Sweet. Got my headlight today from ebay via fedex!

I will use this thread to document and create my how-to on retrofitting some RX330 HID projectors into our headlights. (the other headlight should be arriving shortly) I got a steal on these for only $25 shipped each iirc.

Received it:






*iirc = if I remember correctly.

Nice! Looks like it came by UPS to me.

^^I said Fedex, I meant UPS, LOL.

hey what are you gonna need to do to make this work (bodywork etc ) what do u think the final cost will be?

[philosophicaljt]

final cost should be low. cost of projectors, and then cost of some cheap aluminum pieces to change bracketing.

And then whatever I need to change the cutoff shields, which I won't know till later.

Nice, I want to see someone retro some RX350 lights...

[someazn]

I have RX330 HID Projectors if you need them, $80 shipped for the pair.

What would you guys think about angel eyes on the projector?

I am starting to think they look to "ricey" or just too cheapo. Not sure. I would love some opinions.

I need to find a "kit" to use.

I found this one I like, very bright. I can hid it behind the rim of the projector, so during the day its not seen.

Other Side of projector. Three bolts total.


After projector is removed:




Projector itself:


Important picture.....I need to bend that shield in order to prevent the glare. Which way do I bend it? More inward, or more outward?


Now me just taking photos of me ripping the whole headlight apart to get it ready for paint.






With the side reflector:

Without the reflector:

remember when you seal it up again, i used all weather clear silicone sealant on my gen2 headlights and so far no condensation problems. its been almost 2 yrs since ive done mine

[Projex0]

hey phil can you measure the stock lenz for me? also dude did you use the oven to open them up or heat gun?


as far as shields go u think it can be reached from the back opening to bend it closed or will i need to open the HL up
