Projector Retrofit
 
Hi Guys

I did a search and I don't believe it but nothing really grabbed my attention.

Anyway,

who did you guys get to retrofit projectors for you?
-do i need to get the projectors on my own?
-do shops do em?

I have an 03 accord coupe

Thanks

other forums might have guides. do a google search. i know VCC will have one or two topics on retrofitting.

those who've done retrofitting will have done themselves or friends have done for them. shops won't because it's illegal to alter your headlights. and yes you have to get your own projectors

you'll need

-projectors
-bulbs for the projectors
-hid kit
-relays kit
-an oven or heat gun
-silicon
-time and patience

go to hidplanet for a lot of info and how to
on a 03 accord its simple enough to take the lights off
-pop hood
-remove plastic cover
-remove bumper
-iirc 4 bolts hold the headlight in place

Time and patience is essential.

But if u get the morimoto mini h1 it should take only 2-3 hours.

Took me 2 hrs to do my Infiniti G20

Sounds about right, I did my setup in 2hrs including painting my surrounds! The quality on the morimoto is very nice!

Bake or heat gun both works well I used heat gun as the wife didn't want me to put my lights in the oven
