so i installed an hid retrofit kit the other day
purchased from retro solutions on the honda-tech forum
DIY BiXenon Projector Retrofit Kits, LIFETIME WARRANTY - Honda-Tech
custom HID conversions, HID kits, LED, CCFL specialists - retrosolutions
now some pics! here is the lovely box that the kit came in
found this excellent translation on the side. thought it was pretty humorous lol
part way through deconstruction
in order to seperate the headlight halves i had to bake it in the oven at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. it's kind of squirly to say the least trying to accomplish this with oven mitts on, and also trying not to break any of the tabs off.
and here it is with the projector installed. after the stock reflector has been removed it will slide right through the stock opening. no cutting required.
at the back you can see where the rear of the projector comes through. there is an alignment ring, lock washer, and lock nut. the wires with the black connector control the high-beam functionality and angel eye. the clear harness coming through at the bottom controls the led backlight ring. in some cases you need to cut a hole through the reflector in order to fit that harness, however i didn't need to. the harness fits nicely through the hole where the stock reflector bracket used to be.
here is the completed headlight assembly. in order to reassemble you have to bake it in the oven again so that the sealant becomes pliable and gooey again. the kit also includes 2 good sizes tubes of extra sealant if you need them.
and here they are reinstalled back on the car
here they are with just the angel eye rings turned on. they appear blue in the picture but they are actually bright pure white.
the led backlit colors are hard to capture with the camera so i didn't bother posting them up. they basically light up the reflector housing behind the projector.
anywho, here is a pic of the light output. it's not as great as say tsx retrofits, but still quite nice i think. certainly miles above putting hids in stock housings.
one more for ya. yes my sisters car is bubblegum pink btw lol
ok i think that about covers it. hid color is pure white 5100k btw.
