Default Projector Retro

So im going Quad bixenon , Ive given up on halogen , too little light for too much power and heat.

Going quad bixenon headlights at 50watts...
And 3000k fogs at 50watts.

4x Morimoto Minis
6x 50w Morimoto Ballasts
4x Phillips 85122+ OR Osram 66240
2x H11 3000k Bulbs
4x CCFL angel eyes
4x Gatling gun shrouds

Should be around 20,000 lumens without the foglights on.
(Too put it in perspective a 9005 bulb makes 1500 lumens... for a total of 3000 lumens with your highbeams , 5000 if your lowbeams stay on)

Working out the final details...

The fogs are for adverse weather conditions.

Are you doing the retrofit, or will Matt be handling it?


Also...the 50w ballast for the fogs is definitely pushing it. On the fogs, I would do the 3five ballasts.

Don't even want to add up how much all that cost!!


I already know the output will be amazing!!!


Be sure to get some Butyl tape to reseal the headlights.
