HOW TO : Projectors / HID retrofit - 6G Celicas Forums
>
Can a few more people post up the parts they used, maybe even some part numbers or year/ make/ and model of the donor projectors, ballast, etc. I think that would be extremely helpful. I am currently trying to determine what parts I should buy to do the retrofit and there are a million different types of the above mentioned parts. Maybe the current people trying to do the retrofit can benefit from the ones who have previously installed them and maybe avoid some mistakes.
Great write up!!

here's the breakdown of the cost for my retrofit.
bi-xenon FX35 projectors $75 shipped e-bay
X2 denso/toyota ballast with D2S bulbs (used) $160 shipped ebay
clear lens X4 (lows and highs) $85 (Rayme is local to me, no s/h price)
screws, nuts, silicone and misc hardware ~$10
time to complete 6-7hrs
Total : $330 (cnd)

Agreed,
I know that a ton of us want to have projectors, and projectors with HIDs in them would just be stupendous.
If you look at just about any car nowadays you'll find projectors. When I get a chance I'll go to a local scrap yard and see if I can find some for fairly cheap and try a retrofit (though without HID's for the time being).
The process seems simple, take it apart, shove in the giant lens, cover up your wiring, make sure it's "water resistant."
We shall see.

Live your life for yourself. Don't hold back for anything or anyone.
Rayme, any easy and safe method to get the lens defrosted?

on HID planet forums there always guys selling halogen projectors for CHEAP from subarus.

There are glass grinding and polishing attachments for the Dremel - that's how I plan on doing mine. We'll see how that goes though; I'm nervous. 
This thread is dead. The links don't work anymore. So much dust and full of cobwebs in here....

yeah, thread is dead but there are plenty of other retrofit threads that were made too. Were you looking for more info on how to do that?
It's basically the same as the LHD projector mod since you have to open it up and take apart the projector.
