109538, FS: Incomplete HID Retrofit
Posted by EclipseTenzoR, Jan-22-08 01:25 PM
I have a project that I never finised and basically putting it up to see who wants it. I bought black projector headlights off ebay, same type that azdave has if you have ever seen his setup, and I bought TSX projectors that I was going to retro-fit into the headlights. This would have been an awesome project to finish but I no longer own my Eclipse so they have been sitting for quite some time. I spent over $200 in parts between the headlights and the projectors. I would like to get $150 shipped for everything. All that has to be done basically is mounting the projectors into the headlight using a little bit of engineering and seal them back up then you are golden. Price is pretty firm but I will entertain an respectable offer. Please no low balling.

Can't use ebay on work computers to link you to the headlights I have but I was able to search and find the same style headlights from an old post. Originally bought these to mimic azdave's project which in my honest opinon looks amazing.

So the TSX projector part of this is the lens? Why is that, because the ebay projector lenses are low quality?

I already have bulbs and ballast, I'm wondering how much engineering is left to make it work with what you have.

yes you want to replace the whole projector housing (lens, cage, reflector etc) with one that was designed for HID use. HID and Halogen have different focal points so even if the HID bulb was put in the same spot as the origional it would still have hotspots and a poor cutoff. the lenses themself make or break a setup, as they determine the colorshift (rainbowing effect) and clarity of the beam itself.

Hey yea, I miss this place! I think maybe in another year or so I may pick up another 2gnt since they are going for less these days obviouslly. As far as my s2k well I do alot of driving and last February I was driving down from New Jersey back to my base and I spun the car out of control, was only going about 30mph but the car obviouslly sucks in snow. Didn't crash it but gave me a good scare with a 720 in the middle of the highway and into the grass median. Now I just do the luxury deal for the long drives.

Bulbs, and Balasts are not included. This sale is only for the ebay projector headlights and the TSX projectors. The bulb holder of course is included it's built into the TSX bowl.
