaller ones .
