    ATL's JDM Projector Retrofit.

    So, I was watching a video on youtube about retrofitting projectors in cars blah blah blah blah blah. I was like, that shii... look hard as hell. I then stumbled upon the MORIMOTO MINI HI Kit. Here are the pictures from the install.



    Install Pics & headlight separation... I wish I got more pics but, I was getting sleepy.











    Fresh after the install... Pics with the lights on. *Note, I did not have the right Bulbsize, that's why they look so dimm"



















    Me and Nick(njjfudge) @ his house. As you can see, I need to change my Drver side fog Bulb. HID's in the heads and fogs CHECK!!!





    It's Cut off Time... I went to a warehouse to show the cut off lines. Very sharp.


















    Pics taken at work during the night to show off the heads & Fogs







    Pics taken at work during the day to show the a better pic of the projectors.

    What the hell is that on my hood?

    Is this the projectors that clips on to the stock reflector bowls?

    They don't clip in but, are locked in by using the whole bottom part as screw. You then tight them into place with a nut.

    Looks good! Hmmmm... Now you've got me reconsidering projectors. How much did the set cost? Did everything come that was needed to install?

    Do It Man! I would have order the Ebays but, i did the JDM swap. Then Depot Lights wanted like 400 for JDM Projectors. This cost me the 160 bucks total (120 for the Mini Morimoto, 35 for the H1 Hid Bulbs & 5 bucks for the Amazing Goop to seal the head lights)

    Thanks! I can see and the good thing is that I'm not blinding everyone anymore. I love the cut off line and how wide the beam is now.
