this is a retrofit true hid with fully adjustable beam. you will need to bake your headlights to separate your lens. The retrofit consists of two kits put together more detailed parts listed below. the two kits that make up the quad projector is
"Bi-xenon: Matchbox Stage III" and "Retro-Quik: Spyder/Spec-D Lights" you will also need 2x
MotoControl Bixenon: H4/9003" to control the actuators for hi-beam.

Step 1
once you get your kit bench test it make sure everything works. for the quad projector please note that the motocontrol box will one will be used for the left and the other will be used for the right side.

STEP 2
separate your lens housing
7 minutes in an oven at 265 degrees Fahrenheit to open

Step 3
fit the spyder spec d brackets in to the morimoto projector and mount into the housing this is a direct bolt on using the adjustable screws to aim the headlight more detailed guide here: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/diy-installation-guides/specd-guide.html

Step 4 (The Hard Part) - Matchbox Projectors
now that the one side is mounted we can move on to the other bulb where the high beam light used to be.
this other part requires some cutting and drilling to fit. I ended up using the reflector to get the Matchbox projectors to mount. for the reflector i basically used a large step bit and drilled the reflector out so I can bolt the projector and sandwich it in place with the provided silicone washers. I then used jb weld to glue it in place. I also had to make new ajusting screws for the other side as the weight of the projector keeps popping out the factory screws out of the ball socket. I went to the hardware store and bought the same length bolts and doubled nutted one end and ground the head off to fit behind the reflector. before glueing in the projector make sure it is level and strait!!!

I also cut a spot to get a flat head screwdriver to aim the beam

once mounted should look like this

Step 5 Hook it up and test test test!!!!
test the high beam actuators at least 30 times before sealing up the lens

sealed it up and tested the halos and daemon eyes additional bling

as you can see in this pic minor trimming was needed to fit the projector and the shroud (far right projector) the left proector did not require a shroud to fit evenly.

step 6 seal it up and install and adjust aim
I basically aimed each individual beam using the adjusting screws on the back. i used this method of aiming the beam

here it is installed

here is my light beam pattern

Pretty good write up. Thank you.

Awesome write up, great job man

thanks guys I forgot to mention if you do not want to do the full Quad bi-xenon you could just get this kit and skip the last few steps:
"Retro-Quik: Spyder/Spec-D Lights"

I have to say with quad setup like mine the light output is insane. on a 5 lane hiway and i am in the middle lane I can light up the whole road without blinding anyone. sharp chrisp and no glare.

So you're in for about $600 or so after everything was said and done?

 

[Onefastrx7turbo]

very nice sir!

 

[citadel]

looking good!!!

around $600 for the quad hid kit but for normal bi-xeon expect half if you do not want to do drilling and trimming.

sometimes they have coupons online the biggest one i have seen is 25%

and plus the cost of the spyder/sonar headlamp which for me was around M.S.R.P: $313.99

the headlamps you can get them in chrome or black

I don't mean to be advertising for this company its just what I have used and what worked for me...

Are the lens on these glass or acrylic? If they are acrylic, do you know how thick they are?

 

[veiloctane]

Acrylic lens. Around 3 a 3.5mm thick
