2001 Mitsubishi Galant DESounds good, the Minis are awesome projectors, but need some tweaking to be perfect, like they bow down at the sides etc., go to HIDplanet to know exactly whats needed
So Im taking the JDM heads that I got and Im going to retrofit in some projectors. The ones that Im going to pick up are going to Hi/lo bi-xenon HID projectors, for the outer housing. Then Ill use some PIAA yellow H1 bulbs in the inner housing for fog lights.

If those are actual Super VR-4 heads, I wouldnt retrofit them. Theyre prob worth more unaltered...

Yea those are actual and prolly are worth alot. And I want projectors lol. Im not too concerned with the resale value because their last stop is prolly going to be with me I just really want some better light output.

Nice choice, I want FX-R's myself, but at least with those, if you did want to resell the SVR4's you could remove those projectors and everything will be back to stock, you don't have to mutilate the reflectors to mount the Mini's.

Exactly. Im looking for something that will look factory and last until I take them out if I ever choose to. I dont want to have to mutilate and rig up a mount to get them to fit and the first big bump have one knocked loose.

You might wanna use some blue Loctite or something though when you use the locking nuts, some HIDPlanet members have had rotation after a while and you may have to open 'em back up to fix it, you may not. Let me know if you don't have a heat gun if you wanted to go that way, I got a spare one.

LOL! Well yeah if you plan on keeping em then of course it wont matter much. Im eventually going to get projectors too, but theres other things I want or need to do with the G before then.Originally Posted by WhiteGalant
You plan on leaving the housing red?

Yea im going to keep the housing red I was thinking of spraying the reflector housing thats gonna have the projector with some spray tint so its a darker silver.

umm are you going to modifiy the high beams section to use it as a location for fog beam? the high beam is unshielded and the pattern is basically uncontrolled so if it actually was foggy and you turned on that section (which is actually the "brights") it would reflect the light back at you off the fog (or snow or rain). in order to use that location as a fog, you would need to retro in fog lights or otherwise find a way to control that beam.

I would kill you if you cut up some SVR4 heads :) j/k...
Surely a Aussie member would love to buy them :D
Hmmm. Good point. I didnt think of that. I assumed that if I just aimed them down really low it would act the same. :(

I dont want to sell them. They are in immaculate condition. All tabs intact, lenses crystal clear. I couldent have asked for a better pair then these.

unfortunately, the hi beam section doesn't really have a cut-off like a low beam or fog beam, so aiming them low would still allow almost all the light shoot too high. there are cheap fog lights that can b retro'd in though and since you are going to have to open them up to drop in the low beam/bixenon, it's only like an extra step to complete.
these are cheap...

S2k+ osram CBI + clear lens !!!!
Those CBI's are like $190 for a pair. Eff that, they're nice and all, but I'll live with some Morimoto 5000K's.
