I finally set aside some time to start my first projector retrofit.
Given all the issues I read about guys having trouble opening up their factory lights, I decided to leave my stock quads alone and picked up a set of black and clear Depot lights from Amazon.
Paint and supplies were ordered through eBay.
The V3 projectors and the rest of the lighting components came from DDM Tuning. <fingers crossed>
$130 for the headlights
$125 for the projectors and HIDs (DDM was running a great sale)
$40 for paint and misc supplies
About $300 total.
Start by taking all the screws and wiring out of the headlights. <Sorry, no pics of that step>
Oven set to 210* for 8 mins to loosen things up and back in for 5 more mins at a time until they came apart quickly.
Plan to do this 2-3 times. DO NOT try to force them apart before they are ready.
You will warp them or break something.
3 coats of auto-grade primer.
2 coats of True Blue Pearl.
Clearcoat applied and cured.
Projectors installed.
You put them back together in reverse order.
Place the bezel back in the housing and replace the lens.
Press them together to line them up, but you need to put the whole thing back in the oven for 5 mins or so to loosen up the adhesive, then you can press them together for good.
I ran a thin layer of silicone around the seam for extra protection.
All finished
The DDM HID H13 to H1 relay harness made wiring up the HIDs a breeze.
The only tricky part was finding a place for the relays and ballasts.
