Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. These days there are a lot of people who put a simple plug & play xenon kit in their halogen headlight housing in an attempt to improve night vision and looks of their vehicle. In fact they don’t realize that their headlight beams are often worse than before. Night vision achieves relatively little improvement on night vision because of a poor beam pattern, which increases the blinding of other road users. This is because their headlight housings are designed for halogen and not xenon.
A true Bi-Xenon projector update is now possible for your car. Such an upgrade will significantly improve your light output from 700-2100 lumens to 2800 and 3500 lumens, without blinding other traffic with glare from your headlight. Upgrade your headlight OEM style!
The latest high power Led bulbs will upgrade both the exterior and interior lighting system of your car. Led lighting is becoming more and more popular in the automotive market for obvious reasons. They have longer lifetime, use less energy and improve safety with their fast response time.
Do you have any questions? Do not hesitate to contact us, we are happy to help you out!
Good luck with your retrofit!

One of the best videos yet. No background annoying music. Just the sound of work and progress. Pls do more videos. *Subscribed
Thanks :-) (and sorry, sometimes we do use background music :-))
@Retrofitlab.com I wanted to thank because I learned so much from your videos. A few months ago I did a Morimoto d2s 5.0 retrofit on my 2017 Honda Civic Si and it came out amazing. Baking the headlights in a box was very helpful to me. :)
Good to hear :-)
Mind blown on your set up to bake them in, I’m definitely going to have to try that
Not the prettiest but if it works it works :-). We also made a video of how to make one yourself ruclips.net/video/r7D8dex_Sqg/видео.html
Retrofitlab.com thanks for the link that’s awesome.
@@kalei43 Good luck and be careful :-)
good to know i got these same projectors and my housing is the same size as that civics good thing i have a dremel too to make it fit😂 now i just need to make a box like the one you made
What wss the size ofyour projector
I wanted u to black out the headlight & u actually did 😘😘😘
Did u find any vdo for black out??

Me gusta el metodo que usas para calentar el foco exelente todo el trabajo
gracias :)
please do this on a set of 04-05 civic headlights, i and i’m sure others would be happy to see one
Maybe in the future :-)
Its the same exact thing for 04-05
@@Rone8Eleven Nice!
savage! no PPE was involved on this build lmao
Nice wark..
Thanks!
esos videos para autistas que no hablan como son mis favoritos, dejan todo a la imaginacion
sobretodo para alguien que no sabe nada del tema y quiere aprender
What about the wireing? Can you show us that/explain?
You guys are crazy! Spraying without a glove or even taking off your watch? Haha
***** Keep up the good work! Would love to see the headlights on the car
nice work
Thank you 🙏
Hi guys, i have a honda using h4 fitment, what bulbs should i use and how do i wire it up for the hi/low function.
Excellent vid btw, love the look.
We would recommend to use a bi-xenon or b-led projector instead of plug and play xenon or led bulbs.. :) for example the Aharon optimus TR. For the H4 bi-xenon function on a projector we have H4 cables with outputs to the ballasts and projector for hi/low
www.retrofitlab.com/en/aharon-optimus-tr-bi-xenon-projectors-1.html
Very good detailed video! Subscribed for forsure now!
any video of wireing them and how they look on?
Omg!!! Nice work!!
Very good but ,can you explain about the box and heatgun in some video is very interesting?
Hi, the box is used an oven to heat the headlight. A large cardboard box is used where hot air is blown through a heatgun. Make sure that the hot air of the heatgun does not blow directly to the headlight, place the headlight on small elevations so that the air can circulate properly through the box. We use a setting of 300 Degrees Celsius for 12-18 minutes / 1st lowest setting, depending on the size of the headlight.
@@Retrofitlab ok thanks i need practice this in my headlights, congratulations very nice work,see you in the next video
Stick the housing in the oven at like 250 for about 7 minutes will have the same results. Just be sure you put the headlight on a couple 2x4s and make sure it’s in the center of the oven.
Hi Retrofitlab, random question but what size is that box you use to heat the headlights in? Great work by the way you make it seem to easy.
nice!
Thanks :-)
Solo haces modificaciones a autos del 2005 hacia arriba , qué opinas de modificar las luces de autos antiguos y darle otra vista
Por ejemplo los Toyota ,Nissan , etc
excellent video you could do it with the headlights of the toyota yaris 2001 sedan
Thanks!! :) Maybe later, will keep it in mind!
Классно!!!!!!сделай пожалуйста на Chrysler Pacifica
so nice awesome
Thanks! :-)
Like si viste que se le olvido la mica transparente naranja que le daba una mejor estética
No me gustó la apariencia, todo negro
Lo mas seguro es que usara bombillas leds blancas en las luces direccionales y no quiere amarillo.
My Friend, How are you? Do we paint the inside of the headlight with heat resistant paint? For example, we will paint it black! How is it normally done? Can you please explain? Thanks
Usually it can be done with normal paint from a spray can. But you can also use heat resistant paint, this usually has a nice flat finish. The pro's also use automotive grade 2k spray spaint.

