Bi-Xenon Retro-Fit Simplified!

[Luke111]

Now that I have plenty of time to work on projects, this is first on my list. This will be my first retrofit. Did you ever get a chance to document the D2S build? Would help me out a ton and make me feel better about tearing these headlights apart. Thanks!

Pretty much the same info as this thread but a little more detailed and I added the 2 Stroke LED in the HB location at the clients request

D2S / 2Stroke LED DEPO Retrofit

I know the D2S Depo retrofit is buried in another thread which I'll link and I recently completed a quad setup for my 80 and this retrofit was just completed for a member running the same setup in their LX470. Clearance for the D2S is the issue so removing the pivot point and replacing it with a...

Doing a retrofit. Looking to do H1 minis vs the D2S. My question is to go quad or not? Seems like it's another $160 or so vs going with the morimoto H1 HID kit for the high beams. Any advantage to going quad other than looks?

Details on the ExtremeLED? That looks like a great idea for offroad lights

re opened and trimmed the housings, it didnt take much. Decided to paint while i had everything open the second time. there is just enough room to clear the lenses for adjustment, but enough to feel comfortable with

I like the look of quads but it is a lot of light!

It's also a lot of work and you have to align 4 projectors

so, will the projectors put out more light than any HID will? And if I do go quad, do I hook up so all 4 projectors are always on?

I did it so all 4 are always on. How much light..i did 50W D2S's and 35W H1's and it is very bright. unless you aim them differently I would just have them all on. Getting them aligned is not that bad. Just make sure they are level then use the headlight adjustment to bring them up and down.

I started with the square ones and they did not fit. Had to hard mount them which give tons of room.

Do you have a photo of your headlights with the square projector? Debating between the square or the round, but I haven't seen any photos of anyone using the square on an 80 series.

no I dont.

I'm very curious how you (or anyone) managed to squeeze projectors in the high-beam side? I tried to build a set of quad beam bi-xenon projectors in my Depo housings but had trouble with the high beam side - the reflector bowl is just too shallow to fit a universal (threaded stem) projector without real butchery. I didn't want to hack up the reflector bowl and rely on epoxy to hold the projector in place because I figured I'd never get them both aimed correctly and I worried that constant vibration would cause them to come loose ( lots of Nevada corrugated trails). I am using the Morimoto D2S Mini projectors on the low beams side and was attempting to fit Morimoto D2S Micro projectors in the high beam side. I sent the Micros back to TRS and am going to find a LED unit to replace the Micros. I did some poking around but couldn't find any universal fit (with mounting stem) projectors that were short enough to clear in the high beams side of Depo housings. Since I already cut 30mm holes in the reflector bowls for the projector stems I can't go back to high beam halogens.

I used these 2.0 from Lightwekz but might rebuild them using a single projector and the HB Led projector in the low beam side. Aligning 4 projectors is a PITA
