The FX35 projectors use a normal D2S bulb with a solenoid that pulls the cutoff shield down for highs.

Ok, so noob question...the HID bulbs I have now, 6500k, I would be able to re-use if I did do this? or are they not compatible? And is the actual projector (the half moon-shaped piece) just something that surrounds the bulb? (very noob at this)

you cant, they use d2s projectors, and those bulbs use a completely diff connection setup than our h4 bulbs.

customlightz said that they include the new headlights for $1000. That's why it's very interesting but expensive.

I saw some mazda 6 projector who use H1 bulbs for $80. SO I would be able to build them with an H1 5000K HID kit. I need to find Solara headlights at the dirty bastards angry dogs without food junk yard. Then it would cost me around $200 + paint + seal + time + lot of pieces to make it fit.. Im gonna think about it..for now I sit on my wonderful leather sofa, watch a movie on my HC and relax, I got a cold lol...

I've noticed on the website, it's Gen 1 headlights, anyone know whether or not they can retro the Gen 1.5???

izn trbl will retro pretty much any headlights
and yes, while you have to provide your own lights i actually prefer it
anyone notice my lights are black housing?
this is the cure to everyone's "ebay black housing headlights have bad hotspots" problem, albeit a very expensive cure.

Not bad... what's the turnaround time for the retro fit ?

by **Mr_Chunkz** » Wed May 21, 2008 11:16 pm

a while
i think mines took 3 or 4 months
it was worth the wait

Sh!t. I might have to get these.

But I'm confused. Do I send them my OEM headlights and $700 or do I buy an HID kit first and then send that to them to customize?

send them your headlights, then order the hids they provide. the h4 hids u have now wont work with the projectors they have , totally different setup.

meaning. your own headlights +700.

something I cannot do since my car is a daily.
And I'm not forking out more cash to sell another set of headlights. plus I rarely drive at night so..

I'm curious too.

So Customlightz charges $150 for each headlight assembly?

actually you can keep you existing ballasts
the lights come with their own bulbs
just ask them for a wiring harness so you can use your existing ballasts with your new bulbs

But yeah you do send your headlight

k just got back from another s2k meet. Josh was over there (Izn Trbl) Spoke to him and told him I was willing to help anyone out here whos interested enough to setup up some type of "group buy" or maybe standardize a set.

I gave him the idea that he may be able to just provide the housings and retro it with whatever options you want. EX: chrome/black housings, whatever projectors you want, or if you have your own HIDs allready, etc etc etc.
I told him that I've seen sets of the Ebay black housings and to use those for the retro. Itll be a lot better quality once done since it will be resealed by him and wont leak.

I'm just helping out a friend so if anyone is REALLY interested. PM me. I'm actually going to go by his shop and maybe take pics of the Camry or my S in front to help get interest.

I'm done with my car but hey, just helping out people here since these projectors will be another option some people may wanna get.

the projectors and housing are second to none in quality and light output is out of this world insane.
