Those splitters are for dual beam applications that use one bulb for both low and high beam. Since your Silverado takes an H11 and a 9005 bulb, you do not need them.

I'm going to make a set using my old Volkswagen halogen headlights. I'll use a hole saw to get the perfect size hole for my new, cheap, LED projector. I'm just running LEDs in my halogen projector at the moment but the beam isn't perfect. You miss the peripheral views. I've got a light-bar on my roof basket to counter this issue on bendy back roads. It sucks having to turn it off every time oncoming traffic appears.

Great video! One question. Is it possible to convert a car's headlight that comes with H7 for low and H1 for highbeam to a Bi-Xenon using the Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0. Tons of people have told me to keep it separately as it comes from factory, using the hid projector for the low beam and keep H1 with a proper LED Bulb as the SV4 but I really want to have both low and high beam in one HID Bulb
@RetrofitSource 4 жыл бұрын
Yes you can do that. Most people do. Just tie your high beam wiring from the projector to your factory high beam wiring. At that point you can either install a LED bulb in the high beam, leave it stock or do something else. It’s totally up to you!

Hey, i have a question. I currently have a 2010 civic sedan with aftermarket headlights. They have h1 projector low beams and reflector high beams, but when i started my journey into upgrading my headlights for better performance, i didn't get the correct led bulbs that would focus well inside the housings. The ligh scatters and makes it very hard to see and im sure im blinding people as well. The mechanic i took it to was not very professional and just intalled them without calibrating anything or without helping me to choose the right bulbs. So what my question is, is would it be possible to replace the h1 projector lowbeam in my aftermarket headlights with a morimoto bi-led projector? Because i would like to take it to an actual professional to do such a thing, but if that's not possible then maybe i should try hid bulbs or a different led bulb.

retrofit is the way to go, I have seen many people just don't know better and just put an HID or LED bulb in their halogen reflector headlights and blinding everyone. Yes, it is bright but the light is scattered all of over the place, with a retrofit projector lenses you will have that beautiful sharp and bright intense cut off line which won't blind oncoming traffic. My brother's car is retrofitted with projector lenses and at one time in the intersection during red traffic light, he was driving. and next to him a guy with no retrofit just had a HID installed inside his reflector headlights...his headlights, light up the whole surface of the car in front him, while my brother's light was pointing to the right place with bright intense and sharp cut off line to the car in front of him. I feel sorry for the guy who drive in front of this clueless guy with HID on reflector based headlights lol. My brother even told me that guy with HID on reflector headlights , rolled down his window and asked my brother, why his headlight's beam pattern looks so much clean and had a cut off line while his HID just throws a bright blob to the car in front of him lol. My brother just smiled and winked to him and drove off, once the traffic light turned green. It really shows how clueless that guy was.

Can you buy headlight housings that already have projectors in them and you don't have to do all this work? Looking to get Nice headlights for my 01 3rd gen 4runner
@DaBrown101 2 жыл бұрын
Yes and no. Depends where you get these already built in projectors. The ones that are made for you car and that are cheap brand new for a pair for anywhere between $400-$800 are usually the fake projectors. Those will use the normal bulbs that come with your car and the projectors will be just as good as the normal headlights. Which really aren't real projectors. Now if you buy a housing headlight from a higher trim of your car, say like the ones that have leather seat and navigation and such usually have real projectors and you could find some from a junk yard and get this to "drop in". The other problem with those is that you would probably need the correct wiring to go with them which then you gotta worry about that as well... Sometimes. Sometimes they just plug in as the ballast is usually built into the headlight housing. For me, I wound rather do it this way, and have for 2 cars so far and it's a nice DIY to do. If you're into that stuff. Either way you will be doing some DIY with this. Unless you are lucky and find the headlight housing with built in ballast then it's basically plug and play

No, it's not retrofitting unless it comes with dedicated lens for that particular driver regardless of type.

@RetrofitSource 4 жыл бұрын
Like all modern OEM ballasts: the XB has relocated igniters far closer to the HID bulb. The lack of high voltage transmitted through wiring drastically reduces EMI/RFI (radio interference). Total system reliability is also improved by shielding the main circuit board from the static produced by these high voltage bursts on start up.

