V-LEDs Projector Headlight Install

[helf]

wow, I'm doing this as soon as I can. The stock lights are pretty anemic and I've been wanting something better. This is fantastic. Thanks for the great info.

nice write up..
I thought about doing this about a yr ago but dont plan on
using aftermarket Projectors. They are tend to be not engineered
as well as OEM stuff. And they are all about 20% smaller too.
I compared aftermarket stuff with my factory Projectors on my
Lexus or Svx, both OE stuff is a bit larger diameter, and I know they
have better light output.
So I was going to buy a set of used BMW/Lexus or SVX headlights
pull out the projectors, add some 5k HIDs and possibly take on the
project.
It was either that, or maybe even go with a set of Infinity factory
multi projector headlights and use them for the conversion.|
To me, this is would be a worthwhile swap

I had OEM projectors on my last car Mazda RX-8 and they were very nice, put out a lot of light, but this specific kit from V-LEDs is larger and puts out far more light than those OEM, and the built in hi/low switch that moves the internal shield on this specific kit is much better than the typical OEM halogen hi beams.

Once you get around to spending 5x the time in labor and R&D on your homemade kit we can compare output levels and especially the aiming of the beams which you do not have to worry with this kit ;-) For me this was the perfect solution to wanting some type of projector without the risk of ruining the stock housings with R&D. And it is just a huge plus that you don't have to worry with aiming problems or the hi beam problems that most OEM conversions would have, and the light output is far better than the OEM's I have experienced. Seems pointless to me to put in R&D on something that has already been made to fit, but to each their own :-)
