![]() What this also allows for is not having to rig up an adjustment system for rotation, horizontal and vertical adjustment of the light. Just have to adapt it to fit those mounting holes. This means just about any 3" projector will fit in here. This is actually very surprising to me and very good news for retrofits. You can see the mounting holes in the shroud here. Won't have any problem getting an HID projector to fit the shroud opening. So you could push the shield a little forward to get more light in your low beam. I believe this is to adjust the cutoff shield. ![]() Now here's that curious black torx screw again. The entire shield is pushed forward and down for the high beam. View of how the solenoid/cutoff shield works. Probably from my background in theatre/ballet lighting.Ĭouple shots of the projector bowl incoming No small black torx screw on this side.įresnel lenses are generally hated in the retrofit world as it blurs your cutoff, but I've always had a special love for them. I'll mention the smaller black one later. Projector is held to the shroud by 4 Torx 25 screws. It's very easy to avoid if you're paying attention.Ĭlose up of the solenoid (bottom) and power plug for the solenoid (black box above that) You'll notice one of mine broke, that's simply because I was rushing and being careless. The shroud is held in at three points with simple ball and socket fasteners. So to remove the projector, we also remove the shroud. The projector itself is actually attached to the shroud. Pictures to follow, with explanations below. So let's get on with it with my progress thus far!Īfter quite a while of screwing around with the endlessly frustrating permasealed headlights, I finally got in to the goodies. Removing our stock bi-halogen projector and installing in its place a projector actually designed for HID bulbs. So enter the world of an HID projector retrofit. Not as much of an offense as putting HIDs in halogen reflectors, but we can still do much better. Now, for reason that I go through in great detail in this thread, putting an aftermarket 9006/9012 HID kit into our stock bi-halogen projectors is just plain wrong. I'm not in a huge hurry here, and there hasn't been a single well documented fiat 500 retro ever, so I'm in uncharted territory here. I just want to preface this by saying this could end up taking a few months.
