I know there is a forum member who sells pre assembled kits but it was cost prohibitive for me. I decided to tackle the project myself. Honestly not too difficult but does take a willingness to modify a few things.
Everything was purchased on amazon for about $200 and then another $50 or so in supplies to wire up the lights.
Projectors use an H1 HID bulb. Power to the bulbs is supplied direct from the battery. I made a wiring harness similar to something you’d use for aftermarket fog/spot lights (with relay and 20amp fuse). Low beam turns off and on with the key but I also wired the lights to a switch in case I need to turn the lights off completely.
I mounted the Projectors in the new headlight assemble using 4 nuts and bolts. I found the bolts held the projector very secure and also helped with alignment. A dab of epoxy on the nuts helps keep everything in place. I needed to drill out the rear of the headlight assemble with a 3/4” bit to make room for the H1 bulb.
To soften the black gooey stuff holding the lens to the headlight assembly, I put the lights in the oven at 225 for 10 minutes. Once I had the slightly lifted from the assembly, I let the gooey stuff cool a bit. Once slightly cooled, you can use a small pair of scissors to cut the goo. Much easier this way than pulling the entire thing apart and have black stringy goo all over the headlight.
That’s pretty much it. I’m sure our resident HID conversion expert could add so much more than what I wrote.
I’ve been on the fence with this conversion for the longest time. Honestly, it is night and day difference. I used the cheapest projector I could buy and it is still light years better than stock. If you like DIY projects, this is a fun one!
