Sure wish you guys would do some vids on wiring...I'm working on a 2002 bmw e46 that had all the wiring yoinked up by the previous owner..been working my way slowly through that spaghetti mess.. wonder it ever worked!!

[@RetrofitSource]

When you say wiring do you mean just general wiring or cleaning up wiring to make it neater? For neater wiring the solution would be Tesa tape. Any runs of wire that go through the same area just group them together and wrap them with tesa tape, zip tie them off to OEM wiring if possible.

[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

@@RetrofitSource would be nice to see the order of wiring. Example from headlight bulb to wire A then from B, goes to wire C, to relay, to ballast etc.

[@The_Bandit_750]

Miss these vids

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

great video these morimoto mini d2s 4.0 is what is going into my retrofit for my 2000 4runner sport edition thanks for the helpful video

[@dasarge84]

JB weld for the win such versatile stuff I reccamend high temp just to be safe

[@RetrofitSource]

We love that stuff!

[@bobbyshaftoe]

Nice safety glasses... ;-P

[@RetrofitSource]

Always! ;)

[@MrUfinished]

Awesome

[@justjayjustjay5054]

Question... Seeing that you recommend JB Weld on the shrouds. What if I buy all my products from you, and somewhere down the road, a component malfunctions and then i need to take apart the light to get to/replace the component. Won't I have to break the shroud off the projector at this point?

[@RetrofitSource]

The projector would come out the front side of the headlight, no need to break the shroud off.

[@ruiz1996h]

I’m planning on retrofitting the Mini H1 into a 2015-18 F150 headlight, and would really help if y’all could do a mini H1 installation video.

[@GuitarInformer]

the mini d2s is a superior product, TBH, look up Lightwerkz's video comparing the D2S 4.0 vs H1 7.0, the D2S is just better

[@ruiz1996h]

Agravatedardvark I know the 4.0 is better but this will be my first retrofit and mini H1 is better fitment with no cutting I believe than the D2S.

[@mujjuman]

I believe they have a video uploaded of an install in a Civic housing. Check it out. The method is 99% the same anyway. Did you finish your retrofit yet?

[@ruiz1996h]

mujjuman yes about 3 weeks ago

[@mujjuman]

Hector how did it turn out?

[@rudydaberry122]

I would like to use a d2s projector but I see that the threading shaft is a lot wider then mini h1. My headlights are h7 so would retrofitting a d2s projector not be possible because of how wide the threaded shaft is?

it is possible to install projectors in chevrolet malibu 2007

[@richardgibbs00]

is it most to lower the base for the lock ring to fit? or with the lock ring tool it possible to tighten down

[@RetrofitSource]

What do you mean by lower the base? If you could let me know, I would be happy to help you get this issue resolved!

[@richardgibbs00]

@@RetrofitSource the extra material on the back of the reflector. Is it a must to remove it. Also the H4 alignment ring does that make the projector point straight. Thats why i was wondering if the extra material on the reflector needs to be trim down

[@richardgibbs00]

hi. doesnt the h4 washer helps the rotational alignment. if the shaft has a groove cut out and the washer fits in place how can the rotational alignment change or move. doesn't the washer hold it in place?

[@RetrofitSource]

Yes, it does help stop the projector from rotating, however, there is still some room for it to rotate.

[@richardgibbs00]

@@RetrofitSource the detail that you removed with the belt sander. is it a must to remove it? and if i dont cant it still ne tighten down

[@M.R.1985]

Hi. After installation bixenon lense inside reflector house and fix it i have a bit vibration when car is in driving mode! Damping ring installed in it but i saw vibration.what do i do!?

Algún vídeo de retrofit para Jetta mk4 ??

[@gio8669]

I search for golf mk4. 😓.. Nothing

[@xclusiveplayer]

Some cars have reflector bowls that are impossible to remove making the job allot harder.

[@RetrofitSource]

That's for sure. Some headlights are super easy, Others not so much!

[@BogusQuacky]

a rotary tool will make anything fit ;)

[@gio8669]

It s similar for the vw golf mk4?

[@amjathkhan2004]

Hey, can you please tell me where the solenoid cables need to be connected to? Mine is a H4 setup and the projectors came with two solenoid wires each, so not really sure if they are meant to be connected as it is or I need some kind of 'female' connectors?! Thanks!!!

[@RetrofitSource]

You would need a harness like this, which would have the necessary outputs for the ballasts and the solenoid cables to activate the high beams: www.theretrofitsource.com/wiring/relay-harnesses/motocontrol-bi-xenon-h4-9003.html

[@FarhanKhan-do7rz]

[@nooraltaie5661]

guys what size of projectors and shrouds do i need for regular 2016 f150 headlights?

[@mujjuman]

hi bro can you tell morimoto to make the threads on the shaft a bit longer on the Mini D2S 5.0

[@RetrofitSource]

We can, but ultimately its a constraint between optics & being able to fit a D2S igniter on there. They're at their extent now. If you need something longer, we suggest the Morimoto MLED

[@mujjuman]

TheRetrofitSource Inc thank you! That’s a very good point about the igniter. I tried the MLED but it was too big for my housing to use the threaded shaft method. I’m now guessing that the MD2S and MLED are similar in size. I finally went with the MH1 7.0 and I’m loving it! But I’d like to try the MD2S in future projects that I have coming up.

[@RetrofitSource]

Surely, how come you need a longer shaft anyways? Can always trim down the housing just like we've demo'd in this video, right?

[@mujjuman]

TheRetrofitSource Inc True, that's a good point. I never did it because I wanted to do the least amount of cutting possible because I didnt want to mess anything up. I dont have a belt sander either, but now that you mention it, it's something I could totally do for my next projects. Video guides like this are very helpful and give amateur guys like me some confidence.

[@Entertainmentinc1]

didn't even clean the reflector on oem headlight what a shit install

[@RetrofitSource]

Definitely a shitty install, but only for demo purpose here. These weren't going on a car.

[@tonyv2645]

he did mention it several times that if this were to go into a car he would clean it and strongly suggests you make sure it is clean when you do it.
