ok so recently ive been trying to do this project for about a week now and im not sure if i should finish or sell it.

its a fog light retrofit with 2002 audi a6 projectors i got at a junk yard for 5 dollars for the pair.

i had 2 sets of fogs and broke out the glass to put acrylic molds in. but everytime i cut the molds they break because i dont have the right tools and im having a hard time trying to aim them right

what do you guys think?

 

looks good... i say finish it u already started it might as well complete it. just get the right tools and take your time and do it right the first time.

 

I'm in for the finished result!! Not to many doin retros in fogs so you'll be different then everyother guy with hid fogs, I want retros in my fogs too

 

i want fogs.....

 

your more then halfway done, Id buy these off of you but I wouldnt have time to finish them. Plus youll feel better knowing you have different fogs then every other 96

 

after much debating ive decided to finish them, ill post some light output shots asap its better than my headlight output lol. my next task is to cut out the acrylic molds

 

 

your mounting method sucks. read the "JNC mounting method" thread in hidplanet forums and you'll see how to mount them so you can aim them to perfection.

this is how i mounted my R34's

 

you sir are a freaking genius! and a big help to thank you so much ive been trying to figure this out this past few weeks and you just threw me in the right direction im definetly doing this

 

make sure you read this thread to fully understand the concept. everything else is just a walk in the park

I too say finish them. Would love to see how they look shining.

 

i appologize for taking so long but... finally! after a month of trying to aim these bad boys i finally did it!!
big huge thanks to QT1 5MT AE for the link helped so much. all i have left to do is seal up holes i made, then i have to re create molds of the glass with better acrylic. here is some more pics of progress enjoy and let me know what you think

 

Cutoff is gorgeous!! Is that 4300k?

 

killer fogs !!! make sure you seal up those drilled holes with glue

 

thanks! and i wish it was any type of HID lol its just a regular h3 stock bulb for me

 

what kind of glue? im guessing it needs to be high temperature glue right? i hope so lol im still noob at this

 

I have a spare set of 6000k bulbs if youre interested. Can let it go for $15 plus ship. All youll need are ballasts.

 

Wow, looks good. Are your headlights projector as well?

 

thats a good deal and very tempting but im affraid ill have to pass i have to save up to buy a dremel to cut out the acrylic.

thanks! and not yet, soon though im in the proccess of retroing my stock headlights so i can have a set in there while i retro my r34s, but i need my local junk yard to get an infiniti j30 so i can get the right side projectors out of it

 

looks good. hoping to learn how to make a set myself

 

LMK if you change your mind. Great work BTW!

 

that cutoff looking deadly. #goodjob

 

I cant wait to see HIDs in em!!!!

 

i did my like these then i dropped mine and they broke to i chucked them out , but they lookin good

 

 

these look really great glad you kept them and finished them

 

5000-6000k would do em justice

 

Im in the proccess of looking for a good sealant searching everywhere before i seal them im thinking about painting them black to match my headlights and so it wont look so ugly with bolts sticking out. Or possibly make a custom shroud for them what you guys think? opinions please


thanks and its moderately hard to do just takes time alot of time and patience.

thank you sir! more to come asap

thanks i am to took a while but its getting finished

it would do em justice cant wait to get a job and more money lol.

 

Use Quiksteel to seal up any holes. It's a putty epoxy and withstands heat up to five hundred degrees.

Now I'd definitely mask off those lenses and paint everything black but that's just me. If these were baked open, don't forget to put more butyl sealant in, then throw those lenses on and bake them back together.

Nice work!

 

Wish I had the patience and know-how to do retros, but I don't. Maybe when I get back in the house and garage I can find my passion again for custom parts.

 

Your almost done,just finish them.

 

hello fellow orgers! its been along time maybe to long, well update time so ive been running the fogs unfinished and there still unfinished due to lack of tools. but on the plus side i decided to retro my r34s just for kicks


it took me litteraly 2 days, now before you flame me they ARE NOT DONE at all not even close i plan on quad retroing thats right 4 projectors! lol and buying some angel eyes for them and making a custom shroud. the projectors in them are j30s and they work very well for me very cheap to and i like the cut off.

ive also found some fun stuff to mess with at my local bone yard like rare 97-99 plastic clear headlights need to be clean but in great shape

also some new mini projectors! now i have 4!

the 2 in the middle are new the blue are old
and i was also able to get a new set of 95-96 fogs maybe i will retro them to

Keep up the good work man. You should retro my lights when you are finished with these projects.

 

dude they look great! nice job! how did you wire the fogs to run when your parking lights are on?

ha ha funny story i actually didnt do that yet i actually just disconnected the headlights its a pain in the backside!

update now my driverside headlight doesnt want to seal up right its so hot its melting the sealent thats how i actually pulled the lense off no baking or anything im trying to pull apart my 97s by heating them in the trunk lol
