EvilC Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am going to attempt to make my own HID setup for my 240. Here is a pic of what I have so far. Pic doesn't show the cheapo Ebay H4 lights I bought a few months back. I plan to cut the lights I bought and place the projectors inside of them. Also plan to mod the stock metal head light case so it can hold the entire assembly. Guy, 80-LT1 has given me a few pointers....so I am going to try and make mine "water proof". Any ideas are welcome or if someone knows of a decent "kit" which I doubt there are any let me know. So I have 2008 BMW HID setup with the Infinity FX35 projectors. My Ebay lights havn't been pulled off the car yet due to the snow we just got yesterday. I will keep you all posted as I try and make this one happen. Then it will be yellow HID fog lights!

EvilC Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I do plan to trim the projectors down to fit in the new head lights, after I cut them in half and know how much I should take off. I also have to wait until I hear back from Guy because in his picture of his setup, looks like he only had the projectors in there and not the casing the projectors sit in.

Rustyfriend Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 this seems very similar to the projector retrofit that some of my buddies have been doing over at malibuclub.ca so you are going to mod "stock" head lights so they now have projectors? sweet one thing that gets me is the wrong use of terms for these. a projector is the reflective housing you have pictures above. an HID system is just the bulb with the ballast that produces the most awesome light ever... good luck on your project. as for me i am just going to get the cheapo lights that are on ebay for our cars and just throw the HIDs in there.

80LS1T Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am using the whole projector just like you have pictured there. I cut off some of the corners so that was smaller though(Like the bottom of the projector you have pictured). Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 as for me i am just going to get the cheapo lights that are on ebay for our cars and just throw the HIDs in there. I've seen them.... they are the ones that blind on coming drivers, and light up the tops of all the trees in their path. With out a proper HID projector housing, they are poo-poo IMHO... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but there really is no cheap or easy way to have HID's/Projector lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfriend Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 i am aware of this. i have HIDs in my high beams on my other car and i actually like them. i haven't used projectors yet but for now i am satisfied. down the road i will do the complete transformation though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
