Thank you for this video. I am retrofitting Morimoto D2S 4.0 into 2016 F150 housing and the nut and bolt method will help my alignment.
Thanks for the info!
Very solid video✊🏼✊🏼
Great video guys, anyhow I'm about to order a kit from you guys (hope you honor the free shipping :) )
Great video!
I'll be doing a Morimoto d2s 4.0 on a 2012 Tacoma. going the nut and bolt method, how or what do I need to do to accurately drill the four holes for the long bolt to hold the projector against the reflector so that the cuffoff line is perfectly horizontal?
so helpful
My first 3 retrofits were nut and bolt method but then I got sold on the thread and screw method (first one)
I'm trying to retrofit a 1998 Tahoe I don't know which projector to use and if I'll fit just right or if id need any modification
I have an 05 dodge caravan I'd like to retrofit with projectors. Which kit would I need?
Hi i just want to know where to install the wiring of the projectors? Is it for hi and low beam? Pls enlighten me
I need to retrofit a set of Sealed beam 5x7. What do you recommend?
Great fucken video bro !
Hi i wanted to know if i could fit a projector on my 2009 LR2, has the reflector housing but honestly its looking aged and i wish i could upgrade it
do you guys know anything about how to retrofit a 2006 suzuki gsxr 1000 headlight?
Please tell me sir which meterial used for projector back side glue or epoxy please please please tell me how to fill the gap.
I have a 2006 mazda 3 2.3l halogen lights. Which one fits the best?
you can put projectors bi-xenon in chevy malibu 2007
So on the last headlight shown with the huge square cut out... how exactly is that covered? If you used jbweld how does it not get EVERYWHERE and or go into the reflector housing...etc.
It does not need to be covered because its inside a sealed headlight. If you wanted to cover it, you would tape it from the inside and lay down epoxy.
Nice video. I want to retrofit a projector into my 97 mustang cobra reflector headlights. I practiced on a old housing /
(Same design as the cobra) got the lense off just don’t know what projector to get for a 9007 hi/low beam same bulb. If I use one projector with a hid kit that has hi/lo will it have a actual low and higher beam? Can led’s be used in a hid projector?
You don't want to use LED bulb inside a projector designed for HID. You can use a full LED projector though such as the MLED which comes with a threaded shaft which you can fit in a 9007 application lightwerkz.net/collections/led-projectors/products/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-2-0-lhd - Please email us directly we can supply all the parts needed.
Is HID still preferred over LED systems? Or are you guys old school and just want to stick to the way you've done it since you began.

So, if I send you guys my 03 Silverado headlight, you can install the baddest Hid's in it? How would I get a estimate?

Freshkryp69 I've got an '02 Sierra that I've retrofitted awhile back. I've used amazon hids and projectors, which were acceptable given my budget, but I had to drive with no lenses on since I've built them on my daily driver. This video is definitely what I needed to build a correct setup in the future
I’m needing some kool head and tail lights for a 2001 dodge van
what shroud is it?
I’m about to embark on a retrofit for my 2005 Honda CR-V, I already received my Morimoto Mini 2.5” 8 Bi-Xenon H1 projector set, but I’m thinking about doing the high beams too. Do you think it’s possible? The reflector is pretty deep just not as wide obviously as the low beams. I ordered the second set, I can always cancel if it won’t work. Thanks for your input. After seeing the video, I am convinced I would have to do your nut and bolt method to recess the projector into the high beam reflector. I have sent emails and haven’t heard back yet. Hopefully I do soon.
Use the H1 8.0 for high beam and use a better projector for low beam - you have plenty of space. I would use the D2S 5.0.
@@LightwerkzGlobal is that also under the mini umbrella? Or they’re another line completely? Do you guys sell them?
@@Aquaman-wy3mg It's considered full size but you can easily fit that in your lights. Yes we offer the full Morimoto catalog - lightwerkz.net/collections/hid-projectors/products/bi-xenon-morimoto-mini-d2s-5-0
Bolting the projector is 100% better then using the stick weld. You get to position it perfectly without trying to rush things with the stick weld. Ive done several retrofits but only using the threaded shaft one's but later on i will go with an oem projector. Now for my 2012 mitsubishi outlander (GT not the sport model)not sure which projector to use since i would like to use a 100% bolt on swap with no modifications. So if anyone knows which projector i should use,please lmk. Thanks

