HELP! Projector retrofits!

mikeyS.S · January 24th, 2012, 11:04 AM

Hi everyone! I purchased retrofit head lights from a US board last year and sadly one sroud has fell off due to shipping

. Can anyone steer me in the right direction or can help fix the problem? I will pay for the help! Need this done ASAP because my car has been repainted and I'd like to get these headlights installed!

Thanks in advanced
Mike

Put headlight in oven. Wait for plastic to get soft. Pry tabs remove lense. repair said shroud.
Reheat assy/lense. Reassemble. Test. Beer. Beer. Beer. Repeat on other headlight for added insurance. Beer. Beer. Beer.

...in oven at around 200F for 10 minutes or so IIRC.

Did it all with a heat gun! And I gotta tell ya it was pretty damn easy... I would recommend a 2nd set of hands, so my bro helped me and it was a complete success!

I was told that I would need a H1 HID kit with a H4 wiring harness... Can this be done?? And if so I need HIDs ASAP!! Anyone got a quick link?!?!?

This must be a retrofit source kit.

The shrouds need to CLICK into place. A fellow member had this same issue happen.

Yes, you need H1 bulbs. Just cut the stock plastic plug off of the cars harness and hardwire the HIDs in.
