This is for the curious on the whole mdx retro into the ebay projectors. This is a temp thing before i go into the nissan ballast and osram bulbs. I might even upgrade to stanely projectors (s2000, TL, and TSX)
just got some snapshots real quick, don't know how to use a camera at night so i did my best...




and a distance shot with my yellow fogs and re-finsihed l.e.d.s.



For some reason, the pictures distort the light output. The intensity is suppose to be a lot whiter and even brighter especially for the distance shot of the yellow fogs. i dont know if its the AE balance or whatever... just borrowing my friends sony cybershot. If anyone can help, please.

Also, the cutoff has a lot more blue in it, about 2 inches thick if you look at it in person. My friend was in front of me and the flicker made him believe I had hids... and my yellow fogs are as bright as an is300.

edit:
I have a shot of the color output (when it flickers) but the foreground makes it look like crap output (which it isn't). Anyways, the color is white with flickers of blue. I am using an H9 ebay bulb which has poor quality but I think if I go with a stock halogen h9, I will lose color but the output would be greater.

 

damn that looks pretty good..how much did the mdx halogens run you? im planning on doing this in the near future

 

$40 picked up.... the light out is a lot better than the h3's... but i dont remember how the H4's were so i cant compare those ones.

 

Looks great, the projector retro is tempting me into buying those ebay lights.

 

I get TSX projectors every week or 2 and put them on Ebay to sell. The next set I have coming up for sale is going to be with the igniter, ballast, and bulbs to convert into HID. TSX projectors are HID projectors, they usually go for around 200-250 dollars for a set without the igniter, ballast and bulb.

Did you use some kinda LED bulb in the parking light ? I was gonna order up some PIAA 168 bulbs that are supposed to be 4700K LEDs, just wasn't sure how its going to look so I stuck to Raybirg.

 

wont putting mdx hid bulbs in projector headlights burn out your wiring?

 

MDXs do not come with HIDs, hes got normal filament bulb like a H4 inside the projector, as long as the wattage is similar to OEM stock wattage bulb, there should be no issue with it.

 

look sweet. i would like to see how they would look with the angel eyes running on the highbeam side..

 

I really hate the cybershot now...

 

i put some 194 leds... they are okay. They look more like light purple even though it says its white. The color is very close to the 26,000mcd leds i bought.

 

i wanna get angel eyes for a 2000 maxima really badly. is that possible??

 

wasnt this answered in the other thread that you jacked

 

yes it was.....

If you get some Acura TL projectors + ballast + igniters + bulbs let me know, I am saving up to get those to retrofit my 99.

 

hotness~~~

 

so u just replaced the leds from the ebay projectors with better LEDs? is that what you're saying? Dats not bad I heard alot of bad stuff about ebay projs.

 

yes.

I also found out something very cool. I have stanely projectors! What this means to me is that they are made from the same company who makes the s2000, tsx, and TL projectors. Also, the lenses and a very similar reflector housing (different becuase it can hold a d2s bulb) is found in the new rx330. I think I will stick to these since I am getting more color than my friends TSX with HIDS in his e36 m3.

 

nice work on the retro ChromeSE5, looks good planning on putting HIDs any time?
i originaly used MDX projectors b/c they are so cheap, but more and more people on the hidplanet forums are playing w/ these and it looks they are a pretty decent projector for HIDs, check out this thread comparin output from different projectors, the stanly projector in those photos is a MDX w/ d2S bulbs. Igot a set of e46 single xenon projectors i was gona put in, but i am not sure if its worth it

if the e46 single xenons are the same as the bi-xenons, then I wouldn't since i wasn't really impressed by the flicker and color. I have to admit though, the beam pattern was really wide and it could see a lot. It seems they had more output than the TSX's we put in afterwards.