What about condensation in the headlights any issues with that?
You're probably referring to how there is no 'seal' between the reflector and the projector. Keep in mind that this entire assembly sits within the outer housing and clear front lens, which would be water tight. The nut and bolt method doesn't present any issues with leaking or condensation.
How do you guys figure out where to make the holes for the bolts to go through in the reflector?
ModgePodg3 custom templates for each projector
I just spent 1k on my retrofit headlight for my Xterra and they suck 😔. The company had them to low and I couldn’t adjust them any higher. They did let me send them back to get fixed but now the projector housing bounces around when I’m driving down the road. It’s worst when I hit a bump, railroad tracks, and an uneven road. It’s pretty bad when I turn them off when off-roading. Rather use the light bar that now bouncing around everywhere.
I have a 2006 Scion xB, will the Mini D2S shaft fit in there or do I have to drop to the Mini H1?
My preference is the 3" projector, but Ill get the 2.5" to save the hassle is modification was necessary.
Thanks!
Yes D2S will fit - absolutely. G5R, i.Lens, and M-LED as well!
Lightwerkz Global Inc. Thanks for the info!
Caesar,
Do you think I can do threaded method with my 2005 Honda CR-V? Both low and high?
Get's more difficult to align dual projectors in one headlight when you are relying on threaded shaft but it is possible.
Are Evox-r 2.0 the best projectors for high beam performance/distance??? Thanks.
A Ramirez G5-EX and EXL will outperform in high beam. Low beam wise the EX and EVOXR 2 are a close match up. Nothing else comes close as a high beam with those two units.
Would u give us any info on how to install Morimoto m led projector on bmw f30 halogen thanks
Im sorry don't have any experience with it. Not something I would recommend as fitment is very tight,
Yo can I fit an OEM huge toyota prius projector inside a 2005 Nissan Sunny EX N16 Headlights?
I understand the nut and bolt method. My question is, are you putting springs over the bolts in between the projector and reflector bowl? I tried looking during the video but couldn't see.
I am currently using nut and bolt method plus springs. My only issue is I have noticed the springs bind up sometimes.
no we do not use any springs. Not needed.
@@LightwerkzGlobal WOW lightning fast response. I actually am in the middle of your Nut and Bolt method video and I just came back here to delete my comment. Thank you!
If you are using springs and they bind try to flip them [//////] [\\\\\] that should fix your problem.
@@LightwerkzGlobal Can you please tell me what kind of putty it is? What kind of epoxy glue is it? is the common and current that come 2 colors and mix to form a harder putty at the time of drying? In Mexico it is known as Plastiacero, I do not know if that is good or there is another special brand that you can recommend me please, thank you.
I have a 99 Silverado 1500 , what projectors would fit best ? Thank you
Something small like the H1 7.0 would be your best performer.
do you guys do retrofit on 2000 toyota 4runner glass headlights
Yes we do. But we have a set for sale. Brand new - www.ebay.com/itm/322477465392?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 - email me if you are interested and I can give you a better price - sales@lightwerkz.net
Can you directly mount a 4TL-R projector on a 2015 Honda Accord? Or do you have to aim it off the car too
Its direct.
Okay cool. And the projectors are both the same right, there's no left and right?
correct
Thanks
what's the make & model of the car for that first headlight?
They are all the same, Toyota Tundra.
What size is the opening for the bulbs on a mk7 GTI halogen headlight opening? I ask because I want to install the Morimoto d2s projectors
Any hole will need to be opened up generally speaking. But least amount of opening up with the H1 sized projectors. But no point in using H1 anymore. So many better options. If you are tight on space use the D2S Micro.
@@LightwerkzGlobal how do the Morimoto d2h bulbs compare to osrams and Phillips? I have a hid assembly I bought from AliExpress and it looks very good but I tried to fit osram cool
Blue boosts d2s bulbs but they won’t fit due to the lock mechanism on the projector
@@rudydaberry122 Its fine to use but ideally you want to reap the benefits of using Osram or Philips bulbs.
Hi I was wondering, after you have the projector installed using the screws and nuts and you have it aligned and the screws epoxied in, how do you seal up the hole where the back of the projector goes through? Do you epoxy that hole shut once it's aligned?
On most models you dont need too since the back is sealed with a housing/grommet. Like so- ruclips.net/video/pu0DQvH-CH0/видео.html OR if you have a housing you need to seal, you can use this type of method - ruclips.net/video/eLQ3pcNn8tY/видео.html
Thank you. I believe the second option is what I will have to do. I'm looking at doing a retrofit using FX-R 3.0 projectors into a 2012 ford expedition. Do you know by chance how well those will fit in the housing? Will the 3" fit or should I go with the 2.5"? I'd like to try and fill up the reflector bowl.
How do you seal up the back after you cut the holes in them like that?
You don't need too as they will be sealed up inside a headlight housing.
the putty idea is probably the worst idea possible... even gluing the projector in is silly. as these things can fail, burn etc so replacing a projector unit would be needed..
I'd stick with nut & plate method as required... maybe little trimming but I'd prefer to even make a custom plate to ensure fitment & if required to return back to original set up of required
good vid tho
Actually the putty method is the most used method to date! Its very reliable if done correctly. Many retrofitters use this method including me with no malfunctions. The putty only temporarily holds the projector on until you apply the epoxy. If some have problems its because they don't use the correct epoxy (non-quick set). I've used this method to mount ls460's, ls430's, Murano, RX350 and other projectors that are on the "heavy" side. No malfunctions to date with the oldest retrofit being an LS460 about 4-5 years ago.
Bolt and nut method is still a great method, though it is very time consuming method available. Either way, I've seen malfunctions from both methods. Its really all about the retrofitter and his/her care and quality of work.

What is a projector headlight?
It is a projector. Older cars headlights that have mirrors that direct beam pattern. Projectors give a more even light and give the most light from bulb cause of beam pattern.
Hey, can you please help me? The H4 adapter plate and its placement on the headlight housing is not centered. Because of which my projector is not at all centered either. I find it really strange or I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Here's the image www.screencast.com/t/BXsIdKk7eAg Thanks for the help!
Amjath Khan you have a rotated h4 mount. Shave the 3 tabs and rotate it properly.
Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't do anything other than removing the old LED lights from it and just inserted the projector into it only to find that the adapter locations are not centered. And I'm not really sure what 'save the 3 tabs' means. Could you please elaborate a bit? Thanks again!!!!
The 3 tabs are preventing you from rotating the projectors, you need to remove them.
Lightwerkz Global Inc. Thanks. Is that possible to remove them without proper equipment? And removing the tabs won't make the projector loose?
No the projector will not be loose and you just need a cutting tool of some sort to shave away the metal tabs.
Do you have the 07 Honda Ridgeline head lights it’s h4
