How To Install Retrofit Projectors With Bi-Xenon [10 Steps]

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

How to install retrofit projector headlights! Projector retrofit install DIY!
This video will show you how to install bi-xenon projectors into your factory headlights - in just 10 steps! We will cover everything you need to know before attempting this retrofit.
You will need the following:
Bi-Xenon retrofit kit
H1 HID Kit (I used 4.3K temperature)
Basic hand tools
RTV clear silicone
We cover every step of the retrofit process in detail so that your finished product will be superb. The basic premise is that you will bake your headlights at 290F for around 5-8 minutes, remove the lens from the headlight, remove the shroud from the reflector, install the aftermarket Bi-xenon projector, and finally seal the headlight back up.
Please let me know if you have any questions! Please hit that like and subscribe button! Thanks for watching!

    (Old but) What is very good about this is the color of the bulbs available! He used 4700K. That is much better than 6000-6500K! If I did this I would probably use 5000K. However, also probably, I would do as you want and use LEDs at 6000K because I am rarely in bad weather and no snow. (But, I am thinking about moving to another state. Colorado.) Of course, there are off-road 5000K lights that may possibly be used.

    Nice video. Does the H1 bulb connect to the high beam wire or the low beam wire? The wire that you drilled the hole for, where do you get a connector for that? I'm assuming the black wire goes to ground and the red wire goes either to the high beam wire or to the low beam wire. Which one?

  • @UsefulVids

    @UsefulVids

    Жыл бұрын

    For the H1 bulb connection, they will connect to a ground (black) and low beam hot coming from the car (red). Since I used a bi-xenon style projector, the wiring/connector I drilled a hole for is part of the projector, it’s included. These wires will need ground (black wire for projector high beam) and the high beam hot wire when highs are flashed or activated (red wire on high harness coming from projector).

    I've built some of these myself and all the "high beam" connector does is flip a small plate down out of the way of the light. That small plat is what gives the sharp light cut off and it's flipped by the small motor inside the projector. Power is constantly applied to the 9007 bulb and it's not like the H4 bulb which has 2 separate circuits inside the bulb. What type of bulb does your car use? H4 or 9007?
