my halogen retrofit

warioware · 07-13-2015, 11:07 PM

So i decided to go ahead and upgrade my lights to xenon. One of my good friends has a shop that specializes in VW lighting upgrades but said he would tackle the retrofit. I purchased the acrylic angel eyes from bienarcis and sourced the remaining parts.www.vxtuning.com this is my friends company

warioware,

So does your friend plan on taking on customers for more lights?

Also the projector housing, did you go with HIDs or LEDs?

its a possibility! he told me he was going to get ahold of his supplier because he wants to get all the parts made and put them together himself that way you don't have to send in your headlights etc.. They are HIDs i believe they are morimoto mini H1 with gatling projector shroud

What was the turn around time for the actual work done on the lights, not including install on vehicle?

CharlieVu · 07-15-2015, 12:33 AM

Sexy! Great job. Bienarcis did my whole conversion. Best investment ever! Question, do you plan on going quad projectors set up? How about the LED strip on top?

CharlieVu · 07-15-2015, 12:37 AM

Like so

carzaddict · 07-15-2015, 08:40 AM

Like them but wouldn't they look better with the projector further back, like in the post 2 up?

yes originally they stuck out more so he pushed them back slightly but he didn't want to cut too much because it would be harder to align the projector/cut off line etc.. so we decided not to mess with it too much.
