![]() ![]() Some examples of vehicles with headlight reflectors that we would consider large are the Toyota Tacoma, Dodge Ram, Honda CR-V, Chevy Cobalt. In referring to the size of headlights, we’re really referring to the dimensions of the chromed free-form reflector, where the projector will install.īig headlights - Don’t concern yourself over size too much, you can probably retrofit anything from a tiny Morimoto Mini to a big Lexus LS430 projector. ![]() SIZE COUNTS! HOW BIG ARE YOUR HEADLIGHTS? This threaded shaft fits through the pre-existing hole in your reflector bucket (where the halogen bulb comes through) and clamps down with a variety of hardware. Morimoto Minis - (H1 and D2S), where the bulb holder doubles as a mounting shaft. Examples include the FX-R, TL, TSX, S2K, RX330, LS430, etc. Are you looking for something that is as easy as possible to install, or are you looking to get your hands dirty on the retrofit even if it means major modification to the headlights is required? When it comes to installation requirements, there are two basic kinds of projectors :Ĭonventional - which will require a considerable amount of cutting to the stock headlight and are more difficult to align correctly. Now that the choice is clear between needing a bi-xenon or not, we should consider the ease of installation. HOW COMFORTABLE YOU FEEL MODIFYING YOUR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES? If your vehicle uses the following bulb type, you need to use a bi-xenon:Ģ. If your vehicle uses the following bulb type, you can use a low beam or bi-xenon: If the vehicle uses a single “dual filament” bulb, then you must use a bi-xenon to retain the full functionality of your low and high beams. Do they use a single bulb with two filaments to produce the low and high beams? Or, do they use one bulb for the low beam, and another bulb for the high beam? If the vehicle uses two bulbs, then you can use a low beam or a bi-xenon projector. This choice is completely based on how your headlights are set up now. When it comes time to pick out a projector for your headlight retrofit, there are enough options to make your head spin. By concentrating all of the available light on the road where you need it rather than scattering it into an unfocused blob – put simply, your headlights are brighter when they have projectors. As the saying goes “Power is nothing without Control” – so why bother installing HID’s in your headlights without the proper fixture to capture and focus that powerful light into a controlled beam pattern and spread it out on the road ahead? Projectors are the most important component when it comes to a headlight upgrade, and due to the huge variety of available models out there, choosing one can often be confusing.įrom different brands, makes, models, origins etc – the one thing you should know is that regardless of the projector you use, your light output will not only look better than “that guy” with the cheap HID kit thrown in his stock headlights, but will also perform considerably better. ![]()
