My 2018 DIY retrofit headlights
 
Thought I'd share a retrofit I did on my 2018. It was my first retrofit so I'm super happy with the way it came out. I'm running morimoto md2s 5.0 projectors with xb35 watt ballast. I also removed the yellow reflector and replaced it with a clear one. And I put in a hi profile lens for the hi beam. I'm running Philips xv2 bulbs. Thanks for looking.

Nice. I'm working on my own set of retrofitted headlights. I can appreciate the end result.

Excellent retrofit. Those projectors are sick. How's the high beam? Did you tie the shield solenoid in with the High beams also for a quad high beam or leave the projectors Low beam only? Post more pics! LOL

​​​​​​Thanks man. Hi beam is nice. I did hook up the solenoid and ran a splitter cable to run both on hi beam 👌. During the day I'm just running the amber for running lights.

Wow that looks awesome, about to attempt the same thing myself, how did you attach the projectors? Did you just use the threaded collars? No glue? How sturdy are they?

Thanks a lot. I threaded and nut and bolted them in place. Super sturdy no problems with them being knocked out of alignment.
