Default H2 Headlight Projector

Finally installed my headlight projector. Now i'm comfortable driving at night with good visibility and without blinding oncoming traffic.

I've used Morimoto FX-R 3.0 projector, Apollo 3.0 shroud and 55W AC HID kit with D2H ceramic base 5000K bulb. Painted with Rust-Oleum matte high heat paint.

I'm happy with the way it came out especially with the cut-out. Here's some pics and road test vids. The video doesn't do justice with the light output.

I watched the whole video. 8 minutes man, you're killing me! But, it was good to see how they performed driving around. Those are so much better than the stock housings...

When your highs kicked on, I thought you switched on your fogs. Those are really impressive!

Thanks for posting this.
I see projectors on a ton of other newer vehicles, but wasn't sure how well they worked in comparison to the stock H2 headlights. Talk about a contrast!

I know you've been through a few different headlight setups. Is this your favorite or will you consider upgrading again?

SK, glad you liked my 8 mins vids...lol! To be clear, those we're not the high beam instead it's the 4 Hella roof lights. I did test the high beam at the end of the video though and it's great.

This is the last headlight setups that i will ever need for this truck and i'm quite happy with the result. I actually installed XSB 2.0 halos inside the projector shroud that worked with the DRL but, after ON for 5 mins. some corner of the halos won't light up anymore and i don't want to dismantle the headlight anymore so i just disconnected it.

cutting off the headlight housing and the bucket to almost half to fit the massive morimoto fx-r 3.0 projector. i still have to find a way to completely seal the back of the projector as i do take my truck off road.

If you can, post some pics of how you sealed it.
