Hi guys,
This is my second retrofit on this vehicle. It is a 2009 Pontiac Vibe with the 2.4l Automatic. The first retrofit I did was using Morimoto Mini H1 projectors from TheRetrofitSource. While they were a great upgrade from stock, I knew there were better options for retrofits out there. The projectors I recently retrofitted are commonly seen on the newer generation Acura TLs as well as many Mazda vehicles, such as the Mazda CX-9 SUV.
Enjoy! Let me know if there are any questions. I will also add that this is an extremely difficult DIY project as the headlights are very tight as space is concerned, and the engine bay does not offer much room to move either as far as modifications go.
Thanks!
