Question on Retrofitting

[Nixthebomb]

okay so in doing research for a true retrofit, I ran upon these

http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/servlet/the-305/9004-9007-HB1-HB5/Detail

Now if I'm thinking correctly, than these would be a pretty simple swap in a clear lens would it not? And would the large style fit in an explorer housing?

Or does anyone have a recommendation on a "simple" retrofit?

You are going to have to ask the retailer how much space you need inside your headlight housing to mount the projector from the back to front, though, IIRC there should be plenty of room in your housing. You will have more than enough room side to side and top to bottom.

Those are not the best projectors, but they make an easy retrofit, because they are narrow enough to fit through your standard bulb hole and they are notched to use the stock mounting hole to keep them straight so that you don't have to do any modifications.

most aftermarket projectors come with a clear lens... those G1-G5 aftermarket projectors aren't the best


this would be the best option for a no modification fit

Well the new one piece projectors are definitely eye appealing, but they just don't cut it for me, its either light on the righ right in front of you or light everything in font of you up, minus the road in the latter, so I'm going to be retrofitting over the summer, thinking the Morimoto mini's H1, 35W 5000K

If you want to retrofit, I would use Morimoto Mini's

Fit in any housing, and no drilling required. As for the kit, I'd use V-HID's H1 kit. Blue or Purple as preferred...

yeah I used the mini H1`s from TRS and used the 50w ballast and the 5000k bulbs and the output is awesome and way much better than the halogen setup below is the link for the kit I used with Apollo shrouds, 50 w ballast, and 5000k bulbs
