2009 MGM G8 GT - New Wheels & Carbon Fiber Spoiler

Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Just a couple things in. It appears the maxima projectors will fit behind the bracket good like the mini h1s did. May have to make 3 small cuts where the bracket screws are.
 


Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

use the 5Five ballasts with the RX330s
That would raise output a notch or two.
 
Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

So I modded my projectors today. These are the maximas, black series clear lenses, new xb35 35w ballasts, xb35 45k bulbs, then i modded some h1 bixenon shields to fit into the maxima shields and painted them orange for the passive demon eye like always. Install will be within a week hopefully. Gotta suit up to remove the bumper n all that bs.

Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Thanks, I haven't put em in yet. I'll post some pics though. I tried looking them up in Google images but could never find the red lit up, only the silver SS speedo
 
Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Nice cut-off, it should be nice on the road.

Are these just for lows?

Thanks, a lot of the guys on hidplanet are telling me these should be much better than the h1s. These are capable of highs as well. I usually don't wire em up for that but it is capable. Usually my highs power on the other set of projectors lows, to run quad lows.
 
Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

oops missed the pigtails for the solenoid in pic.
So you could split the lows And highs for maximum blast, with another splitter.

I'ld like to see a pic of how you mounted the shield and solenoid to the plate.....if you have one.
When does all the coil business take place? or is that a spring thing

Maybe in the future I'll play with it, but I'll be cold n just want them in. Lol
Here's exactly what I did, a how to. http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/sho...-To-Make-your-RX330-Non-AFS-quot-Bixenon-quot

Coilovers will be here tomorrow and take probably go on just before nice weather breaks, like how I did the gp. I also been eyeing some new wheels. Those won't come till next year tho, then I'd get rid of the camaros. I should buy some adapters n put em on the gp. Haha. If only they weren't heavy as hell and staggered.

You made my day.
I was going to sass mouth the camo wheels but figured you wouldn't want to be joe camo forever.

Let's start shopping......I wanna see some choices.
 
Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Sent you a PM about the GP a while ago and didn't receive a response. Not to thread jack.

G8 looks damn nice too.

Sorry dude, all I have are the engine stuff that's on it now. Everything else has been sold n I'm going to keep that on for now. Maybe spring time I'll get a chance to take it off n re list it.
 
Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Ok. No problem. Thanks for getting back to me. Where did you get the aluminum door locks at?

Nevermind......Found them.

Re: 2009 MGM G8 GT - Quad Retrofit Complete!

Well I put in about 10 hrs with yesterday and today on these. Everything is done. I just want to get the lenses as clear as they can, so I'll be wetsanding again then putting on a coat of clear, then buffing them. After that, just seal them up n put em back on the car. I also added halos to the fogs. Those just need to be sealed up with some adhesive. I have laminx for them, smoke and yellow. I'm trying to decide which set to put on them also.
heres a bunch of pics. These maximas are pretty fricken nice, they're brighter than my Fxr for sure, and I can't wait to see them on at night. They were a super tight fit, I had to trim the lens holder down and they barely missed the adjustment knobs.
