this winter break, I will be attempting to install projectors in my headlights... i have a spare set of headlights that i wi,ll use as my guinea pig... the projectors I have are the audi ones... from the looks of it, seems like it'll be difficult to install.. anyone have any links to pages of where people installed the projectors in? i would assume the install is easier on a 2k2+, but these are going in a 2k, but i think itll look better in a 2k...

 

why not just buy some 2k2 housings off of ebay?

 

i used these web site as a referance when i did my retrofit.
http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com
http://www.hidforum.com/

good luck with your install

 

igor: i think the 2k2 dont look as good as the 2k.. I mean, I like the the 2k's, you can paint the inside like the ae style. i know you can paint the 2k2's , but it doesnt look the same... but if I got the 2k2's, I would still want to retrofit, I love the way the projectors look and that blue/purple look at far distances/angle....

I already have hid's, just want to install some projectors and be a little different...

geo: thanks... any pictures???

 

No I meant install projectors in the 2k2 housing and that way u can still have highbeams

 

Yeah, I'm sure he won't have any trouble finding some 2k2 housings, especially from sellers around NY/NJ...

 

i know... i still think the 2k's will look better with the retro'd projector... also, my headlights have been custom painted, w/ eyelids.. so its too much troublen to redo everything...

 

click on my sig and i have a bunch of pictures there on page 6 & 8.

 

yeah teddie im orderring some of those eyelids, how much do u think they will charge me to get them painted ?

 

PearlWhtMaX2000: i dont really know... my shop did it for me as a favor so i wouldnt be able to give you a quote.... they'l look good though...

 

Yeah they do, i really like them. do they block any of the light at night?

 

I dont notice any decrease in my lgihts, but i do have hids... But its nice at night... when the lights are on, it looks more aggressive due to the eyelids...

 

ok good i cant wait to test em out,im ganna get them put on w/ my kamikaze body kit after the winter.

 

when anyone is completely done, post pics.

 

Teddibear:

I'm doing this same project over this winter. I ordered valeo ECE projectors from HIDtech.com... They don't list them but they can send them for you. I'm going to be getting (hopefully) my 2002 headlights this week and I will start a retro. I was thinking of doing it into my 2000 lights but I still want to keep highbeams. http://hidforum.com and http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/ are the best places to get info like geo said. I love the cutoff of projectors and I can't wait to get these into my lights. Here's a pic of the cutoff that my valeo's have. (shame that they are sitting in a box right next to me right now).



Any questions you've got I'll be happy to talk to ya about the process.
