Im the dude that finished 97% of these headlights
weap0n did actually contribute the remaining 3%. The HLs were sent to him with the RHS left unsealed.

Why?
Coz the front lense was scratched pretty badly. After a little tutorial that I sent Davo, he was able to open up the RHS of his halogen HL and transplant it onto his new modified MR HLs. It looks like he did a great job

And yes, the 2nd projectors are purely cosmetic.
Why?
Coz there is no room to fit a WHOLE projector in the DRL housing. I could have installed the projector forward to give more room but then I would have needed to fabricate a whole new shroud from scratch. I wouldnt have been able to guarantee perfect symmetry. The shrouds that I did end up using were from S2K (AP2) headlights. These are pretty rare and did the job nicely.

Lighting:
If you ever decide to paint your HLs black then make sure you go to the trouble of upgrading your lighting as well.
Swap out the crappy OEM freshnel lens for a ZKW-R (R = replica) lens. It'll change your beam pattern from blurry yellow to sharp blue. Looks so much more sexier!!!

This is how to do it

those headlights are sweet!

 

Very nice looking! Had you looked into S2K or TSX projectors lenses? From what I've seen they provide crisper light output and a sharper cutoff.

Regardless, that looks a lot better than a stock X! Great work!

 

Where is a good place to order these ZKW-R lenses?

 

S2K & TSX are not a consideration coz they both 2.5". CZ projectors need 3"


Watch the start of the video I linked. There's your answer.

 

NORTHERN TERRITORY REPRESENT - EVO STEVO did a great job!

 

Ah, figured there was a reason. I know there is someone on here that retrofits projectors. He also uses an Infiniti FX projector, but cleans up the "fogginess" that lense has. I assumed the retrofit would also work here.

 

You could still be talking about me? Ive got another old thread in the CT9A Show & Shine section.
Im retrofitting FX35s into the low beam housing & S2K into the high beam housing. Quad headlights FTW!!

 

Had these for a few day's now. Performing perfect. Night driving viability has improved by so much, I feel like I'm driving a different car.

They have totally changed the look of the front end.

Thanks again mate.

 

We shoulda fitted these onto your bad bay to see what it looked like on SILVER



Still getting the stares davo? How do the boys at work like it?
If we had of fitted FX35 projectors you really would have really jizzed in your pants

 

I think there is someone that does this as a business on here. Unfortunately the IX housing doesn't hold the FX without major modification, as far as I know.

 

Showed they guys at work today, it was my first day back. Everyone was like "wow man, they look incredible"

What is all this about FX35 projector's? More jizz? I need it...

Extracted from my thread:

If the projector is trimmed to bare minimum, it will fit. I have grown wiser since fitting these. If I could it again, id do it differently and smarter
In a sense I will coz I still have to do the LHS.


Ill send you a PM on EvoOZ

 

are you going to make them for other people?

like me

if not can you put up a bit of a howto?

hallies really suck

 

Talk to you on EvoOz
