I still have a lot of work to do. Im in the process of making a .dxf program at work for a bracket to mount the projectors. There isn't enough room on the projectors to drill holes and put bolts through so the bracket will be attached where the two projector halves bolt together. The bracket will also have height and rotational adjustability for easy aiming. I'm hoping to have the bracket completed by monday. I'm still going to be running my 5000k bulbs and Denso ballasts. The complete inside of the headlights will be carbon fiber.

Speechless, can't wait to see how is come out, good job brian.

[Betrivent]

Just my opinion but the reflector bowl shouldn't be CF. There's just too much CF going on. If it was matte black and the lens trim CF then it would be cool. My two cents.

I think it will look bad a$& when it all comes together. Great job and good luck :)

[boyer]

will be waiting for end result..

I was thinking the same thing at first, but half of the bowl won't ever be seen because the projector and shroud will cover it. My headlights are satin black now so I wanted to do something completely different this time.

wow looks great
keep us posted

There's just too much CF going on.

That's not possible.

+1! That is going to look incredible when you get it done! Please update with more photos and an estimate of what you have invested.

[PETERPOOP]

and an estimate of what you have invested.

+1! That is going to look incredible when you get it done! Please update with more photos and an estimate of what you have invested.

Projectors + clear lens' - $370
Bulbs - $45
Pair of new headlights - $160
Ballasts (already have but new) - $165
Wiring harness - $30
Shrouds - $35
CF and supplies - about $100

A complete retrofit is not cheap and requires a lot of work.

Keep the pictures coming,this a great retro and having used the s2000 projectors in a few other builds I am curious to see how they fit in your build.....as for the CF.....that sir is gonna be really sweet when it is done.

[Brian]

Here is a trial set of brackets. I already know that they won't fit. The top slot will need to be moved up more and the bottom one down more. I'll use these to figure out the exact dimensons I need.

Update:

All of the cf work is done. I still might have to do some more trimming since these projectors are so big. Next step will be mounting/securing and aiming the projectors.

awesome stuff Brian

[Aarron_M]

Wow. That looks great so far :thumbsup:

[Brian]

Had another issue due to the size of the projector and shroud. The shroud was hitting the turn signal housing. I cut out the spot where the bulb attaches to the housing and moved it in a couple of inches. I also had to trim the turn signal housing and I'm in the process of rebuilding it so it's more compact.

Nice work! I admire your craftsmanship.

[big lo]

Take your time Brian, all will come into place bro

[redglare45]

Wow! It's coming along. Keep going Brian. :thumbsup:

[Brian]

Headlights are done. The cutoff is too low for me so I think I'm just gonna use these for show and do another retrofit.

looks nice

[gabecham]

Very nice

[skootdog]

That looks pretty sweet though, Nice look!

[Lil Abner]

Brian, those look awesome! When you say the cut-off is too low, I'm guessing the projectors are mounted with too much down angle, and you have no more adjustment left? If so, why not open them up, and angle them up further? They look too good to use only for show!

[redglare45]

Dang. They look pretty good. Like Abner said, I guess they won't adjust any higher....bummer :frown:

Correct, theses are not adjustable. Due to the size of the projectors there was almost no room to mount them. I want to keep these in good shape for shows so I would rather just use my Lexus RX-AFS or FX-R projectors. I have 2 more sets of headlights to mess around with and try some different things.

[Lil Abner]

Man Brian, you have a nice collection of projectors just sitting around!

[why?]

wow that looks amazing. You do great work.

[bzinn 1]

I always love it when I start a build and find I have to modify the mod.......nice idea moving the blinker over like that...looks great,that must of been a lot of time into it by now.

[big lo]

Awesome stuff as always Brian,
