Hid question

[240sx_in_209]

i have a question.. i was wondering can i use any hid projector of any car to retro fit into mine? or does it have to be a specific one? i dont think there is one but does anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all the cars with projector lights? thanks

Just go to your local U-pull it place and look around. I used J30's in mine and I've seen everything from ES300s to BMWs that can be used for a conversion.

do all j-30 have them or only certain kind.. i need some likes i can see **** with mine i drive with high beams on never get flashed before so cant be to brite. Was it hard to retro fit them into s13 housings?

I haven't seen that done yet, but I wasn't looking at that.Anyone have a pic? b/c I think that would look sweet with a permanent sleepy eye look and good beams.

And they're going to have to be cut apart as well. It wasn't too hard to do but most folks would find it daunting.

I haven't tried doing a "permanent sleepy eye" thing but one would have to fabricate their own housing and plastic shield to keep the lenses intact.

using a small piece of metal to go from a hole where the motor is to the lifter hinge would keep them stable and i'ts not that hard to fab a housing for it. I will think about doing that myself.

do u have any pics? and what bulb size are the j30 lights? i been looking for projectors but tsx ones i found close are like 400

code e for porsches and audis with the ballast and bulb is like 500 dung get tsx and u get the bi xenon too

but ya i have been thinking about putting hid in a seal beam H4 housing just cause that housing is cheap. but I'll probably do it with bi xenon projectors like code e and make it sleepy eye if i don't decide to go with a Silvia front with Duel projectors and fitting them with s2k.

This is my little project: http://s271.photobucket.com/al...oject/

Hopefully I can find what I need to do this again but with a twist.

how hard was it to wire it up? i might do this, at a local pick n pull there are a bunch of j30

[hazer396]

yeah how hard is it?are there any write-ups?

[240sx_in_209]

jup this would be a good write up considering it would be easy to find the projectors for cheap

I have the pictures, I suppose I could do a narrative on it. However, there is a projector retrofit article already out there in the tech how-to section. Wish I knew it was there before I did my own from the seat of my pants.
