I did the same. The only difference is I painted my reflector with Plasti Dip so I can completely reverse this mod if I ever need to.

Thanks peeps for your help whats the best way to get the lens of the unit will a hair dryer be sufficient?

HoodedLime 05 April 2016 05:05 PM

Best would be oven or do as they did in that video. I've tried hairdryer but it didn't work. Had to use oven in the end.

Have you got any links to the ones you've bought?

B9SLJ 06 April 2016 06:41 AM

Genuine mate put em in the oven as it heats them all equally, you b ther all day using a hair drier as by the time you've warmed each side the other side has cooled down lol

https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/152028264010 bro82 they couple quid cheaper now too 19.99:)

Just one more thing to remember. Not sure how B9SLJ did it but to fit my projectors I had to order mounting rings from Retrofitlab. Cost me £13 and were delivered in 2 days. Ones provided with projectors only enable you to fit them in H4 and H7 housings.

Nah, don't worry lol. I was afraid too, especially as I have gas oven. I was afraid that burner may damage my lenses. I set my temp at gas mark 4 and put the headlight just for 5 mins :thumb:

I didn't need to buy anything else it was all included in with the projectors, mountings, rings for different bulbs etc

B9SLJ 06 April 2016 11:13 PM

It's all included in kit for h1 h4 h7 bulbs inc mounting brackets

adamroutley 01 May 2016 09:58 AM

I've been umming and arring about this. I even emailed the Retrofitlab about the adapter plates as I wasn't sure whether the eBay ones would work. It put me off when RFL siad they were like £20 for some metal plates.

So the ones in your link sit nice and sturdy then B9SLJ? Did you wire up the high beam shield?

B9SLJ 01 May 2016 07:14 PM

Yes the projectors are bolted solid to the reflector so u can adjust etc as normal, and yes did wire up high beam shield and it works perfect

adamroutley 18 May 2016 10:29 PM

So step one..

I've had to open out the entrance into the projectors as H1 bulbs won't fit. I've also got to source some screws as they haven't been provided to fix the shrouds.

Step two..

Baking the lights.. I tried 150 degrees for 4 mins, my light is now like a big blob of jelly! LOL!. Managed to fudge it back together and get it back in the car. Trip to a breakers this weekend I think!

B9SLJ - I'm guessing you wired the black and red into the main beam cables? On mine I have a red and a red and blue to my main beam, which is the posi? Guessing the red only?

B9SLJ 19 May 2016 07:34 AM

Sorry to hear your havin trouble mate , Maybe the supplier has had a bad batch if the h1s don't fit an screws are missing. Mine were ok
I only set my oven at 90c to split the lights
i would say red only is live , but double check with tester before u connect, will have a look at my own lights later to see wat colours I have, my car was a bugeye that I converted to blob so wiring is slightly different anyway

alcazar 19 May 2016 11:25 AM

Who did you buy from in the end Adam?

No bother mate, I'm pretty savy with my hands so I'll have ankther crack at it when I get a new light from the breakers. I did it previously on another car so should be OK.

Same place as B9SLJ. Don't get me wrong, they are good units.. Just need filing back. I'll stick up a thread with links and that when I'm done.

BLU 20 May 2016 03:01 PM

Have you got a picture of the beam pattern B9SLJ?? :thumb:

adamroutley 20 May 2016 08:37 PM

It's further up the page Blu

BLU 20 May 2016 09:57 PM

Oh yeah :lol1::thumb::thumb::thumb:

adamroutley 22 May 2016 08:05 PM

Just a quick query on these retrofit kits.. Are they MOT legal?
