Projector Headlights - how is it better

[rion]

may nakita na ako CRV Gen1. hindi lang pantay sa aiming. yung isa, sobra sa taas, yung isa, kulang sa taas.

may salpak projector bixenon retrofit, but maliit, and I haven't seen the throw personaly.







North Custom is selling them * 14k + installation. but nakita ko ito sa Ebay US or PH * around 7K


*SQ:

wala bang pair si C3? Bixenon? ano ba dimensions? puwede post pics?

[testament11]

parang hindi siya ganun kaganda. parang hindi pulido ang gawa...

[rion]

I'm more concern if the surface will peel off and the motor's durability on extreme heats...

[testament11]

sq, nasan na ang pics ng trooper mo with your new projectors?

sir xenonoptics, if i am correct, your kit is the bolt-on or plug n play type na projectors. may i know, does your kit uses d2s hid bulbs?

ako kasi, may retrofitting project ako. i'll be using a bi-xenon projector. this is the type of projector i'll be using. this comes from an infinity fx-35/45, or called the fx-r projectors. here is the picture:



this one uses d2s hid bulbs and not the common h4 bulbs. like what sir xenonoptics said, this has a hi-lo and is controlled by a solenoid that makes the hi-lo of the headlamps.

Medyo hassle retrofit (based from experience)... and costly at that. Had a set of TSX projectors before on my Nissan Sentra N16 and it was a pain to maintain (alignment, reinstallation tuwing nahuhulog, wiring, etc). Anyways, if you're going ahead with that I'd suggest you also look for a carbon fitter or a latero to give you a good custom headlight assembly.

Best recommendation for those who want to install projectors on their headlights is to use what xenonoptics recommends - plug and play projectors. Hindi kayo magagaya saken na kinailangan pang bumili ng bagong headlight assembly if in case bumigay na yung luma niyo sa kakatanggal kabit everytime na nalalaglag yung projector sa sobrang lubak or what.

Here are your options:

Retrofit TSX Projector Kit - 25K includes ballast, bulb, motor for HI function, and wiring
Labor Installation - 2.5K NOTE: Bubutasin ang reflectors ng headlights niyo nito... unless
Custom Headlight Assembly - 20K kay A-Toy
Total: 47.5K kung custom headlight assy. (para solved ka sa issue na nalalag pag lubak or what), and 27.5K kung retrofit talaga sa stock. Di pa kasama yung added costs pag nalalaglag yung projector. Not sure pero baka yung sa grupotoyota kaya naman iinstall sa stock ng di malalaglag kahit anong lubak pa daanan.

May mas mura ring projector kits, 15.5K kay Nighthawk Tim ng HID Retrofitter Club of the Phillipines. 18K kung kasama yung shrouds na kagaya ng sa Merc E-Class (installed on mine before).

Kung ayaw niyo ng abala pag nalalaglag or sobrang mahal nun, eto para may option kayo gaya ko (hehe na namulubi after magtiyaga kakaayos ng retrofitted na projectors):
Gayahin niyo yung kay xenonoptics, pero kayo bibili mismo ng piyesa. More or less one week din antayan at pupunta kayo sa PhilPost sa Domestic Rd. sa Paranaque para i-claim gawa ng babayad pa kayo ng tax dun. Eto computations:

5.5K - plug and play projectors with angel eyes and motor for HI function, bulb and wires included as well
1.5K - installation sa suki kong si Abay sa Evangelista
2K - one pair of ballast from a tsikot seller here
2K - import tax

Total: 11K. Save pa kayo sa hassle na baka mahulog or what kasi nakahouse yung projector dun din talaga kung saan nakahouse yung stock niyong bulb.

Kung nacheck niyo sa thread ko sa Me and My Tsikot, eto itsura ng retrofitted projectors ko before:

-ugly alignment (di lang kasi up/down left/right aayusin mo sa alignment, ultimo rotation ng lens kailangan ayos. Kada mali mo sa alignment butas na naman.)

