Retrofitting 2002 Infiniti QX4 Low beams...PROJECT

[iceman14n]

Hey guys, i am going to start this project and retrofit my low beams on the QX4 .. they already have HIDs in them but i want to put in Projectors in them like some of you have in the Pathfinders Headlights.

here is the Pic of a QX4 headlight:


and these are the ones i am planning on installing.



Any suggestions?

To my eye it looks like it won't fit...

pretty expensive to replace if they dont turn out. used those lights are 600 bux. personaly im not sure if i would attempt it. FYI those housings are a pain to take apart. i gutted a HID setup out of a busted up set of lights and it was a pain to get them apart. all im gonna say is good luck. im curious how they are gonna turn out.

Are those the Mini Morimotos? If not, I would recommend those or the Blazer fogs. Now as far as messing with this, I've only done one retrofit on my old car (ML320) and it was a simple drop in, but since I was a noob I never got it perfect. I would make sure every measurement is perfect and all the right marks are made. If you're handy and experienced and *PATIENT* it should be a one day job. As a newb, I'd leave it for a weekend once you have everything ready to start. Check the forums on HIDPLANET. Best of luck, and this is something I definitely wanna see done. Cheers.

Thank You brother...

This is what i have decided thus far, Since my QX4 already have HIDs i am going to use the Projector lens from these and basically plug and play just the Black Lens part on top of the bulb. This way i wont lose the MOTORIZED headlight that this headlight has.

you just bought my tail lights.

I think

[604Coast]

Yup I did! Cheers Kevin they look great. Will have to get wire harness/bulb sockets from wreckers but no big deal.

Hello iceman14m,
thank you for the picture and hope you're on the right way. Tell me more about the different stage of removal. It seems that the glue is very hard.

hi, any progress on this project? I did my fog lights this weekend.

[iceman14n]

Hey buddy... I am just going to do it this weekend.... I am doing both, fogs and the headlights.

I see projectors in your fogs. Close ups PLEASE!

[mo21]

I'm new to this site and don't know how to post image. any help

[SBK03SE]

Host your image at a site like photobucket or imageshack. Grab the image link, click the little mountain in the toolbar then paste the link between. Alternatively type in [img*]LINK HERE[/img*]. Minus the asterisks. Hope that helped.

[mo21]

Thanks.. here it is

[SBK03SE]

Looks great! I'm thinking of doing my fogs too.

[iceman14n]

holy crap bro.. that is amazing.. did you just bake the fogs to get the glass cover off?

[mo21]

Same process to take the headlight off. I had hid in them before and so i had to make sure its in here too..lol

[iceman14n]

which projectors are you using, i am going to install the Moriomoto H1 Minis.. in my headlights i am going to use the Moriomoto D2S..

From the Retrofitsource, i am just waiting on the shipping, should be here today...

[mo21]

I only know today about that website and will order from there to do my headlights. i order a set from eBay that i had to do a few customization. that kit from retrofit site should be great.

[iceman14n]

can you tell what kind of customization you had to do? and which bulb did you use?

this is what i used.. a bit cheaper but i now prefer the retrofit ones

[mo21]

ones u take the lens out. this first part of the fog light comes out easy but the other part is a bit tight. the second part i drill a hole on it for the mounting of the unit and the bulb will goes in the factory unit.

[iceman14n]

You have HIDs in your foglight right? that must look sick... how many Ks are your bulbs?

I see in your little picture, they look sick...

I am doing mine within the next couple days now that i have see you do it..

[iceman14n]

By the way, how long did you have to keep the fog housing in the oven and at what temperature?

[mo21]

200f. @ 10 mins.
