QuoteCrooster Does the single projector bulb give you high beams as well? I ordered bi-xenon (low & high beam function) projectors which require some additional wiring (not worth the extra work). You can get the regular projector and keep the existing second halogen light bulb (it's located in the bottom half of the reflector dish) for high beam use.

From before (top) to after (bottom) , sorry about the quality I could not find the digital pictures. I have more of all the work involved. If you search YouTube "retro fit headlights" you'll get an idea of what's involved.

For about $10.00 (US) you can buy the mesh at any hardware store and just trim it to the size of the opening, a couple of screws to hold it in place and your done.

to reset everything and guest what it worked. Cheap fix if it works for you too. Since I took the terminals off, I cleaned everything and put the charger (low setting) on the battery overnight. FYI: You will need the radio code since it will be reset too. Good luck, Carlosby Naples986 - Main Forum
