LED Headlight Retrofit

[Mike1087]

Thought some might be interested in retrofitting their halogen headlights and wanted to share my experiences. This was not my first retrofit, probably my 5th or 6th time. Apologies in advance for the lack of pics, only decided after to post about it!

Parts:
(everything I used is from Retrofit Source)

• Motocontrol Bi-Xenon: H13/9008 Relay Wire Harness
• Bi-LED: Morimoto M LED Projectors
• Iris Shrouds
• Morimoto Retrorubber Butyl Glue

Issues:

• I could not for the life of me get the glue holding the lens on to loosen up so I gave up and decided to chop the housing in half
• The H13 bulb plug is inside the outer housing, you can either get adaptors, wire your own or I ended up removing it from the housing and rerouting it
• The Iris shrouds are not deep enough, I had these laying around so maybe in the future I will open them back up and use deeper shrouds. They cover enough of the projector though that Im ok with them for now

The LED Projectors are much easier to work with than the HID projectors, all I had to do was open the reflector hole for the projector shaft to fit and install the locking nut and its set in place. These were a breeze to do compared to some of my others. I havnt gotten any pics at night or aligned them yet but will update with night shots when I have them.

Those look great... I never thought about retro fitting leds for my headlights.

I just bought replacements. I'll look into this now

If you decide to get the same projectors be aware they project this lame "m" in front of the car. I didn't realize until I installed them. I cracked them back open to block off the "m" and now I'm happy!

Here's where the m is.
