Bi-Xenon HID non flipup retro

[turboguy327]

Let me know what you guys think about not having flush headlights without the flip ups. They are far from finished but I am playing with different brackets to hold the projectors. Its aimed way off as well but just seeing how it looks. They are 2006 Acura TL Bi-xenon projectors with philips 4300k OEM bulbs and OEM denso ballasts. I still need to figure out some way to mold a plastic cover over them after they are mounted. But I want to get them mounted up first. I have a couple ideas on that though. Ideas?? Suggestions?? Opinions?? I am new here but I hope you guys like what you see.

Look how you have them aimed......:nono:
(hint red is correct)

I know. I just have them like that to see how they will look. I have done many retrofits. I know they are aimed crazy high. I have a lot of work to do to the mounting brackets. Like I said in my first post. I need to cut a hole in the bracket to the projector can tip lower in the front. Then make a bottom bracket to hold the weight of the projector. Just wanted some thoughts on the look and see what everyone thought.

Pretty fugly and not worth the trouble IMO.

But if you like it, I say go for it. It can only look better when it's finished. If you have the time and the patience, then do it.

The back of the projector is hitting the bracket preventing it from sitting correctly. I need to trim the bracket a little bit so it can sit right. Just getting opinions from what I have right now.

keep going man, finish is up....

Not crazy about the idea of the flush mount fit for MKIII. I think the flip-up gives the car a nice definition.

I've been looking into fitting my car with HID retrofit. The main thing is you will need to cut the cross brace behind the headlight assembly.

Check out how this guy did it with his Nissan.

Too funny

Fixed headlights on the MKIII don't fit the style, in my opinion. Good choice of projectors, though.

You'd be better w/ a set of fx35's in cheap housings. (The TL's won't fit- too big)

Im not planning on cutting anything. They will be sticking up over the hood. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/91-9...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2556cfac8d

They are going to end up something like this. Yea. I know the TL's are huge but they have been sitting on my shelf for awhile and I figured I would put them to use. I thought about trading someone for FX's or TSX but I couldnt find anyone. I dont want to spend a ton of money on this so I am just gonna use what I have.

that nsx is ugly with them lights not a big fan of any flush mount or any other kinda light like that on a supra

I'd put the HIDs in the fog lights, then you wont need to open the headlights

Too low to work or be legal.

 

[turboguy327]

They arent to low to be legal. I changed to a FX-R projector and have some pics. Didnt turn out as good as I wanted it to so now I am going to go with 4 Hella HID modules. Hopefully getting all the parts in by mid next week and hopefully done building them by begining on february. The headlights will still be stationary but be flipped up. They will look like they stopped opening about halfway. Maybe a touch less than that.
