Fx Projector Retrofit on tca4's car
Hi.. I'm new here.. Just posting some pics on a retrofit I did for a member of this board (tca4).
Projectors: Infinity FX35/45 bi-xenon (textured lens) Bulbs: Philips D2S 4300k (85211+) Ballasts/Igniters: resued from previous h4 hid kit (xetronic) I used Infinity FX35/45 bi-xenon projectors with some textured/fuzzy lenses. I was hoping to get some clear ones but this was what I got in the mail . I reused the ballasts and igniters from an existing pnp kit the owner had to save costs. In order to reuse the ballasts from the pnp kit, a pair of amp-d2s adaptors were required. I also made a harness to activate the high beam solonoids as well as to keep the ballasts from turning off when the high beam is engaged. The shrouds are made from 4"-2" pipe reducers I found at Rona. I didn't get a chance to take any nice beam shots so maybe tca4 can post some in the future. Here are the pics! Before After Was aimed kind of low when I took this pic. I reaimed them for tca4 later on. Lens/Cover taken off Made opening larger to fit the projector in M4 stainless screws that directly replaces the existing short ones that hold the bowl to the rest of the projector. These were the longest I could find (7cm) Test fit Comparison - left 4300k d2s in fx projector, right 6000k? h4 pnp Shrouds were cut, sanded(left), and polished(right) |

Thanks! It's not too hard to do but it sure takes a lot of time. This is my first time working on a yaris as well. The shrouds took a long time to do because the only tools I used to trim them was a hack saw and a file. Sanding the chrome off of the reflector was also really difficult due to all the curves and bumps. I'm just glad that everything worked out at the end.

The owner already had the ballasts and igniter so the price I've listed includes only the projectors, bulbs, wiring adaptor, custom wiring harness, and paint.