Nice guide guys, well done.
What would you recommend to fit into Honda Civic VIII gen (2007)?
TA!
Centering rings are helping with something ? How adjust the projector ? Thanks and sorry for my english !
But for 2.5 inch are necessary ?
does the factory alignment for headlights unit still work when the lights are retrofit with projectors? and if not, how did you align them
It can be adjusted like before. That's the entire reason for mounting it in the existing reflector.
Hi there, I take it the projector uses a h1 bulb, which is single filament for headlamp only, so where's the main beam? Or does the projector take a h4 or h7?
I think i'm in love :)
I'm straight lol . but its a very good look :)
Nice
Thanks :-)!
thanks, easy work ... may I know what type of sprays you used (color) coz not all colors give good look. tq
great brother, thanks. what about the blub what type can be fixed .. I bought this bulb

sorry I am not sure the links will work or no :)
Hi there thanks for the video I'm very interested, I read in the comments that it comes with a h4 adapter so it's plug and play but what about the ballast?
2 questions. Can you adjust the projectors once installed? Im doing this to a truck in the future and it will be epoxied in unlike your video which is screwed on. Are there little adjusters on the projector itself?
+Retrofitlab well its gonna suck having to epoxy the projector right the first time. I have to trim the back a bit since it wont screw like yours. i found the how to nut didn't mention adjustment.
Como se llama la herramienta que utiliza para cortar?

Does the 3.0 will fit on the Em1 headlights??
And what size of bulb fit the 3.0?
Thanks.
What is the spray you paint the chrome parts with before using black spray paint?
We used a primer first :)
i have a 97 civic that im looking to retrofit seeing as how i have to get new headlights for it to pass inspection what kit would you recommend for my car and i live in the US thanks in advance
My car have the big holes for the h4 bulbs like this Civic, could I use the Morimoto H1 or only Mini D2S??? HELP!
very detailed, Love it, I was just looking for this only. Thanks Brother
Can u plz do a vid how to wire them in
its literally plug and play with the morimoto kit
could i but theese and take a part and paint and tint the reflector and led? what did you use to take off the crome and paint
I got quoted for a D2S 4.0 , halos, painting the housing and the harness/install done for $800 on a 2007 Honda Ridgeline. Would you say that price is pretty steep or justified? I understand as a business you want to make twice the materials cost but it still seems like a lot.
David Cardenas That’s definitely a lot, how much were the parts?
What Black paint do you use on these? @Retrofitlab
День добрый а можно как то больше изменений с данной моделью авто
Sorry English maybe? Google translate can't make much of it :)
So where can I learn to wire all the high beams stuff?
Me gustaría saber cómo haces la conexión para h4, para que quede funcionado cuando se hace el cambio de luz
The best way is to connect the ballast with this cable: www.retrofitlab.com/en/wires/h4-diode-1.html
@retrofitlab do you guys have any kit for 2011 scion xd?
Can you pease tell how repair bi xenon hid projecter dim and bright cap problem and how to fix that
can you make a video how to connect the harness?
Hello, after alot of research I heard I need a projector and to retrofit unless I want to blind everyone, and I dont want that! What size projector would fit a 2003 honda civic ex?
Can u plz tell me how i can connect wired of my light. My light have a three wires ?
hey buddy, what's the stock bulb type fitment? I see that most projector uses H4/H7 adapter before screwing the projector into place, what if the bulb type is not H4 or H7? Mine is H11.
Retrofitlab thanks for replying so quickly. is it because the bolt thread is not long enough to be out from the housing? or the diameter is not big enough?
Does the shrouds don’t fit without trimming it?
No they won't. You need to trim them in order to make them fit.
have you tried this with the original (oem) headlights? it should be the same process right?
Do I have to change the 9006 bulbs to h4?
Do you guys have shrouds with halo lights? If so which ones?
Hello how are you asked if you have done any optics of a Ford Focus mk3 model 2017 and up
Sorry we did not perform this retrofit yet..
Retrofitlab can you make a video for Fiat Stilo plz
what type of projector did you use for this em2 headlight assembly
This is Koito Q5 projectors. Like mine.
i am planing my nissan rogue 2018 model. have you done any what size should fit?
thank you
How you know from which side is the projectors left and right?
The projectors are identical, there is no left or right side :)
At what temperature you heated the light and by using what
In general, 2 methods are used, with both methods, be careful and patient. Method 1 is using a regular oven. Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius. When ready, switch off the oven and place the headlight inside. Make sure that the headlight is not touching any metal of the oven by placing a cloth over the grid, for example. Leave the headlight in the oven for 10-15 minutes before opening it. If the headlight kit is not yet soft enough, put the headlight in the oven for a bit more time.
Method 2 is suitable for larger headlights that do not fit in a regular oven, or if your lovely wife absolutely does not allow car parts to be baked in her kitchen. A large cardboard box is used where hot air is blown through a heatgun. Make sure that the hot air of the heatgun does not blow directly to the headlight, place the headlight on small elevations so that the air can circulate properly through the box. We use a setting of 300 Degrees Celsius for 12-18 minutes / 1st lowest setting, depending on the size of the headlight.
what type of glue is used to seal the lighthouse?
What brand of sealant did u used ?thanks.im from philippines😊

