A couple of questions on H1 mini retrofit
Hey guys, I am hoping someone can help me answer a few questions I had while working on retrofitting the h1 kit in my truck. First, I know the h1 projectors are bi-xenon, is the wire that runs from the projector that's for the solenoid for if you want to run high beams as well? I really don't want to hook the high beams up so I was curious if I could leave that wire out or not. Secondly, reading through the instructions, it says to insert projector with solenoid and beam cutoff on bottom and then insert the bulb with the ground part in at six oclock. If I follow that guide does that mean everything will be aligned? Finally, do I need to setup the height aim? How will I do that? Thanks for all the help guys!

1 - Technically no, you dont need to hook up high beam, but Im not sure why you wouldnt?
2 - You'll still have to tweak them before you jb weld or whatever youre using to secure them permenantly
3 - Proper way is to park on level ground, 25' away from a wall. Measure from the ground to the center of the projector. Subtract 2" and thats where the cut off should be. Since the mini's just use a nut, tighten the nut in the housing, put the housings back on your truck (without the lense) and do the above... Also thats how you'll make sure your projectors are straight. Once theyre staright and aimed, put the jb weld or whatever on.

eyecandy, where does the solenoid wire hook to? I just wasn't going to wire up the solenoid if that was for high beams because I still will have the halogen high beam bulb. Also, are there any tricks to putting the lenses back together? Do I want to heat the housing with glue first then pull out of oven and press lens on or put it all in at once?

Yeah it's a 16 model and has a separate high beam bulb I'm pretty sure..I was going to just leave that in for high and have projectors for low

Would that not be the way to do it? I want to keep other halogen bulb. I think I saw where that's what some other guys were doing with newer models
