So this is what happened with my quest to use HID ... by installing the projector on the City
After 2 weeks of deliberation, decided to get the service of this one guy to retrofit this onto the car. He mentioned that this is his last few projects being done out of his home, and they will be moving into a proper shop for projector retrofitting.
In my previous post, i did mention there is several retrofitters in this forum and around KL. The reason i choose him was because they do original Morimoto Projectors.
So this package comes with 2x Morimoto Projectors, 2 Mini Gatling Gun shrouds, 2 red LED for Demon Eye and 2 55w Instant HID ballast(4300k).
Now the installation is really a pain, i have watched numerous videos on Youtube and it looks really easy on Youtube, in actual fact its not. It took a whole 6 hours to install and further 15 minutes to align the projectors beam pattern.
There is several issues with this retrofitter in terms of his workmanship, though he knows what he is doing, but several things he did was shoddy, like cable management and ballast placements. Yet they are still better than the normal accessories shops out there which does even worst. He is willing to take suggestions and work towards it. Though he wasnt that cautious with the handling of items and sometimes he just does it as is, and not take much care in it. Not severe damage but just saying.
Once done, it was only 3PM and wasnt able to align the beam, so was told that i can do it myself or come back when its dark, i did the latter and came back later and he took care of it.
Now i am rather pleased with the work except for the issues above. Went on my way and got back, later did i found out the red demon eye wasn't working. Initially i wanted default option of not smoking the lamps, no CCFL, no demon eye as provided with the other retrofitters. But since this was included without me asking, i just went ahead. Dont really prefer any weird colors on the lens actually.
So back to the demon eye, once i am home, found out its not working, on both sides. The demon eyes is actually split from the pilot light, no wires cut here as he used some form of connector to tap that pilot light cable. So i informed him and was told to go back to let him check, and this was around 1AM.
So i went back and he checked and found out its faulty and its on both side, he found it weird. but i told him its ok, not important for me and let me know what he plans to do. He told me his stock will arrive next week and will replace it for me. If this is the case, means he has to redo the whole thing and re-open the headlamp again. I might not want to do that, but will see.
Forgot to take pic of just the projector, this is with the Mini Gatling Gun shroud
