Mitshomoto Projector retrofit

Post by keithvibe »

Well since I have hooked up with Matt at TRS. I had to do a set up to find out how well these new projectors work... They are nice and compact, they are a bit more difficult to mount compaired to the china projectors I do as well. But the output from what I have seen is unmatched!I can offer discounts from what is listed. But the retrofit has to be done by me. I haven't driven yet at night, that review will be done later tonight.But, here are some photos showing what I did.I did some painting to the shroud to match the color of my car.Painted the whole headlight gloss black and the reflector bucket as well.I'm not a perfect painter but, these turned out pritty well if I say so myself.I'll put up photos later tonight of the output.BTW, if you want a set retrofitted expect to pay more than what you would for the china projectors that I sell.

Notice the aggressive rubber in there too... something you and i don't really have to worry about, but it looks like somebody is getting ready for winter driving?They look good, Keith, and I agree (in spirit at least) w/cptnsolo's sentiments.

I caught two nails in my passenger side rear summer tire set up.Otherwise I would still have them on.

Yeah Bud, sorry to say and having HID's myself (and loving them,) I'm not sure the vid does them justice. Wendy and I were trying to figure out where you took this? There were several street signs, but none that could be read.

Although I liked the lights with the halo's and all the red, these look wicked. I love the look... What projectors are those?
