How to- Retrofit Projectors 97-03 GP

Good write up. I attached mine at the back a little bit differently. I might take mine back apart and do it the way you did it so i can get some more adjustment out of them heightwise. Looks good

Heightwise? If you need to adjust them up and down, why don't you use the adjuster on the headlight bracket?

This may be a dumb question but, did you take out the projector when you painted? and did you paint the shroud too?

What did you mean by "Cut that sucker off, at an angle where the projector will be angled "outward"."

Yes, the projector wasn't in the housing when I painted. Painted the shroud also.

Cut it so if you had a bulb there, it would face outward, away from the middle of the car. If not, the beams may point too much toward the middle of the car and cross each other. See what I'm saying? It was hard to explain.
 


To avoid gaps under the headlight. If I went to how you mounted them I could move the threaded end up and down some changing the angle of the projector inside the capsule. When I mounted mine I only cutoff the first layer on the backside of the capsule. I then used the ring that fits inside of the hole, so my angle is pretty much fixed and isn't adjustable. I think I like the way you mounted it more.
 
Oh I see.

I can't get the high beams to work. TRS has been emailing me back and forth for 2 weeks now, telling me to try this and that. Nothing has helped. About to tell them I want a whole new harness to try.
 
I have an 04 but I wanted to say great job on the write-up, You know how we like those pictures!
The car is looking good and getting some new sparkle!!
 
Thank you.

I got some current pictures of the car, I've been meaning to post some up, but I don't have my bullitts on the car yet. So I'll wait till then, then get more pictures.
 




What do you mean retro fogs? And how old were the headlights that you used becuase ive been told the older the harder to take apart
 
i retracted the question after i thought about it lol, but i was thinking it'd be cool to have projector fogs, like the newer impalas, at least i think there projectors :confused:
 


Boostjunkie did p6 projector fogs, although said it was a lot of work. The only option I can think of off the the top of my head as far as size goes would be a blazertech. But output is probably meh at best.
 
alright. my the headlight part has been in and out of the oven for 1 hour now and still hasnt came apart lol and the black part has became so brittle a chunk broke off
