i still dont have the balls to cut up my headlights and possibly **** up a new set of projectors. someone needs to start a company retrofitting them.
seats" because they can't spend the money to buy the safe and helpful ones. If you don't have the money to do an upgrade right (and in a safe way), you shouldn't do it at all.
They're street legal here and I've had no complaints for the last six months I've been using them. The light output is arguably better than stock and I have my lights aimed so that nobody gets blinded. I tested them with friends at varying distances and driving heights to be sure of it.
I am pretty sure they are illegal everywhere unless if they come that way from the factory.

This is actually making me contemplate about doing another set for my car. My reflector bowl has a few tabs that broke due to me hitting a nassssty pothole. So the cut offs are all jacked up.
Wow, excellent writeup! Very detailed.
Might have to try that this summer if I get some free time. The extra width on those HID's would be very beneficial in spotting deer on the side of the road.
Great write-up. I have a serious question for you, though.
1) Would you ever consider making a set of these for me? I can do the wiring and everything myself, but I wanted to know if you could retrofit a set for me.
2) How much for everything, if you could do it?![]()
IF he does expect to pay over 1k

Oh and CougarStang, TRS also responded to an email I sent them about the shaking, they are currently working on a much smaller projector that keeps the 2.5"lens thats gonna be lighter and the bowl is supposed to be highly polished.
I am debating that option and the possibility of keeping these g35's to be swapped over to a new reflector. I have been calling a few body shops though to see if they would glass the mounting area for me.
While cleaning my garage today, I almost threw away my old headlights, but decided to keep them. They are 2000 OEMs, but really fogged up. Im considering using those to do this project, but I have a couple questions.
If I reused my stock headlights, I would want to smoke them to cover up the paint inside the lenses (yes there is paint, not just condensation.) Would the retrofit still have a noticable difference with a layer or two of VHT?
That doesn't surprise me. Matt's always working on something cool. It's tough to give up the output of the FXs though. This is true with the morimotos, as the output is great, but just a hair lower than that of the FX projectors. Hopefully these new lighter ones will perform up to par with the FXs and also use OEM bulbs.
super nice guide! even better with a fat tire. but fat tire doesn't go this far east.it doesn't get to PA. maybe someday
what kit did you get from theretrofitsource? i'm already confused just looking at all the possibilities of a kit. haha
i bought the FX-R Bi-xenon Stage 3 Kit from TRS about a month ago.

Hey guys I found this post which is the holy grail at the moment for the retrofit I want to start soon...
I was just curious about the use of the reflector bowl. is it possible to paint it all black or not use it at all? I guess I'm comparing the look of yours to another one. That was done by lightwerks. It looks as though the bown has been removed.

I have a 2001 Cobra and will be starting the job soon. Also I've heard the knockoff headlight housings actually work better than the OEM ones. Any truth to that you think?
