Thread: Projector retrofit in a '97-'03

$120 for the projectors and $45 for an HID kit.

I went with spyders only because I didn't want to take the time to do the retrofit, now I kinda wish I went with the contrary, because I've already retrofitted in another car. Maybe I should do it anyway and sell the spyders since I wouldn't need another HID kit...hmmm....

When you retrofit, how do you go about making the high beams work for 97-03 GPs? (a solenoid in the projector moves a cutoff)

You just need to use a Bixenon projector, like you said the cutoff shield moves inside. From what I've read, you just get the right harness from trs and it's plug and play. But I could be wrong on that. Still trying to figure it all out.
Nobody has examples of retrofits?

I only ask that because our cars use a dual beam bulb while my last retrofit had seperate high and low beam bulbs.

There's a retrofit in the for sale section.

@ls1gtp, I'd rather do it myself, just kinda something I've been wanting to do. And yeah the harness just plugs in and allows the shield to move with high beams while still keeping the light on.
@Ricky21, he'll yeah I'd like to see more pics. Those look good. Did you use morimoto minis? Pm coming your way.
@ITHURTZ, I'd definately do it myself, especially with these headlights.

do the morimoto mini's come with bulbs or do you have to buy those separately?

Oh cool so there is a harness for them. Last time I did this I made my own. Looks like this may be in my future cause I loved their output, and my spyders bounce like no other.

I've concluded that I AM going to do a retrofit, should be relatively soon that I start the project.

if you need links for info/research. here is a thread i just made that have all of the links i used when i did my retro.

I love my retro's, they were a lot of work but they are definitely worth it.
