2K1 CCS RETROFIT w/ 'FX-R' 50W-DDM DL50 R8-LED
« on: 02 October 2009, 22:51:11 »
This is the finished result of my final headlight retrofit...

The headlight contains a BiXenon FX-R Projector purchased from TheRetrofitSource, as well as the LEDs and the BiXenon stickers...

The outer shroud was painted flat black and the LEDs were mounted along the outline of it, the path I chose made the most sense as the LEDs were not long enough to go besides the turn signal area...

Here are some of the final pictures.

The lights will need some adjustment in the future but for now they are good enough.

For more information on the build please visit one of the following sites.

Thanks all, it was a full day of work and it seems that I may have to reopen them and readjust the beams...

Otherwise I keep staring at it and the more I stared at it the more it reminded me of IronMan... and so the following picture... not a good comparison but hey...

Very very nice and much smarter looking than the new Audi led setup.

I plan on going out tonight and shooting some videos of the light output but I must say these projectors are superior to anything on the market today. 

I had some highly modified LEXUS RX units before and I thought those were bright and i cant believe how much difference the reflector bowl makes...

Same ballast, same bulb, but about twice as much brightness and the width can not be described in words...

It can light up 4-5 lanes on either side with equal intensity...

Found them on ebay as a Flexible LED strip (White) But you can pick your colors...
I think they make them in Hong Kong... and they are fairly inexpensive... few bux.

I got the 48cm strips, they sell 72cm and 96cm as well as I believe 30cm and 15cm and you can also cut them 3 LEDs at a time.

Sorry mate... every time I finish a project I think to myself... "ok thats the last of it!" then I see something cheap on ebay, and I go... Oh man that will look great on my car.. .and often thats how new projects get started...

You should know that I don't spend crazy amount of money on this car... everything is on budget...
