I'm running the 35 watt. One of these is plenty bright to drive with at night. It took me a lot of time to get them to my perfectionist standard but Well worth my time.

how long did it take you to mod the stock housings? you said it was around $150 for the parts right?
I believe it was around that if you already got hids. I got the projectors and harness for 150. Mod time varies, it took me several hours and days to get these finished but I ran into some problems. I can try to help with any questions you got.

thanks, I wanted to but wasn't sure how. So if you could inform me that be awesome :)
If you are planning on doing on this and you have oem replacement headlight get ready for a real trip getting the lens off, the sealant used on mine was like rubber cement. it took five hours for 2 people to paint the inside of mine.
im not sure if its only the brand i have, but beware...
my brand is TYC btw
That's why you put them in the oven at 150 degrees for about 7-8 minutes and pull the lense right off!Quote:

I put my OEMs (stockers) in the oven at 230*. Still took ****ing forever to get them apart. Seriously that black sealant is a *****, I'm thinking about getting rid of it altogether to make headlight modding easier on myself.
I can do these retrofits for people no problem!
My oem replacent lights were Horrible to get apart. I had to put them in at 275 for ten minutes to get the adhesive to soften at all. The housing took that heat fine. I'm working on doing this retrofit now. I hit a few snags but the way I'm mounting them should look much more oem than the way it's done here, and I won't have to adjust to remove the cross beam. I'm just waiting for either a warm day, or to finally get my garage heated finally, plus a day off work for once. I'll post up a how to of how I did it and my results when im done.
yea beam cross is a pain, im interested to see how your going to mount them.
So, if I already have a hi/lo 9007 kit, i can just buy a set of hi/lo h1 bulbs right? Or can I use a the 9007 in the Mori housing?
No, if you're retrofitting, you only need a single xenon bulb. Projectors have a cutoff shield which moves to allow more light to shine for a high beam. the high beam kicks on from the wiring harness.Quote:

has anyone found where I can get actual GM replacement lights? Since they will be much higher quality than aftermarket and easier to work with.
Edit: Ok I found genuine replacements on PFYC, but holy sh!t! They're $124 per side.
They'll actually be harder to work with btw, just sayin. Get some aftermarket replacements.
do you have pix of these lighting up the road? Also you said they have H1 bulbs, how do you have hi beams? arent the h1's low beams? Pix of hi and lows would be greatly appreciated. My high beams just straight up suck with my spyders.

If you're serious.....I'm interested. No Joke.Quote:
