• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

retro help

270... holy balls.

I had 120 in projectors and shrouds and then bought a hid kit for under 60. And bought new headlight housing and still came in under 250.

That comes with their $150 HID kit though. Which is a hell of a lot better than what you and I are using. Trust me on that.

If you want halos, you can choose that option in that package there too and they'll send you the matching size.

Look at my thread in the member's ride section to see my install with the amber halos. Do keep in mind they don't "fit on" you have to glue them. Use JB weld or something. I used gorilla glue, but I'm worried about them.
 


i emailed the company before i bought them adn the guy told me to get h1 hids if i wanted hids so i feel he woulda told me then
 
So I found all the pages I used when researching and trouble shooting my retro project. There's like a good 15 or so.

If you want me to post them I can but if you're not gonna use them or don't want them i'd rather not. lol 'lotta work

Were the spyders meant for halogen though?

Most ebay projectors are. HID works in them, but they don't perform as well as actual HID projectors. On the flip side, halogen H1s will NOT fit in in HID projectors. So don't try putting a halogen H1 in your mori's
 
some may contain the same info, others may not be relevant at all. But this is what i got.

The first link is the thread I made when I first started thinking about retro fitting. I never really went back and posted the results. I ended up painting the housings black and using Duplicolor shadow chrome to make the shroud black chrome. I can post pics if you want.

I've read many of those links when I did mine, I didnt feel like finding them again. :th_laugh-lol2:

Good thing I bookmarked all of the links made it easy.I almost deleted the folder with the links a few weeks ago but I had a feeling they would come in handy eventually. lol

I'm just glad I was finally able to help someone else out and contribute to the site. Been a member for a while but I usually lack the knowledge and experience needed to help others out.
 
welp i emailed spyder and i was then told to email amazon my new headlights will be here thursday im still gonna do retros but not till the winter when i have to much time on my hands
 


Just have a spare set to use on the car meanwhile and work on the retro pair little by little when you have the time. It can be tedious work..I prefer not to do it all at one time.
 
i will be out of work most of november and all of december and most of january and where i live there is nothing to do in the winter other than snowmobile and ice fish so i feel its a perfect time to do it
