After 5 weekends of work, I finally am able to show off my completed projector retro project. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Looks very nice! I would paint the corner lights to match the housings, looks out of place otherwise.

 

Thanks, the corner lights will be be given the AE treatment in the future. I'm too tired to do anything more this weekend.

 

You need to smoke out corners and signals. Other that that, GREAT JOB!!!

 

I know that frustration. If you've taken apart the front end as much as I have, I bet you can take it all apart (grill, headlights, corner lights) within 5 minutes now.

Any more beam pattern pics? High beam?

 

Sorry, that is the only beam pattern pic for now. I forgot to take a high beam pic but it's about to be dark soon so I'll snap a pic of the high beam for you.

 

What HID fogs you got?

 

Here are the additional cutoff pics. Also, the upper foreground shield has been removed from the projectors.

kevlo911: They are Xtec 6000k H3 HID fogs soon to be retroed into something different. (next project)

 

 

beautiful!

 

that looks sweet, good job on the great work.

 

Wow that just looks amazing you do great work any pics of you actually doing it ? with the projectors out and head lights and stuff?? just wondering if not o well thanks for the pics btw

 

Here are some installation pics.

Relay harness w/ installed diaode for hi/low beam.


Lights and grill removed and ready for installation.

Test fitment of headlights in order to align projectors before being sealed.

 

im not fond of the black housing looks out of place IMO... Also the cutoff seem rather blurry, or not focused very well. Is this the way RS6 projectors are?

 

It reminds me of the Terminator...Nice work.

I would love to see a set of those in a 5th gen.

 

RS6...aren't they running valeos?

did you happen to bend the shield at all? the cut off seems fuzzy..but there's a lot of color there.

also not to be a PITA...but the pass side one can use a slight adjustment counterclockwise so it's even with the driver side (cam angle?)...otherwise it looks ok.

 

RS6 was termed from the HID community to dub a Audi A6 bi-xenon projector made by Hella. The shield is indeed bent for color and the trade off is a slight drop in sharpness. The projector cutoffs are even in person so perhaps its just the angle of my pic. Thanks for your feedback.

 

looks amazing. itd be awesome to see a 4th gen with dual projectors kinda like the j30s that would be really sweet lookin

 

ahhh ok...the color is definitely there...just weird to see the fuzz on the cut off.

yeah the cam was at a bit of an angle so hard to tell. looks good.

 

man i want a pair soo bad. anybody want to make me a set?

 

I concur.....

 

A lot of bi-xenon projectors dont have the sharpest cut-offs. The sharper ones you come across (S2000, Valeo) are only single-xenon. Rather have high beams than an extremly sharp cutoff. Cant really even tell that much in person, its still sharp.

 

awesome job guy!!

 

any reason for that? a bi-xenon should still have the shield there similar to the single beam projector. only difference is that it moves w/ a little motor for the high beam...but in low beam setting it should still have a decent line for a cut off.

also meanbean mentioned that he bent his shield a little to get the extra color. that makes the beam pattern a little blurry.

 

Its just a trait of most the bi-xenon projectors. Only one that has a nice sharp cuttoff and is bi-xenon is the TL projectors, but they are expensive and can be hard to find.

Yes bending the shield will make it worse, but they arent very sharp to begin with. Mine are similar but not as blurry. I havent bent the shields much at all, mainly because they already have a decent amount of color to start with.

 

nooooiiiicceeeee ;]

 

If you want razor sharp cutoff with incredible color then go for the LS430 or Evo8 projectors. Those projectors are the bomb (better than S2000) except the price is just too high. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and compliments.

 

pimp very nice man... the retro i'm doing with the tsx projectors has a pimp cut off

 

Remember that the lens and bowl design are the most contributing factor to the beam pattern/cutoff. Some people have already tried swapping out the lens and produced incredible results.

 

giggedy giggedy . . . all riiight. . .

 

i agree with 1fstmax

 

I agree.

the Black out doesnt seem to look as beasty as if it was just AE modded. Maybe completely blackout clearance light could help the look but I still dont like, but good job on the projectors and getting them to fit and work properly.

 

looks great!

 

You tell me... All black doesnt look "beasty"? Looks fine to me.

 

it actually it looks kinda devilish nowthat I think about it.

I wonder how it would have looked in you painted it body color. I still think just AE modded is the sharpest look.

 

thats one hot bike

 

Here are some more beam pattern/cutoff pics that should convince everyone of the superiority of HID projectors.
