Great write-up! I did this myself 6mo ago with Nissan Maxima bixenon projectors (used), The mirror surface was a little cloudy, I'd use new projectors like you did if I had to do it all over again.

Spent money on the TRS bixenon kit and the had a few issues, would have done a cheap Amazon kit like you did if I had to do it over again too.

Thanks for taking the time to do this for others.

 

Much better writeup than what I've seen before! Thanks!

 

Thanks. I just wanted to make sure no one had to go through the confusion and frustration I did haha.

 

Nice write up I'll probably use it as a how to guide when it comes time to do mine. That's if you don't mind

 

Nice write up. I'd like to use it as a how to guide when it comes time to do mine.

 

Thats the reason I made it haha. If you have any questions let me know.

 

Will do. It's probably not gonna happen for a while i gotta figure out my oil pressure issue I probably need new motor. I have 0 oil pressure at warm idle after about 30 seconds (it's been like that the last 10,000 miles though, finish fixing my deathwoble, sye and driveshaft then hid's lol I'll probably get around to hid's in 6-10 months.

 

Not trying to thread-jack here Dean so please excuse the rogue post...

Wheeler, check your sending unit - it may be faulty.

 

Here's the video comparing the 35w and 55w setups

 

I noticed a "slight" increase in intensity going from 35w to 55w HID ballasts in my projectors, and the light is a bit warmer (less blue), but the actual brightness did not increase tremendously

I do have some crappy DDM tuning ballasts + bulbs (not really that high-end), but were your experiences similar? Its hard to get a feel over video because of differences in exposure plus the camera doesn't capture as much dynamic range as the human eye does

 

I noticed a pretty big difference in person, in distance and brightness. I went from an amazon kit to a morimoto kit though

 

Morimoto's the shiz! Interested in selling the AZ kit?

 

I'm proably gonna use it on my Comanche, but if I don't I'll let you know

 

lol.. I forgot about the MJ

 

I'm about to start another retrofit. Is there anything specific you guys would like me to take a picture of?
