Xenon Retroed headlights 02 WRX
�

Finally put it in my car yesterday and got some pics out today...
No wall shots because I had to drive 15 minutes outa my way yesterday to find a decent aiming spot and I forgot my camera ... theyre aimed upwards a bit but my car is dropped too so it evens out I guess, lol...
Personally I'm really happy with the way it turned out

they look great. Where did you get the kit? also, how can make ensure that it won't blind off other oncoming cars?
| Mulder | 08-07-2005 08:50 PM |
That's not a kit. They're OEM HID projector units from an E46 BMW, so as long as they are aimed properly they will work as well as they did in that vehicle.

i want to say that looks good, but i can't.
i think what you have there is the ultimate function over form!

:o
I think it looks a lot better than the stock headlights... makes it much more agresive looking too IMO...
like Mulder said it's not a kit, I pieced the parts together and put it all in.

Woot just seated my retro onto my housing just need to wire. If you wanna know more on retrofitting go to hidplanet.com
edit: oh yeah forgot to add if you want it not to blind people just make sure you have 0 rotation when you cut up your lights, also when you mount it to bugeye reflectors you can use the stock aiming screws.

| subaru mike | 08-08-2005 03:51 PM |
It looks pretty good�I would match that with the bug eye tint.
| WRXDriftR | 08-08-2005 07:37 PM |

| sweetrex | 08-08-2005 09:23 PM |

if you dont mind me asking, what's a setup like that run?
| CalcVictim | 08-09-2005 11:21 AM |
very nice, how long did the project take?

[QUOTE=WRXDriftR]looks kinda unfinished???[/QUOTE]
How so?
[QUOTE=sweetrex]they dont hit the headlight hole quite right. :huh:[/QUOTE]
Not quite sure what you mean? The shrouds were a tough fit though. I couldnt have the projector dead center because of the way the exit hole in the rear of the housing is, and i didnt wanna cut the back
[QUOTE=stylin525]Black housing, and you are set!! woot[/QUOTE]
I had the black housing headlights before, I wanted this setup to look more OEM, I still have the old set actually
[QUOTE=Blue Rabbit 02]if you dont mind me asking, what's a setup like that run?[/QUOTE]
I had these on my old car, I removed it all prior to selling it... I would guesstimate I spent around $400 + the extra set of headlights I bought off ebay... I got it all cheap though
[QUOTE=CalcVictim]very nice, how long did the project take?[/QUOTE]
About a week, I work and go to college so I didn't have much time...

| azimiut | 08-09-2005 09:18 PM |

Where did you get the projectors for the lights? How hard was is it to get the lights into the stock housings? What all is needed for this mod? I really dont know that much on HID lights. Just that JDMs are expensive and aftermarket kits suck. I might consider doing something like this. Also, this mod does make the correct pattern for the HID correct?? It doesnt shine light everywhere like aftermarket stuff?? Thanks

the beam pattern on mine are the exact same as it would be on the audi I took the projectors from.
[IMG]http://www.modmycar.net/images/DSCF0043.gif[/IMG]
and since I did not want the projectors open, I cut and trimmed the original lens from the headlights, they were only slightly damaged. then I glued them onto the outside of the headlight housing. it is a perfect fit.
