im puttin HID's in the civic!

Post by v-tecivic »

EDIT: cut off pics added

i've been working on a hid retrofit this weekend. i am almost done with one headlight. i am using the h4 6000k hid kit i bought a while ago with 2005 tsx projectors. i wasn't feeling the thought of buying a d2s hid bulb since i had the h4 kit. by doing so i was able to keep the stock bulb mount on the reflector, giving the finished product a cleaner look.

here's the pics

stock depo headlight

lense off with the halogen sheild out and hid bulb in
Image

before and after i grinded the d2s bulb mount down
Image
Image

test fitting the projector to make sure it would be level. also a shot of the stock headlight vs. the projector. there was no shroud on as well.

Image

projector mounted
Image

a test fit with the lense back on to check for clearance issues
Image
Image

the parts for the shroud i made with one already completed. .025 aluminum sheet and a ceiling fan adapter.
Image

the shroud and projector painted and ready to be installed.
Image
Image

headlight reassembed back together. as well as another stock vs. retrofit
Image
Image
Image

some really bad pics of the cutoff.

more pics as i progress.
