Use existing HID's for projector retrofit?

[shundal]

Just low beams. I would need everything though - headlight casing, projectors, bulbs, ballasts, shrouds, wiring, etc

Gotcha, yea, then it would be more. Here is the complete kit for the mini mirimoto projectors i am using. Looks like its $300 plus shipping http://blackflamecustoms.com/products/product_info.php/mini-morimoto-bixenon-retrofit-p-130

and the headlights i went with are $126 shipped here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-11-Chevy-Suburban-Tahoe-Pickup-Truck-Headlights-Headlamps-Pair-Set-/130623744183?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2007%7CModel%3ATahoe&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e69c828b7#ht_1578wt_1189

Update, got all the parts in, however after doing a little more research and watching some videos, i decided to send back the mini morimoto projectors and get teh fx-r projectors instead. Hopefully the projectors come in by the middle of next week and i can get this retro going.

Simran..........

Did you ever do the retrofit?

How did it come out?

Sorry Lee, I haven't been on here for a while. Yea I finished up the retrofit and ran them for about a year with no problems. After not wanting to cut a notch behind the headlight to make the FX-r projectors fit properly, I ended up going with the Morimoto D2s projectors. Although the H1 projectors are smaller and would require less modification, I used the D2s projectors so that i could use my existing HID ballasts by using a D2s to Amp converter.

Because of the size of the d2S projector, I had to cut a much larger hole to get the projector sitting back far enough to clear the front lens, but i was able to get it to work.

I ended up selling them locally after a year, only because I wanted to attempt a quad-setup, which I have started, but just haven't had the time to finish. I'll try to find some pics of my setup and post them.

My Overall setup was:

1. Eagle Eyes Headlights
2. Morimoto D2s Version 2 Projectors
3. Morimoto 3five AMP ballasts
4. Gatling Gun Shrouds
5. D2s to Amp Converter
5. Morimoto D2s 4300k HID Bulbs

I couldn't find any pics of when I had finished the retrofit, but I did find a few of when I was figuring out a way to mount the d2s projectors which required a lot of cutting to the back of the bowl. I will be getting back to attempt my quad setup and will take more pics of the progress.

These pics were before I painted the shroud, low beam bowl and outside trim black.
