Another DIY HID projector headlight. Caution-modem burner

[rmpmla]

Just finished installing HID projectors on a Mazda MPV. I know that this was done here already long time ago and would like to share for those who are still interested on DIY Delica projector lens or other surplus lenses.
Why Delica? kasi malaki po yung projector nya, daming pagkukunan, at mura lang - P1,800/pair.


instead na i-cut ko yung case, binuksan ko yung glass cover nya using china made hair dryer ( P100 lang sa carriedo). Besides, you need to practice since you'll be opening your original headlight. In fairness ok yung hair dryer pangbukas ng cover at hindi ko gagamitin ito sa hair ko




eto na siya after removing the glass cover

next is to take out the projector

take note that you need an H3 HID bulb to fit on the projector


and you need to reverse the cut-off since this is designed for RHD car.


para ma-reverse yung cut-off, make a pattern of the cut-off from a paper then use this to cut thin sheet metal or aluminum (pwede na aluminum can). then file off the existing cut off until maging isang straight line na lang ito. now, pwede nyo na epoxy yung fabricated sheet.

Next is to mount the projector inside the MPV headlight. Opening the MPV HL is same as opening the Delica HL.

The problem with the projector is that it won't fit inside the MPV HL due to its adjusting screws. Need to cut it off para mag-fit.





To retain adjustment for alignment, gumawa ako ng slotted right angled flat bar ( ito yung nabibili sa hardware na right angle flat bar then dagdag na lang butas para maging slot )

Since the projector is for low beam, I would lost my high beam as the MPV uses H4 bulb.

initially,this is my plan

i also made a shroud using the delica parts



with backlit blue LED

next was to make the plastic HL cover into clear. Wala kasi lumabas na clear nito kaya no choice but to sand it off. this is the hard part pero kung clear na yung mga cover nyo much better.



then i changed my mind about the shroud when i found a blue CFL for only P400/pair.



First test. it is important that you finalized the horizontal alignment/cutoff adjustment bago i-mount yung headlight plastic cover. Also, please note that with this set up, the existing adjustments of the orig MPV can still be used.

hmmm.. papano yung magiging output ng hi beam?

wala kasi sa gitna yung bulb eh. at wala rin reflector.

my purpose for the Hi beam was just for flashing. but this I have removed and used a bull bar mounted fog lamp as my hi beam.

Sir, nabili ko yung 55w HID D2S kit sa ebay. less than P2,000 . Made in China nga lang. Bumili na lang ako ng another set of HID kit as back up.

Meron naka-post sa ebay for P1,5++. with free shipping. Auto Pro New Xenon HID DC Kit Slim Ballast D2S D2R D2C 3000K 55W 12V | eBay

Matagal nga lang ang shipping time between 30 ~ 45 days. Wala naman hassle sa post office kasi below $50 lang yung item

Next DIY I will make is for a 2010 Ford Escape.
Quad set up using China made copy of Hella and Q5 projectors.
These are bolt on projectors intended for H4/H7 equipped headlights. Problema ko na lang ay kung paano i-fit sa 9005/9006 headlights. As much as possible eh ayoko sirain yung orig headlights ng escape.

I hope my friend can hand carry the parts by end of this month. Here's the sample pics.

will update this thread once maumpisahan ko na.
