Default Test fitting projectors

Have a Morimoto mini-h1 hid projector retrofit I'm putting in a set of cheap ebay headlights. Sealed with butyl not permaseal so the first one opened fairly easy. Only have one opened and test fit so far.

Sweet man I'm planning on doin mine soon, they look real good how hard was the install I'm guessing not to bad. Any tips for when I do mine.
Mind doing me a favor and measuring the distance across the blinker reflector so I could stick like a halo there, please

+Subscribed. Ive been looking to change up my headlights - just not fond of all the ricer looking headlights or the "halo" options. I was just going to open my OEM and paint them black - but I cant even bake a frozen pizza right so trying to cook my OEMs open scares the heLL outta me... Please post pics of the build and results.

Could u help me out by measuring the diameter of the blinker reflector like the outer diameter so I could put a halo there. Just need to know the size

This is just a set I'm throwing together for now. I have a set of Nissan Maxima projectors (Hella BiXenon, super pretty purple/blue flicker at the cutoff) I would like to put in a set one day but that takes much more cutting and fitting. These just bolt right in using the stock bulb holder socket. I'll measure the turn signal part tomorrow.

Thank you so much this is one of the things holding me back from ordering my retrofit stuff but soon enough I will order it.

Nice man.. I was looking at doing this exact same thing... Was going to get the projectors from a escalade... How hard was it for you to affix the projector to a f150 OEM housing?
