did you use the mini h1's?

 

Yeah I used the H1's with the kit.

The results are definitely stunning. The PnP kits would cower at the performance of these. Yes, it was a huge pain but now that it's done I'm absolutely satisfied, and glad I did it. Honestly, I will most likely do this for any vehicle I own in the future, it's that much better. I will post pics of it tonight, I still have to tweak the aim a little and thats it.

 

Awesome, I want to see pics! I did a retrofit on my old Nissan Frontier and it was exactly what you descibed - you can't live without the performance of real projector HID.

What were you able to salvage from your old PnP kit; bulb or harness? I know ballast for sure. I think I am going to do this when I take some vacation time from work.

 

With the F-150's anyway you can keep the ballasts, relay kit...etc Almost everything except the bulbs. the projectors use H1 bulbs where-as the OEM HL uses H13 bulbs. But the projector comes with a H13 "adapter" and that makes everything SO MUCH EASIER! Instead of making sure you're level, fighting with the cutoff, blah blah... The new projector is in just as level as a bulb would be. It was a PITA getting the HL's apart, the mounting and resealing was the easiest part. pix:









And finally the best part: The cut off - (will take night time pix tonight)


Don't mind the dirty shop door... I have since adjusted the cutoff, they are perfectly level and straight now. Simple as adjusting it with bulbs in it, same bolt.

 

stuckzipper, that looks awesome. How many hours do you have in it?

 

sticky please?

 

Since it was the first retro I have done, it took me about 5-1/2 hours from start to finish. I strapped and clamped the HL's overnight to reseal and then reinstalled the next morning. But, I will be doing another set this week with the same projectors, selling this first set (if anyone is interested ($350))

I will take more pics on that one.

 

why sell them??

 

Because I like doing this, and you guys would like them? IDK why really... Why not?

I am selling my OEM set that I have already done, and if anyone else wants some just let me know. I also am doing a set of 2008 F250 HL's, a 2006 Tiburon, and 2011 F250 so far. Once they are done...

 

hehe the addiction has caught on. I told you its a lot easier than most think, and the Mini H1 pnp adapters are awesome. Just did a set into my fogs, going to do another 2008 F150, a 2005 F150, and maybe a 2008 Escape in the near future.

I will never own another vehicle without it. Once you drive behind top quality projectors, you're hooked.
