finished S2K retrofit pix on bottom pg2!!



one more pix


i plan to paint it black+clearcoat and cover the projector with the stock s2k bezels.. so basically its going to look all black and silver/grey bezel around the projector

edit: did i mention it will be adjustable with stock level screws

 

it looks great cant wait to see it done. is it just me or is the light kind of pointing to the left. from the bottom pic it looks that way.

 

yeah its pointed to the left... its not in seated in properly but when i screwed down its going to be pointed straight

 

cool i kind of thought that. but you never know. like i said cant wait to see the finshed product. so hurry up with it all ready

 

nice job
whats material you used

 

i used 3/8 mdf... but now i think about it i wonder if its going to get too hot and burn... i doubt it but i need to do some asking now

 

Nice job! im sending mine out to TIGUY99 next week to have the same thing done s2k projectors. I cant wait to see what yours will look like.

 

Mdf, isent that stuff like plywood, it might blister around the projector ring.

 

i went out and bought polymerboard looks like acrylic going to copy over the wood template

 

Hmm nice, I might get some polycarbonate, I think thats what it is called, its the same stuff the headlight reflectors are made out of. Anyway If I do get some there going to be 7x7 inch flat boards, I might use them on my own retrofit.

 

when I was thinkign of my projector mod in the first place I had originally planned for the X5 projectors..... I know you can get sheets of real Carbon Fiber sheets for approx $60 to fabricate some beauty rings to cover the gap. All you need is a real good set of sissors and a dremel to smooth out the edges.... just a thought for you guys doing retro's.....!!! pm me if you have any questions.... or send me a paper/wood template and I can make you a CF set for you.

 

S2000 projectors are very small for GS headlights. In my old retro I have Valeo projectors ( same size as S2000) I have Audi A4 shrouds to cover up empty area around projectors. Without shrouds small size prijectors looks like little dots.

 

Maybe thats what he is going for, small very bright dots

 

-i will have s2k bezels to cover the projectors so its going to look more "full"

-hey vicestan i posted incorrectly i bought polycarbonate boards of 8x10... when i was adjusting the projectors earlier i noticed it got real hot pretty fast..im worried that its not going to hold up against the heat.

 

Josh, do a test , turn your car on and let the 1 projector run for about 30 mins, cover it up so there is no air circulation to simulate actually headligh conditions. I said polycarbonate, but im not sure what its called maybe its that but all I know is the stuff that im supposed to get is the same stuff the reflector is made out of its like a ceremic plastic type of a material. Just do a simple test and then you can be sure.
