Fitting projector lenses to halogen headlights

[Brennan]

I'm looking to fit projector lenses to my halogen audi a4 headlights

Need someone to open up the headlights, fit the projectors and seal up the headlights again

Is anyone able to do this or have done it before?

Is there not a crowd on bakebook that do this sort of thing and build in drls etc? Sounds like a reciepe for disaster and lights being pointed in wrong directions .

I have had factory xenons in a few cars now, and while I agree they are a better light, I'm not sure I'd spend the couple of hundred needed to fit projectors and a decent after market kit. Cathys golf doesn't have them and its perfectly safe at night.

oem lights and a kufatec loom would be a better choice imo

 

[Brennan]

They would but as they only take factory hid bulbs, not halogen it would be an MOT failure without washers or levellers

Can you get adapters? That could prove useful for me as I plan to make custom xenons for my car (manufacturer never made ones for it)

 

[pablo]

I swear I saw some in the past but google only shows me fitting D2S bulbs into a H7 housing.

Any links of these you could show me?

@Brennan if you can get adaptors like pablo says then that would be the best option and probably work out roughly the same price, as it's a lot of work doing that to lights.

But understand where your coming from

 

[Brennan]

I would need adaptors for a D3S headlight that would allow me to fit a halogen bulb, I'm not sure such a thing exists

 

[pablo]

my worry about fitting the projector yourself is that it will look really untidy.

 

[Brennan]

I've saw this but think that the projector needs to be bigger for it to look right.

It takes a H1 halogen bulb or the equivalent H1 HID bulb

 

[pablo]

think they are wrong way round

[Brennan]

It's not only that, would the headlight connector that connects to the hid bulb, fit the pins on a halogen bulb?

 

[pablo]

fair point indeed. some rewiring would be required

So you can see my point of wanting to fit these.

Oem xenons aren't just as straight forward

 

[pablo]

if you could get the projectors sitting nice it would be a good job I think someone does car specific kits but no idea who

 

[Brennan]

The ones in the image above don't look too bad if there was a proper surround to go around them

This. Going to have to do the same!

 

[Brennan]

We haven't even worked out of such a product exists @Artoir

It does. The Aussies use them on all their Jap imports.

 

[Brennan]

Any links to them then bud?

Sounds a recipe for disaster. Go to the scrapyard and butcher a spare pair lol

 

[Artoir]

Ebay.com.au probably your best bet.

Or you could get someone like @PeteMoore to knock you up something.

Wouldn't be doing it myself lol be getting a pro to do it