-with Merc E-Class imitation shrouds

Then eto na yung plug and play:





Sorry at madumi sasakyan, kakabit lang kasi din ng plug and play ko nung Monday, di ko pa nakukuhanan gaano. Word of advice lang naman - malaki rin gagastusin talaga if you don't choose carefully. Retrofit significantly has better light cut-offs (kita mo talaga yung blue na hue sa outline ng beam at mas bright talaga ang output), but the cost of fitting it on is risky and costly. Using the plug and play, iwas ka sa pagbutas and you can always go back to stock (if ibebenta mo sasakyan mo at gusto mo ikabit sa bago mong sasakyan yung projector, pwede), madali i-align (stock alignment screws din gagamitin kasi), pero so-so ang cut-off.

So yun, in the end it's always your call.

bro br_14, actually eh hindi naman ako ang gagawa. si Nighthawk Tim ang gagawa ng retrofitting ng pajero ko. nasa kanya na yun headlamps ko na binili ko sa banawe last week at 3.6k per pair. also, Nighthawk Tim is a very very close friend of mine, classmate ko since high school. matagal na kasi niya sa kin sinasabi na gusto niya i-retrofit ang pajero ko at ngayon nga, natuloy na din ang project niya. actually, project namin pareho eto. dapat nga matagal na namin eto ginawa kasi noon pa namin eto pinaguusapan, as early as may last year. so yun nga, tama ka, costly ang retrofitting pero it is worth the investment naman bro.

OT: nabanggit ka niya pala sa akin nung nagusap kami about retrofitting

[rion]

Sir xenonoptics, iisa lang ba kayo ni North Customs? parang pic kasi niya yan eh.


*batang_raon14: I just love the way you install your lights. DIY at mura pa.

5.5K - plug and play projector, saan mo bili? may nakita din akong plug and play + hid sa ebay at 6-7k. may budget ako nyan but hintay pa ako bro punta sa states. peru baka next year pa. huhuhu....

[testament11]

oo nga pala bro br_14, bakit ang mahal naman ng customized headlamps mo? eh madami sa banawe na replacement headlamps...

[s_quilicot]

may hi beam po yung projector kit. pag nag high beam wala na yung cut off may mechanism sa loob na gumagalaw

Meron? amp magkano po yan sir? dapat yan nalang pala binili ko.

Wow! You're in good hands pala Sir. ;)

OT din: Have you checked out his Corolla Big Body's tail light? Love his LED project.

I think iisa lang sila Sir. hehe... pati price kasi pareho.

Sayang yung heat gun pag di nag-DIY. hehe.. Yung 5.5K sa Shanghai, China ko nabili. Kasama customs taxes umabot lang ako ng 7.5K total (depende kasi sa customs kung magkano appraisal value nila e, pero saken 40USD lang inassess kahit 100USD nakalagay sa declared value - and yup wala pong lagay to, talagang mababa nila inassess ng wala akong sinasabi). Sa manufacturer 'to mismo, pati head units na pangkotse ng mga pinsan ko dito ko na binili. hehehehe

Tapos ballast 2K at kay Abay kabit 1K, solve ka na. =) Di lang gwaping ang naka-projector, kagalang-galang pa kasi di ka nakakabulag.

Musta nga po pala Sir yung retrofit niyo ng Delica projector sa fogs?

[batang_raon14]

oo nga pala bro br_14, bakit ang mahal naman ng customized headlamps mo? eh madami sa banawe na replacement headlamps...

I based it on a very old post here by the first projector retrofitter here in tsikot (cant remember his name actually sa tagal). Took off the projectors from a Delica and used a pre-cut coke in can to make the cut-off. Then nagpagawa siya ng custom headlight assy. kay A-Toy. White Mazda 323 if I recall correctly.

Price was 9800 per piece, so round off ko na lang isang pair to 20K given na patagal ng patagal eh pamahal at pamahal din naman labor. :D

Meron? amp magkano po yan sir? dapat yan nalang pala binili ko.

Check my earlier post bro. Although you may have to change your headlight assy. of your Trooper to clear-type ones (yung reflector kasi ata ng headlight ng trooper nasa glass mismo e). HTH
