2K1 CCS RETROFIT w/ 'FX-R' 50W-DDM DL50 R8-LED

My HID adventures began many months ago when I was looking to improve on the factory HID System.

a) My very first upgrade was new bulbs from TRS but as things prooved, that wasnt enough.

b) Came across JVXs site where he showed me how to mod my A6 Projectors.
That followed with new E30 Lenses and custom shields but in the end the width was still nowhere near where wanted it.

c) Got my hands on RX-NON AFS as thats waht JVX recomended for my project. Swapped out lenses and created few different custom sheilds but even that wasnt enough, so with that I had nice width but not enough intensity.

d) Got some 50W DDM Ballasts to go with the project but then some people were comparing the DL50 with the boosted 85122s and the difference was amazing, so after short while I dropped the cash and bought some DL50s.

e) My RX DL/50 setup was bright but halogen high beam just didnt cut it and seeing how Matt rolled out the FXRs, I was sold, and then proceeded with 2 pairs which were intended for a quad setup but then lack of space and complexity had me split the one pair and make a second set of Mercury Headlights a topic of which you can find around here.

f) Finaly I found a set of new headlights and decided to do one of my best retro wtih the best possible materials etc... non of that hack job type of stuff... and with that I arrive here.


The Parts List:
FX-R Projectors
DDM Ballasts
DL50 Color Shifted Bulbs
48cm LED Strips (White)
2 BiXenon Logos (TRS)
H7 PnP Hid Kit for High beams
or H7 Silverstars... wiring Dependant.

The headlights were taken apart, the front shroud will soon be painted and reinstalled with the LED strip.

The FXRs have been installed and sadly I didnt use any of the mounting holes.
I had to notch the side of the projector to make room for a bolt that pulls the upper part to the OEM mount.
Otherwise the entire projector assembly can be supported by the bottom moutn which is nothing more then a L shaped Alum Extrusion secured to the OEM mounting holes and using the bottom bolt on the High Beam Solenoid to secure the projector itself.

This is what the OEM Carrier with the FXR installed looks like.

OUTPUT of the FXR

Here is the outter piece with the LEDs mounted...

This is the finished result of my final headlight retrofit...

The headlight contains a BiXenon FX-R Projector purchased from TheRetrofitSource, as well as the LEDs and the BiXenon stickers...

The outer shroud was painted flat black and the LEDs were mounted along the outline of it, the path I chose made the most sense as the LEDs were not long enough to go besides the turn signal area...

Here are some of the final pictures.
