So i was watching Salt and figured I should catch up on some mods I've been meaning to do.


So I Started my retro...

How she was...

























After watching Salt twice (spent a little more time watching the movie than the retro). She was all done. Shrouds in Flat black. Morimoto Minis. 35w 6K.

Part wished I put some angel eyes, or some LEDs in there, but for now I'm happy. That bleed off isn't that apparent in real life, I think my camera picked it up more.

It's wired up like stock so I flip the high beams both go selenoids flip. I have a little aiming to do and she's golden. Just felt like sharing.

Like it! I love the "I was watching Salt and realised there must be something better I could be doing with my life" too

Was it an easy enough job?

MDeezy

LOL!! It wasn't that bad of a movie but I put it on cause I felt a bit bored.

Yes it was a much easier job than I expected. I had put off doing it because I thought more was involved. This is a bolt on affair. You'll spend more time with the wiring than mounting the projectors. Once it is installed you can still use the stock methods for aligning and you are golden!

I highly recommend this. I see much better at night, no more " you've got a head light out mate!" statements!

I've you're thinking of do it I suggest doing it.

It looks like a whole new bike. I did the same thing to my bike but I also have the halos. I also suggest doing this also. Night time riding is so much safer.

Hey, I would also like to do this to my bike... Where did you get the light and how did you remove the solenoid?

MDeezy

Thanks! She feels like a new bike. Night riding is so much better now!


From this website:

Bi-xenon: Morimoto Mini H1 4.1 - HID Projectors from The Retrofit Source Inc

They are the morimoto mini. You'll need H1 HIDs.

How did I remove which solenoid?

vuvo2002

I meant the cover to get to putting in the morimoto mini... Did you just used a heat gun?

MDeezy

Baked it in the oven @200 for 15 min. Use a flat head and flip back the tabs and gently pry and it will come off pretty easy.

vuvo2002

Ok, I have a busted light so I'll see if that'll work. And the morimoto... What kind did you buy? And how much did it costs? And is it all just plug and play?

MDeezy

Thats the name of it Morimotor mini bi-xeon projectors. Its the link I posted in my last post. Thats the exact one. Bolt on.

here is a video I found that simplied it and this is what pushed me to do it while I was watching salt. I thought I had to cut drill, mount ets..

looks good, i have 10k in my car i think i wanna put 10k on my bike too though haha

MDeezy

thanks. 10k! wow I have 6k and it feels just right. 10K will be insanely bright!

ryan11ninja

Thanks man... Time to do mine. Lol. I'll post here if I get it done properly.

I got mine off eBay for like $200. They are bi xenon and they come with halos built into the projectors. It comes with everything you need to install and ride. I hooked up my halos as my daytime running lights but you can have them wired up to a toggle or rocker switch. It comes with instructions and you can choose I think between 6000k and 8000k for the hids and there are a bunch of colors you can choose for the halos. Just search zx6r projectors in eBay. You can also google images.
