Finally I decide to take original headlights a part and install Bi-Xenon projectors from Infinity FX. It took me about 4 days to do both headlights. I couldn't find original shroud so I just made my own face plate and painted metallic black. I am still waiting on new wire harness that will let me use Hi and Low beam. The light output is amazing compare to stock headlights, the beam is very wide and lights up the road in front of the car evenly. You can look at some pic I took at my Retrofit page. I'll take some more pictures after i'll install new harness and properly alight the projectors.

 

nice man, good work.

can you do a writeup?

 

Nice nice!!!!

 

VERY cool..I must say, that's a nice bumper.

 

Thanks guys, I am very busy and not sure if I'll be able to do a write up, but I'll try, it would be in the same link as above.

 

Those Bi-Xenon projector lights are bright as hell! When factory installed they are focused and placed in precise angles and directions to avoid blinding on coming traffic.

 

How does it feel to be the SECOND person to do a retro on a 4runner
Looks Nice. I thoguht you were going to put the q45 lights in there?

Hey,
It feels great! I tried to fit Q45 but they were just way to big and i didn't feel like creating custom housing, plus it's nice to have hi/low beam.

 

I need to do something like that for my '99 Civic...Is it hard to retrofit a projector into the housing?

 

I would recommend Acura TSX Projectors, 2004 or 2005, they are compact and have a great beam pattern, closest to an S2000 but a lot more user friendly to retrofit. You shouldnt have any problems using them. Check out http://www.hidretro.com/navigation.htm and check the galleries, someone may have had that done already and you can see install pics. I used them in my 2003 4Runner, you can check out my post at T4R.org here:

Looks awesome. I just did a rebased HID with a shield on the bottom portion into my 4runner. I get a good cutoff like, but i can't get that nice projection, plus the light output is soso.

 

Looks great! This is somehting I would love to do but dont have teh time, expertise, or money to do. The one on the 4th gen looks like it came like that factory. Nice work!

 

i saw Pauls truck the other day and his new lights look really good. Nice work by him, the cutting and the wiring. These lights are such an improvement.

 

yup, gonna need a write up. why does there need to be a black baffle? it looks like 98whtlmtd's retro doesn't have those. not a chriticism, just curious.

 

oh, and, did i mention a write up?

 

a friend of mine around here has HIDs on his runner. definitely an improvement.

 

fustercluck, the "baffle" is used to block any stray light coming from the hid projector. Without it, the light will leak from the projector, hit the reflector lense, and cause unwanted glare. I think it was very creative how Bratik came accross this problem.

Gene.

 

Gene is absolutely correct. In addition to this I had to create a plate that would cover the projector for much cleaner look. Infinity headlights have one piece plate that covers projector, corner light and there is not really any way to cut out just the part that goes around projector. So I made a custom plate to cover all the bolts that holds my projector. I had to paint in some color, I picked Metallic black, I think it looks good, kind of like new Maxima black headlights. I am still trying to find a bezel that would go around projectors but the problem is the FX projectors are 2 7/8 and aftermarket Bezel that some company sells are only 2 1/2. So if some one knows where I can find something like this with a hole of 2 7/8, Please let me know.

 

you should do angel eyes around them mmmmmmmmmmmm im gonna do it when i do this mod

 

I am not a big fan of that too racy, especially that they should only go on bmw, just my opinion
