Thread: Projector Fog Light Retro

Ok so im putting all of the pics of my Retro, into one thread. I have 40+ pics that i took during the process.......


Guys, not my first for the first with the TRS products. Loving it so far.

I already have 6 projectors on my car, but the Foglight projectors arnt cutting it. They are a blazer foglight that came OEM on many of the GM Cars and trucks.

There output is......ok good cutoff, but crappy output, could be the DDM HID kit thats currently in them.

The other issue that i have is the space. my intercooler is in the way of going any deeper than the bumper mounting points. Here is a pic for reference (old headlight setup)



So i picked up a set of the Mori, matchbox projectors with the idea to mount them in the OEM housings instead of the current where the projector is exposed.

Problem 1 is that is have limited room
Problem 2 is that the OEL fog light is very shallow.

So i chose the Morimoto Matchbox projectors for this








so that being said
this is all i have to work with.



so sugery began on the light



and the light fit in



Just squeaking it in



Because of the depth i had to modify the Micro gatling






all together







One issue i will encounter is the stupid diffuser that GM had to use







Painted all of the soleniod and the shield black



painted all of the orignal reflector housing Flat Black



Got some CCFL's on the Black Friday Sales and Painted the mini GG shrouds a Metallic Dark Silver to match the rest of the theme



Installed like they will be when in the housing



Everything assembled, no lense









and the lense installed..





Now i did modify these so there is no step, but a flare up on the right side. So its not a totally flat cutoff, but there is a really nice band that these projectors will give off.

So on to the install.

So here is the car with the old fogs removed....you can see that i have a space problem, and that the mount for the fog light attaches to the bumper





so i had to clear a path for the bulb clip and part of the bulb to pass through. I have enough room for the rest of the projector





as shown is the old DDM ballast that was installed on the bumper support



and the new 3five mounted



SOOOO finally Bumper back on and lights mounted (passenger side ****ed sideways before adjustment



with the CCFL's on





and the output, these are unadjusted, and unaimed.

for the example of width, that is a Airplane Hanger Door, Approx 60 Feet wide



and my Parents Garage doors, the one at my house is Green....



So there you have it, the blow by blow on the install

Looks awesome have thought about doing some for my car if it ever moves again.

My Blazer retrofit is almost complete. Looks very nice.

Damn very nice setup.

the Old Fogs i had retro'd were the Blazers, These blow them out of the water.....and they are Bi-xenon, meaning they have a High and Low Beam function

unrelated....

koniig, your my hero. Give me time to think of something lolol.
