HID retrofit w/ Bi-Xenon Projector on 06 Suburban

[Travieso]

where you located ? lol please say Southern California

The cut off looks real good..

Rau, even if you aren't ready to buy the full kit just make sure you buy the micro gatlings asap from trs. Andrew told me a couple of weeks ago that there's very few left and as far as I know they're the only shrouds that'll work with the matchbox projector.

Light output looks good bud.

Matt just email me saying one left on stock but without the shrouds. I'm going to wait for few more weeks to see if he restock it, if not then I will do lots of cutting to fit in the blazers onto fog housing.

nice job

Looks good. Im doing quad Mini setup. Same lights as well, but the black housing ones. Might have to try your baking time, b/c the 5 min thing dont work. How is the lense of the light? One i tried had spider cracks all over it.

Looks good, makes me want to get mine done now. lol

I do the first one (driver) for 7 mins and nothing happen so I double it with 15 mins and it come out easy. The second one (passenger) after bake with 15 mins, it took me no more than 5 mins to separate them apart. Just don't force it and you may need two flat blade plus the cutting knife to cut off the glue along the way when you pry it.

It's about time....

lol

If I could do mine all over I'd probably do the same setup, the quad mini-H1's. Best bang for the buck and pretty easy to fit in most headlight applications. Those weren't even an option a couple of years ago when I did my TSX's, though. The TSX's still kick ass, anyway, but I'd like to have the bi-xenon option.

I might have to find some spare cheap ones and see how well it works. Thanks for the info on how you did it. I did try the two blades last time, but kept getting to cold. Thanks

ha ha.. I know, i know. Just the high beam side, is a little tricky. But soon my friend, soon.

I just recently have sometime follow the instruction on this photo to adjust my aiming

And this is what I got

I'm really happy with what I got for now. I have learn a lots from this forum. Thanks everyone, and if I have a change to redo it, I'll try with some thing better like TSX similar to DenaliAK's work.

Light output looks good rau.

 

[DenaliAK]

Looks like some great output. Kind of surprised at how little foreground lighting there is, but that's partly due to the height of the trucks and the design of the projectors. Hard to get around that gap in light between your bumper and where the light hits the ground.

If you can, I'd love to see the output against a wall from about 50 feet or more. Gives a better idea of cutoff, width, and hotspots or uniformity in the lights.

I'll try to snapshot when I have a chance.

I make it like that for my references to see better, and when need it fog light will be on to fill that gap. It's took me a few tried to get that by cut out the housing and pulled back the projector a bit meaning I'm not fitting it thru the 9006 hole like showed on post # 1.

Question for you, how you do your fog light? I couldn't find any aftermarket clear housing (without diffuser lens) for me to put the blazers on, any suggestion?

 

[DenaliAK]

I ended up using a combo of an aftermarket housing and plumbing parts for mine. Looks pretty nice, though. Light could be better...my fault for giving up on larger and harder to retro projectors. I think I could duplicate this mod now that I know what/how to do it with Blazers pretty easily. Huge thread on my process, start at about page 11 where I basically started all over from scratch and read from there. It may at the least give you some ideas, but I tell you what, a walk through Lowe's or Home Depot with your projectors in hand might just open your eyes to possibilities....lol.

Nice little article can't wait

 

[Bozchevelle]

Did he use a stock set of headlights from his Tahoe to retrofit them with the projectors?


Thank you

4. Clear aftermarket headlight housing

 

[Bozchevelle]

I would like to know if he does these on the side for other members, and if so how much it would cost.

Thanks

I did a few for my friends and family but mostly *** cars. And since I'm very busy limited with time, holding their stuff up to 2wks so I would not dare to charge anyone.

It's just fun work on difference cars

I really like your work on those fog, it's look super clean.

I have two hours while waiting for the turkey to bake for Christmas Eve, so I work on my fog. And very sorry for not taking any process picture due to busy cooking.

Blazer projector ($45) with Mini Gatling Gun shroud ($15) glued on OEM bracket (not housing) so it's can be adjustable.

Light on with 880 bulb 4300K

All lights on

All lights off

No output picture yet, still find a good wall to do with both low and fog like mention above but the output and cutoff on the road while driving is nice.

If time is permit, I will take out the Mini Gating Gun and put in Apollo shrouds so it will be perfectly fit.