Can you retro fit Acura Rsx lights? With S2000 projectors?
Can you please do a s70 head light convertion
Perhaps in the future :) Please stay tuned to our RUclips channel!
Try with a Sonata LF 2015
Maybe in the future.. Keep posted to out channel :)
is this compatible with l.e.d bulbs? or do you have to fit them as well?
We don't advise to use LED bulbs in the projector because light output and pattern is usually quite bad. Examples here;
www.retrofitlab.com/blog/h1-led-versus-xenon-mini-h1-projector/
any idea how to dismantle tail light lens??
What materials aside from the box do you need to make that box?
Hate to bother you again, I wanna know what cylindrical item did you use where you placed the heat gun? And what items did you use to hold the headlight in place inside the box? I saw previous comments where you’re emailing people about how to make the box can I get those instructions too? Highly appreciated thanks :)
Thanks a lot 👍🏻, love your videos btw.
You guys have any for the 2004 civics?
i have nissan rogue headlight has leds around the side. is it ok to heat the lens. does it get damage during heating process?
It is ok.. Just don't heat them for too long :)
thank you
do you guys ship international ?
Wat is the size of your projector assembly 2.5 or 3.0
Hi it is 2.5 projector
Is 3.0 fit in thjs
Hi, what spray can did you use? Thanks!
Normally a heat resistant paint or even normal paint can be used, but preparation etc is dependant on the the specs by the manufacturer of the paint.
Does the blackening have any effect on the projected light?
For low and high beam it won't, because the Aharon bi-xenon projector is used and the reflector part isn't used to reflect the light anymore.
Thank you for the reply.
I thought so but I wasn’t sure. You cleared all my doubts.
Thank you.
can you use 2.5. mini set on 1998 civic
Muito bom!
Thank you very much :)
how much it coast to do it if i bring my car to you i have civic ?
You didn't show how to aim the lights before put the housing and cristal back together, the cut off line should be perfectly horizontal don't you thing so?
Ok now imma make mines ;-) thank you for the video
You forget the orange piece of t-signal 😂
😯😶 You are right.. Very perceptive of you.
I’m an electrical of cars😘 never forget these things

Sorry, I don't think we will performing a retrofit for it soon.
so you can't use regular halogen H4 bulb with a lens, can you?
No, the bi-xenon projector can't hold H4 halogen bulbs. The high beam function is handled by the projector instead of the the bulb.
What bulbs are used?

fosse facile così aprire un faro originale a quest'ora avrei aperto un'impresa
+Retrofitlab I try to open my original peugeot 206 headlights with your method but after 10 minutes of warm air glue was very hard. :( now i'll try with depo headlights
