Headlight Project:

I didn't want to get facelift headlights, couldn't be bothered with all the wiring and i actually prefer the pre-facelight headlights so i thought of getting mini projectors for them.

Brought some headlights from ebay for £26.00



There in good condition but the lenses do need a good sanding down etc..

Then brought 2x 2.5" mini Bi-Xenon Projectors for £25.00 (on sale at the time.)

started off with one headlight. Put headlight in oven for 5 minutes.

disassembly headlight







Plastidip (Black) the shinny parts.

Before



after





New shiny mini projector



Cleaned inside and outside





waited for paint to dry and then fitted projector













temp fitted with lenses to see what it was like. They badly need sanding and restoring back.



I will be fitting H1 HID 10000k Bulbs with H4 Bi-Xenon Twin relay wiring harness HID conversion kit.

What you think?
 
Looks good so far.

What are you doing for indicators and side lights?
Are you going to Audi style DRLs?
 
Well I might have to sell these headlights :( which I don't want to but I need to sell the car now, got another child on the way. Can't fit three kids in the back. I'm gutted as don't want to sell her.
 
Update:

Received my HID's and H4 harness adaptors.







Only just noticed while uploading the photos the plastidip has pealed away :( good it's plastidip as can just peel and redo.

I connected all cables and tested on the car to see if it would work and it does.













Wiring



Still deciding if i should put them on the car as I've now got to sell the car :( which I don't want to!

I've been looking at doing this.

Is the H1 to H4 loom plug and play?

Yes it's plug and play.

Plug H1 bulb to ballast. Plug harness from ballast to H4 connector. That's it. If your using mini projectors they have a high beam which you can connect to the harness.
