I don't have many pictures of the retrofit but here's what I have.

Here's the materials I used to do the retrofit (some are not pictured): Morimoto Mini bi-xenon projectors, D2S adapters, 5000k D2S bulbs, Apollo projector shrouds, bi-xenon wiring harness, CCFL centric rings (angel eyes), Foil tape, Clear silicone sealant, Ebay H4 housings, 2 sheets of Lexan Polycarbonate (for the lenses), EPDM D-profile rubber weatherseal, Sheet metal screws, 35 watt ultra slim ballasts, Gloss Black Rust proof spray paint, a Dremel with some cutoff wheels, a drill, a heat gun, and a mini sawzall air tool.


There is a writeup on it. It is almost the exact same setup I have only different projectors.

Here's my retrofitted projectors in the H4 housing, the silicone and glue were still drying in the pic which explains why there is a piece of paper towel underneath the shroud.


Here's a pic from when I was testing the projectors, note the sharp cutoff and nice blue band

 

New tail light assemblys pulled from junk yard (JY), new power steering high pressure hose, new passenger side mirror mount (JY) , glued on rear view mirror button, fixed center console "door" (JY)

 

I spent a half hour cleaning off the "Senior Prank" apparently it's funny to use window paint on every person's car in the high school parking lot and then silly string all of the cars too....and if you didn't know, window paint and silly string don't do well in 98 degree heat, they tend to become baked onto the vehicle...I am still beyond PO'd at this. My freaking window trim is now stained because the paint won't come off and they got paint inside the vertical trim on my back door window which I cant get out, I wish I could have something done for vandalism

 

Very cool. Thinking of doing the same.

 

Love it, and it's probably cheeper than the norcalmr2 ones too.

started making supports for the rear bumper I made

used my new grease gun

 

You should post a thread of the install I really wanna get that kit

 

Yeah, me too but after looking I'm thinking about the h1 ones because you can get the bulbs and balasts for cheeper thank the d2s ones. Like almost $50 cheeper I think. Idk, unless the d2s ones are a better bulb or something, idk.

Sealed halogen beams are only $7. Just sayin.

 

Yeah, but have you ever driven a car with hid projector headlights? It is so amazing! Way way way better than any sealed beam I've ever seen. Like literally there is no comparison. Sure it's not that good of an idea for off road use because if they break, it will be expensive, but if you just take them out or protect them somehow, they are totally worth it.

The hid's on the 06 vw gti that I had before my xj cost over $200 ea. to replace. To me, the supposed benefit does not even come close to out weighing the cost. I also like my headlights to match my aux lights. But to each their own.

 

Pulled the stock bumper off. Test fit one of my unibody tie ins for my front bumper. I had all the holes for the right hand drive in my 2000, except one was partially blocked by the sway bar mounts internal bracket. Took a dremel to it.

Had to bust out the BFH to take care of some previous contact with a Wrangler.

On that note XJ vs TJ. XJ bent bumper and fender. TJ bent axle housing. XJ WINS!

 

I was torn between HIDs and h4 conversion with an HD wiring harness. I went with the hella ecodes and the harness for the reason you just stated. I want to match aux lights and with the harness and it gives great light for me.

 

put on some new warning stickers on the freshly redone visors.

 

Seafoam in the throttle body today. Seafoam in the gas tank a couple weeks ago. I've went from around 250 miles per tank to almost 300. My wallet loves Seafoam.
