Thread: Two Morimoto projectors one cup...uh...I mean headlight...headlight

I'm the same way. I had water issues with my last retro. I kept tearing em apart and resealing em. Coudn't figure it out. Then I realized it was because I didn't seal the back around the projectors. Water was pouring in from that channel above the headlights. After I sealed that I never had any more problems.

I was reading that thread, and I noticed Dave said he used his highbeam as a turn signal since he had maxima fogs... what if those 3 hashes you 04+ have for headlights reflectors, you turned into turn signals?

You mean the cornerlight? If so, the problem with that is that it isn't easily seen in front of the car, it would really only work on the side. Plus, it is only a 194 bulb so it isn't bright enough.

Replace it with an LED, half the blinkers on the front of cars you can't see anyway, but you'll definitely see them at night.

Also have a question for the driving/fog lights. I am planning on copying drunkie and placing my turn signals in the old high beam location. Is there a single lens driving/fog replacement to put back where my old turn/driving lights were. Or something that is buildable to look good in that big hole. I would love to find something i could do a yellow hid and a 6000k hid in the same housing then i could select which bulb depending on driving conditions. I may just be dreaming on that though.

The GP's without the fog lights (just the turnsignal/parking lamps) have the bulb centered so I think if you put a projector in those it would look awesome.

You could so put a morimoto H1 projector in there.

Bixenon foglights...even I never tried that lol.

My eventual total lighting setup is quad projector headlights, 35w lows, 55w highs, and 35w fogs. Not sure if I wanna go 3k fogs or 6k. I know I'm going 6k headlights cause I already have 35w 6k lows.

You mean a quad headlight set up and projector fogs? No turnsignals for you, eh Broski?

Read that... It lists all the GXP models as "fits" and then says it doesn't fit GXPs... :x

I'm gonna see if I can make some custom halos around the edge of the fogs bright enough to use as signals. This means a bunch of front facing LEDs instead of two sidefiring ones. Should be bright as hell.
