NEW Dual HID Halo Projector

Pix of parts im using for my new headlight setup and some explanations of why i chose these parts.

Here is my story

So after 2 -3 years of researching and doing my home work on hid lighting and how they work and what the best output and the different kinds of projectors i finally decided that i do what i always dreamnt of doing... dual hid halos for the sentra/200sx.

many people never dream or dare doing this kinda thing so i thought i share with you all what has been going on for the past 3 months ..

i aquired these headlights from ebaymotors.com almost a year ago for my first retrofit and found out that my current projectors couldnt fit into them for the size issue so i decided to go put these aside while i got me a set of crystal clear headlights for the b14 and custom fitted the A6.. so now i have these halos readily available and just sitting here i thought i make them to use for their original purpose... dual hid halos.

originally wanted the ECE ( european) A4/S4 Valeos but those are so rare and is finding a needle in the haystack so i decided to go and add these 04/05 Acura TSX projectors for the low beams. Reason being is for they are the same size as the Valeos but has the output similiar of the S2000 having a extremely sharp cut off and color and a very wide spread.

next i added the bmw single xenon shrouds in chrome. for my halos are in chrome i really wanted the OEM look to it make it looks like it belongs so i grabbed these bad boys off ebay for 130 shipped. Costly but they were the only ones i can find so i caved in and jes went ahead and bought them.

next for the high beams i decided to add the bixenon xenon 03 bmw e46 bixenon bosch projectors...the reason i chose these bad boys was cuz their output is by far one of the best tiny bixenon projectors.. size is an issue with the halo housing and these were the best bixenon projectors of the size that will work. I also wanted the OEM finish look to it as well so i added the OEM 04/05 BMW E46 BiXenon Shrouds on top . The below pictures is what it looks like with the chrome shrouds on and some pictures of just the projectors alone. I got lucky on this projector for i originally had the 05 BMW E46 ZKW Bixenon that were too big.. and so i found someone on the hid forums that wanted these and traded for it. Also i found a great deal on these shrouds as well for 95 shipped in OEM chrome mint condition... though cheaper than the single Xenon it was more readily available.

Since i already have the Matsushita Ballast from the 02-03 Maximas i needed didnt need to buy 2 pairs of new ballast... but i still am missing one for the high beam portion.

Ive decided and researched and found that these DENSO Ballast from Toyota/Lexus HID equipped cars were perfect for my application !

Since my hi beam port is low in space i decided to get these for they are one of the thinest (sp?) and most durable ballast. Since all ballast are basically the same i got these at a incredible price of 214 shipped and insured !

i decided since my current D2S HID bulbs already has been colorshifted and i need a new phillips 4100-4300 K D2S HID bulb i decided to grab a 2 sets of new ones so when turned on they both have the correct amount of burn in time and so they will color shift the same so one wont look brighter than the other.

Again Ebaymotors has great deals i picked up 2 pairs of these phillips 4100 K D2S bulbs for 120 shipped ! that my friend is a steal when regular price are usually 100 dollars a pair.

It is a sad day today.. as much as i tried keeping the chrome look to my front headlight i have now decided that since the availability of the Bmw E46 oem single xenon chrome shrouds are near impossible to find in excellent condition and now have no choice to paint the ones i have found black therefore turning my front end into the stealth look. Here are some pictures of the blemish.

So now that i decided on this everything on my front end of my car will be black and i will be adding a custom set of stealth corners version 3 to compliment the dark black headlights.

so soon everything will be finished and installed and if everything goes well i should have it all done by may 14 2005.

Well this past few days i been searching and searching and searching for a plastic chromer that local within texas. I searched high and low on google and finally found a place in Garland , TX called Tony Auto Classics. He said it be about 4-6 weeks to chrome them and so the chroming process is 40 dollars. He showed me some of his work and the work he does it awesome.. exactly like OEM quality if not better. Only downfall is a long long time to get it finished but that what it takes to get it in superb quality then might as well wait.

Well this afternoon i drove out to my retrofitter place and dropped off about 99 % of my gear for the retrofit. He will be getting started while we wait for the final peice to get here which is the shrouds at the chromers. Cant wait to see the final product and hopefully within the next 2-3 weeks it will be installed and wired for pictures.

Well this afternoon i drove out to my retrofitters place and dropped off the last peice. We took some measurements and pictures to make sure that we have enough space for the back end of the projectors. Was told that the process should be starting the retrofit tonight and should be done in about 2 weeks ! Cant wait so excited so once it is done pictures will be posted and also these headlights (not exact same ones) will be capable for purchase on my website !

Well today my retrofitter told me the halo ring of the housing must go due to lack of space in the housing. The OEM BMW E46 Bixenon shroud is taking up alot of space so it is that or the Halo Ring. I chose to keep the shroud for i want the OEM flush look and make it more projector style look to it.

This is a most recent update. 2 more weeks and the headlights will be done. Cant wait !
