Revisiting this thread. 6 months in, the current projector setup is working awesome, but looking back, the install wasn't as clean as I'd have liked. With an extra set of headlights I have lying around, time for a re-do and upgrade! The Retrofit Source is having a nice Black Friday sale, so I can get BETTER projectors at a discounted price, PLUS another 25% off with an order over $250. I will be going with:

FX-R 1.1 Bi-Xenon Projectors

Ballasts: Retain existing Morimoto 3Five 35W, with AMP-D2S adapters:
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/produc ... cts_id=160 - ballasts (I have an older revision)
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/produc ... ucts_id=97 - adapters

Bulbs: Need Morimoto 3Five D2S, instead of the H1 that I have now. Going with 4300K.

Shrouds: Gatling Gun "Value" -- I'll be painting them flat black and so I don't need a perfect chrome finish.

OCI Butyl Rubber Glue - for resealing. This stuff might also work for 2000+ inner door water guards!

Rubber Housing Caps - in 90mm for the back of my exposed headlight. The current setup is a slice of PVC pipe epoxy'ed into place...

And to push my total to $250 so that I can get a 25% discount instead of 20%, I'm upgrading my H3 3000K fog light bulbs to Morimoto from DDM:

Thank you very much. I'm about due for new D2S bulbs since one is purpling.

*dang*, my credit card is hating me right now.

Ditto. Thankfully Intense's holiday sale goes until December 18th, so I can put off the extra pain

Of course, my owner's manual does not specify the type (wattage and Kelvin), it just says "All xenon lights are high tension and must be performed by authorised personnel"

Far as I know, the vast majority of low beam projector bulbs are D2S and 35W. Colour temperature can be whatever you want theoretically, but stock is about 4300K.

I likey

Me double likey!
It would be cool to see more pictures of this as it comes together!

I hope to have more pictures. The last swap took a lot more head scratching than I anticipated, so there was no real write-up.

I hope you know the FX-rs are gonna require even more head scratching , My quad mini d2s is about to go back to the states as something came undone and i had one projector suddenly droop , its okay though because they were much too low anyways and i had them up as high as they could go.

Also i just had a 3k fog go out , i think im not getting a good enough ground , too much alumnium , gonna get a new redtop with posts and screws so i can run the car off the posts and aux everything off the screws and ground directly too the battery , poor grand prix , underneath the headlight my wiring looks like a rats nest atm.... :(

Nice choice for the redo. The FX-R is a great projector.
