For four little boxes of goodness packed in two bigger boxes of happiness. biggrin.gif Projectors are here. These things GLEAM when taken brand new out of the box. But......got a nice surprise today too. Included with the projectors was aparrently the projector bulb (there's a couple of prongs sticking out the back of the housing which I can only presume is the bulb, H1 right) AND.............that oh so hard to find side marker bulb/housing was in each side's respective lens. All I've got to do is locate the proper harnesses (which from first look seems to be a packard weatherpack connector which would be great cause I've got a source for them).

So the wife gets to see them (it's a psuedo christmas present for her) and all she had to say is "Oh my god the cars going to look sooooo f***ing hot with those." biggrin.gif

Now, a couple of questions. I'm going to upgrade all the lighting bulbs in the front of the car. Fogs and highs specifically, with either a good PIAA or Sylvania Silverstar bulb. IS the bulb that came in the projectors going to be white enough so as not to look odd next to the upgraded highs or fogs, or should I just pony up the cash for a new set of H1's also?

Philips has the Blue Vision series, all of the bulbs needed for our cars. Fogs/Highs/Lows/Side are made for it. Since Philips is a Dutch company its easy to get them here, but they sell products around the Globe so it would't be a problem getting them in the USA I think.

Here is a link to the product webpage.

I used construction kit to seal the light again, dont have any problems with seal. Something that is available at any DYI store.
BTW I know its very scary to open 500 dollar sets of lights. I did it with 3 sets now smile.gif

BTW you dont glue the lens back in, only the front glass wink.gif


@Lagos:

Already told this a few times, just get a universal H4 socket connector. Strip your wires and connect the universal H4 socket on the H1 lights and your done. A 8 dollar and 5 minute job.

I know the projector lense bolts back in. That's not the issue. I need to know what sealant to use, like a clear or black silicone RTV or something???? You say DIY store, but what kind?? I'm thinking of just using a black high temp RTV for it.

Sorry about no pics everyone, had my Business Stats final yesterday and was working on that with a couple friends until about 10PM last night.
