  1. I didn't realize I never posted the results of my projector retrofit. My original reflectors were borderline dangerous at night and trying LED bulbs in them only made things worse (no light on the road, glared oncoming traffic). I used Morimoto Mini D2S 5.0 bi-xenon projectors with Morimoto ballasts, round chrome shrouds and standard Osram D2S bulbs. I didn't paint the reflector bowl as I prefer a more OEM look. I may upgrade to Osram Lasers at some point in the future (or M-LED projectors) but for now this is more than enough light, better than most new cars. The only downside is that flashing your high beams causes the ballasts to quickly cycle on/off which wears them down, so I try to avoid doing that. This is my 4th retrofit and by far the easiest. Original headlights are super easy to take apart, they need minimal modifications to fit the projector and the only real drawback is that nothing prevents the projector from rotating, so adjusting the cutoffs is a bit of a pain.
