Official Headlight/Retrofit Thread

[rodgertherabit]

Most people use PVC reducer bushings (plumbing from the hardware store) but since you already have yours mounted Id suggest looking at actual shroud options.

Take a look here, I can set you up at a discounted price

[DEEMAN]

that would have been great but i'm in south africa by the time they get here and all the shipping is included might as well have bought complete headlights from china or something...i will go to the hardware store and check it out

[rodgertherabit]

Yeah. Or just got complete retrofits

Props for trying tho. Use some creativity to cover them up

My Finest Work Yet! Complete!!!

[DEEMAN]

LOOKING GOOD!!!! when i started moding these lights i had no idea what to do or what was available...i just knew i had these projectors and that i wanted to put them in my car, i didnt know about the morimoto design or anything if i did i would have ordered some online and just installed them, they were, i think the equivalent of $65 that would have lokked great and worked great, but anyhoo...i started polishing the lenses last night....just some 1200 grit and then some metal polish on my dremmel buffer[IMG][/IMG]

TDI Fitment: New GLI style housings with FXR V3 Bixenons, OEM Bulbs, Iris Shrouds, 50w Ballasts, and OEM fogs.




A little trimming keeps everything in tact and discrete!

I call ninja on that wire hide job. When it's warm out I'll figure that out.

[rodgertherabit]

Its not too hard. Relay box is tucked in the fender and the wires are run around the Radiator support thru the headlight plastic covers and under the rad support aboxe the fans.

Those jetta ones are beautiful

[Shameless]

I didn't mount anything yet. haha

[DEEMAN]

man i gotta take some notes on the wire job...got that happening in the near future i am going to have 2 sets of ballasts to hide...but anyhow....just a quick update...had to get creative to cover up the lights, as four hours in town going to all the hardware shops getting many weird looks when asked what i am looking for i finally found something i could probably wangle in there....i bought these

and thene with some time and my lovely little dremmel i turned them into this

[IMG][/IMG]

so yeah now just have to steel putty them in there and paint them matblack and hopefully it doesnt look too shitty

[Shameless]

Try and find a perfect circle ring to put between the projector and the shroud. Next to the light is the most important part to be perfectly round.
Something rubber or foam so you don't damage that glass with the metal.

They have potential.

[Miller7204]

This needs to be updated Maybe I'll allow some MK3 content too.

[DEEMAN]

Here's the latest for this week.

Dual GTI retrofit. These are becoming quite popular haha



And some OEM MKIV HIDs converted to BIxenons and Iris shrouds


And for you Sir Miller! Some Cleaned up MK3 Halos also converted to Bixenons with my own special touch! Filled in the mounting holes on the lowbeam side and repainted everything.
