headlight projector conversion - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #95634 3 posts Started by DH593
Hello!!
first time posting here still pretty new at it.
i had seen a video where someone got his headlight and retrofitted a projector lens into it.it seemed preatty easy.
I love the kouki projector lens as much as the next guy on this sitebut I am not financially stable enough to buy them for my car biggrin.gif

this on the other hand sounds like a cheaper alternative.
has anyone done something like that before for their headlights?| or is it even possible for the type of headlights the 6gc has.?

Cost of A projector retrofit:
Clear lenses - $100
Projectors + shroud - $100-120
Supplies to reseal - $20
HID kit - $40-100
Wiring harness conversion - $10-20
Time 12+ hours

$270-$360

Cost of JDM projectors converted to LHD:
Low beams - $250
High beams - $150 (optional)
Supplies to reseal - $20
HID kit -$40-100
Wiring harness conversion - $10-20
Time - 2 hours

$320(470)-$390(540)

Aiming your headlights with a projector retrofit is enough to steer any diyer Away. The cost is pretty similar, but if you just buy JDM projector low beams without the high beams, it's pretty affordable.
