Ordered new headlight housings for my LED Projector Project.
Not sure if they will work but I don't see any reason they won't !
I plan on using "Profile BI-LENS LED†for the Projectors and set up with a 9007 Harness for direct install, almost Plug and Play after the Projectors are Retrofitted.
The Projectors have cast aluminum housings and I can not find the Lumen Rating but I think it is around the 5500K to 6000K range.
Price isn't too bad !
Only problem I can see is they want $600 to install the Projectors in the Housings...ouch ! Not sure if I am going to do them or have them do them but in these housings the projectors need to be mounted by the Flange with bolts, not by the rear threaded mounting point... agh... !
Also, ordered some Blind Spot Mirrors that bolt to the bottom of the side mirrors,4" x 2"), hope they are decent pieces. The price was right but the CHINA thing... I didnt want to do it but I have found nothing for Blind Spot Mirrors that don't come from there... !
One thing to keep in mind is that the back of the projector will be sticking out unless it's small enough to fit entirely inside our small headlight... which probably isn't the case. If that is true look at the bottom of the led projector, appears to be heatsink but is there anything else exposed? If so that might be a problem with trying to cover. I have mini d2s 2.0's in my housings now and plan on eventually doing my mini d2s 4.0's that have been sitting here for a while in my basement. I will most definitely have to cut more of the rear housing since the projectors are longer but there is nothing exposed on the rear/bottom of the projector like the ones you pictured.
Just food for thought as doing a projector retro fit isn't hard but can be time consuming especially when you run into silly things that aren't looked at in the beginning which cause headaches later on.
