So I have had HID in my Town car for a long time, and while the light output was good enough for me, it was not good for the on coming drivers. I have had some drivers flash me because of my lights because they are not meant for HIDs. So I got some projectors from the retrofit source. I wanted it to look as factory as possible and easy to install.
I went with their Morimoto mini H1 6.0 projectors.
Now most people put their headlights in the oven but I didn't. I used a heat gun instead because it is more focused and I didn't wanna melt other parts of the housing. Also my oven didn't fit the light so that is another reason why I didn't go the baking route. Heat a portion of the headlights glue and then use a butter knife or a flat head screw driver to separate the housing.
I separated the housing as shown in the picture.
Remove the cover.
Then I had to use a dremel the shave off the inside and the outside of the housing. This had to be done because you have to use a nut to hold the projector onto the housing and the projector is not long enough.
Back of the housing after shaving it off.
Also had to cut the shroud because it was hindering with the housing to close back up again.
Installed the projectors.
Fixed the angle so I can glue it back together. Make sure the cut off is straight, that's the most important thing. Up and down can be adjusted later with the factory adjustments.
After adjusting the angle, it's time to glue it back together.
Now to get the high beams (bi-xenon) to work, I had to use a diode and this is how I did the wiring.
Now some finished pics. I will try to get some daytime pics but these will have to do. I think it came out great. I am not blinding anyone now, have high beams, looks almost stock, and the light out has increased.
