Cyrus43 · 24th October 2009, 11:54

I have a niggling feeling that this projector is from a BMW. Am I correct?

amit_mechengg · 24th October 2009, 14:33

nice job, can you please post DIY in process pics and illustrations. this will help all of us

noidaboy · 24th October 2009, 14:38

Well executed for sure.! Superb DIY.

This seems a BI-XENON as its one. The rings can be replaced with CCFL now if you want. This ring wont glow in the day time.

Post some picture of the focus as well

Well executed job. Very neat. Some more pics please and a step by step procedure of how it was done, would be very helpful. Whats the total cost??

aaggoswami · 24th October 2009, 16:02

1) Which car's donor unit is this ? I think its from BMW.

2) What is the cost of :
a) The projector unit/s.
b) Overall cost of the project.

3) Can you please post some shots from inside the engine bay ?

4) Can we have shots on how the throw, spread and intensity of the beam ?

5) What are rating of the bulb you have in this setup.

6) The right and left fog lights have different light intensity. Is the right fog lamp bulb different from left ?
