Thread: Morimoto Mini H1 4.1 heads & fogs projector retrofit

So the story begins in July, when my friend Colin retrofitted his headlights using Morimoto Mini H1's.





I, of course, got an itch to improve light output and overall front end appearance. I grew tired of my flickering HID's. I saved some money together and made a purchase.

1. Morimoto Mini H1 4.1's (low & high beam 6000k)



2. 04+ headlight housing's
3. 04+ fog/turn housing's
4. Blazer projector's (fog light 3000k)



I participated in my first headlight bake off on October 7th. We work on these every couple week nights for a few hours together, and Colin has put a majority of effort into getting these done when I'm not around as well.

In fact, last night while I was at a haunted house he sent me a picture that really "haunted me". The first look at the pre-final product...



Aimed and adjusted, ready to reseal.



One headlight down, one more and two fog lights to go.

looks good

hell yeah!!

Should the shroud's be painted gloss black, or should they be left silver? I honestly, like them the way they are and think it may be too much black. I'm welcome to anybody's opinions.

I like them silver the way they are. Makes it pop/stand out a little, but not too much. Great project, can't wait to see the finished product.

Sliver. Let those stand out!

The shrouds will be left silver.
One headlight is finished sealing.

paint the shrouds blue

So...the headlights are finished. The fog/turn housings are both apart.
Here is a teaser picture...for now...I'm going out to shoot some new pictures right now.

Very nice man! Great job and looks clean! I had a ***** of a time getting my Gatling 2.0 to fit.

Here is another teaser with the projectors on this time...

Looks awesome, and very stealthy with the shrouds painted black. I like!!

The shrouds were never painted, the housing was painted.

Oops, my bad...that's what I meant. Obviously wasn't thinking clearly! Lol

I wish i had the time to do this or knew someone around to do it

You should do it yourself. It is fun, but can be a PITA and time staking. Just go at your own pace whenever you get time.

Pretty much. We had to cut the shrouds to fit.

Sunday, Colin and I measured the fog lights. We went out to Home Depot and got the drill bit.
Colin's first attempt at drilling through the fog housings came out completely level. More to come...

We also took our CompG's out for a projector photoshoot.
Here is the link to that thread. Lots of pictures, taken by both him and I.

When are you finishing fogs? I want to see fogs.
