Ok, i know that there are plenty of different headlight threads, all kinds of information about bulbs and housings and the like. i have been having some problems with mine burning out way faster than i think that they should. i had a 94 ranger and used the same brand of bulbs for years with out them burning out, but in my subaru i have gone through them alot faster. Before somone blames the always on running lights i always ran my ranger with them on.
since one of them has burned out that housing has filled with quite a bit of condensation. could that be the reason i am having problems?
Second pic is as it is now with the projector and HID (5500) in the fogs.
Third is the light on the back of my tool box. You can see the line the fogs make below the wideband of the projectors. The HID in the fogs actually light up the road from directly in front of the car and spread the light out but not like high beams. There is some upward reflection, not bright though.
I have been intending to. Just for something odd and different. With all the transmission issues and now the early CAT failure and heavy business at the shop it's on hold. I'll post it up when I get to it. I need to pull a fog and measure its total dept so I can get a projector that will fit best. Unless someone has one apart, or broken already. Hint.
I'm hoping to paint the whole "gold"bottom half black, and black out the fogs, and headlights once i get projectors in them. I was hoping Some one else had the same idea
I probably have 4-5 hours into the retrofit, and then another hour into sanding and polishing the outer lens. The process is much more involved than the Mini H1. The second one should go much faster now that I have my prototype complete.
If you want projectors, you don't want to go real cheap. You can end up worse than you started. I got all of my retrofit parts from http://www.theretrofitsource.com. They have some great equipment and are extremely helpful.