The stock size for the lens in the bike is 2.5”. While i was thinking of just changing the lens i thought of replacing the projectors because the left projector is the low beam and the right one is used as a high beam. I want to have both of them on for low and i saw that there is solenoid switches on these aftermarket projectors to turn them into high beam so i would have way more light for both low and high beam. My issue is that i see all these being hid lenses so would i have to get hid bulbs to run in these projectors?

Great stuff! Looking to get a projector set up on my 00' Saturn SL1. I know it will require some modification but can your tech support team help guide me in the right direction as far as sizing and ease of installation? I know that what I want doesn't exist and I will have to put in some effort, just want to make sure the process is as smooth as possible.

Problem I'm having with my jeep grand cherokee retrofit is since they were h11 bulbs I had the trim where the bulb went, so there's space in between the projector itself and the reflector housing hole so the high beam and low beam are not aligned.
@RetrofitSource 4 жыл бұрын
if you're talking about a gap between the projector and reflector once he fits the threaded shaft through the hole there is a rubber grommet in the projector box to allow better fitment against the reflector.
@DSVideos21 4 жыл бұрын
@@RetrofitSource I'm talking the gap between the threaded shaft and bulb hole that had to be sanded down to fit the projector. Theres a 1/8" space around the shaft that causes the projector to move around and not be center with the reflector which causes the projector to be level but the high beam shines up.

Could use some help: Have a 4-light system. Low/High. The lows turn off when highs go on. What I want is to stop the lows turning off when highs go on...with a caveat. For road use, I'm fine with standard low/high, but off-road I want ALL the lights, so I want a toggle. Can someone point me to a relay setup or a Tut? Perfectly ok with building a harness if needed.
@samuelseidel6148 4 жыл бұрын
MrAcuta73 add an extra switch to turn on either high beams or low beams and run that wire straight to the bulb connector

Your toggle would just have to energize your high beam, However you may want to use a diode to prevent backfeeding. A local aftermarket accessory shop could probably help you out!

What is that blue line effect that happens on projector retrofits?
@RetrofitSource 28 күн бұрын
The lens and the sharp edge of the cutoff shield cause light to bend and disperse, splitting into its constituent colors, similar to how a prism works. This phenomenon, known as chromatic aberration, occurs because different wavelengths (colors) of light bend by different amounts. Blue light bends more than red light, causing the blue hue to be visible at the top edge of the cutoff. While the blue line is primarily an optical artifact, it is often considered aesthetically pleasing and a sign of high-quality projector headlights.

It has to do with the internals of the projector and the headlight itself. The inside of the projector can reflect colors off of the inner chrome portion.

One thing I am still unclear on is, will the actual headlight lens affect anything, mine has a bunch of lines and patterns, not a clear lens, does that make a difference? Oh also, what about bi led projector retrofit seems newer tech again, would that work better in my old light?
@RetrofitSource 4 жыл бұрын
A bi-led projector will work for practically any vehicle. New or old. It really depends on how bad your lens is. If it's completely hazed over, that will certainly affect the light output. If it's just a few scratches here and there, it won't really affect it.
@bigdaddy741098 4 жыл бұрын
@@RetrofitSource I wasn't referring to scratches or a damaged lens, I eventually found out it's called a fluted lens, they are all the lines I was talking about, they help spread the light out. Will that still work with a led projector style? How close would I want the projector lens to get to the inside of my headlight lens?
@RetrofitSource 4 жыл бұрын
Ahh, I see. Since you have a fluted lens, that will affect the light output regardless of what you install. LED/HID projector or LED/HID kits. You'll still see a pretty major increase in light output, but not near as much as if you didn't have a fluted lens. While you can sand the fluting down, it's honestly very time consuming to do. I would recommend finding an aftermarket headlight that does not have fluting, and then installing your projector of choice in the new headlights. You'll have significantly better light output.
@bigdaddy741098 4 жыл бұрын
@@RetrofitSource unfortunately not sure that would work even if I found the same size because it's a specific shape, it's angled back to flow with the angle of the fairing so it's deeper at the bottom. And, the lens is glass, so I'm assuming sanding and polishering lol are also not an option. I guess all I can do is throw a bi led projector, halo and demon eye at it and see what happens. Do you know if I can order any of that in a single kit for single light?
