Retrofit Bi-LED Projector - Inspira/Lancer 08

[@PabloGonzalez-io6pq]

The rubber ring should be inside the headlight, there should be a metal adapter (h4, etc) that goes outside (behind). Every other retrofit is done this way for a reason.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

i did ask the distributor that sold me the parts and they mentioned its supposed to be on the outside to prevent water from going into the headlights. I was using this retrofit for a few months without any issues till my wife crashed my car and i took out the retrofit for almost a year. I just had them installed back the exact same way and still no leak.

[@_the_dare_devil_]

I have the same feeling, I've seen a few retrofit-masters and they've been installing it on the projector.

At 15:00, the orange reflector on the 2008 to 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Sedan, Lancer Evo and Lancer Sportback in the United States and Canada illuminate at night according to American law, but not on the Proton Inspira and some vehicles in Malaysia with orange reflectors such as the new 6th generation Honda CR-V, the 1st generation Volvo XC90, XC60 and 2nd generation S80, most Lexus cars and the 1st generation Jaguar XF from 2009 to 2011. At 26:00, that road in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan is where my family normally uses to and from my father's village.

[@chongsing537]

I thought the rubber ring should be between the projector and reflector to prevent it from sliding. In the end i need to cut a bit of the socket to fit the nut using a dremmel

Hi TC, so glad to find you in KZbin. I am sure you may help me to solve my problem with your expertise in retrofitting head light. Mine is a Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT 2.0 come with projector HID lamp. Recently, I have bought the front headlight on line from China who claimed they are the OEM. But while trying to fit the new light back to the car, we found that there are 2 connection missing. Please advise how can I seek your help.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Odd, usually its the Evo that comes with projector headlights and lancer comes with reflector headlights. You can add me up and message me on FB (TC's AnythingGoes Channel). I will see what I can advice.

[@hamhamable]

Immaculate work! Though I wonder how you managed to do the wiring for the headlight adjuster because I'm sure the Inspira doesn't have an electronic headlight adjuster 😁

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Thanks for your kind words. 2010 and 2011 Inspira already has the wiring for the headlight adjuster. Just needed to get the switch. I think part of 2012 batch has them as well but post that, the wiring was taken out by Proton.

[@bananameowmeow9260]

Hi there , i assume the wiring is just connect to low / high beam negative and positive 4 wires?

[@AutoBane]

Hi Bro, waiting on video about how to change Inspira side mirror to auto-flip like lancer 😃

[@czulroslan4302]

whatt .. u cant touch inside the cover lens bcoz its so sensitif . just a thin layer of silicone. if u have fingerprint on it , u cant be able to remove it anymore . the more u wipe , more damage will occur . most part inside the lamp is sensitive . for example chrome part .

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

I dunno man...... the chrome part is still chrome...... The most important part before sealing it back up is to remove all dirt and oil. I am not sure what damage you are referring to but I am enjoying my bright lights with clear cut off and no glare to others.

[@Bimeerwa]

Two thing, 1. that wight rubber seal is supposed to be bteween the reflecor and projector not behind the screw. 2, is a question, is it better than the halogens you had before? And how much better, like significantly or just a little

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

The rubber seals needs to be behind the screw. If its between the reflector and projector, water can get into the case from the rear. Also, the manufacturer was the one giving the instruction. IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY better than the halogen. Not as bright as the LEDs + Reflector combo but the cutoff of the projectors are just.... SUPERB.

[@Bimeerwa]

@@TCsAnythingGoes thank you so much, for your feedback, it is really nice that you are replying to viewers. Keep up the good work. I ordered them today, I will be installing them in bmw f30 and I guess I will be the first who has done it hehe.

Hey can i ask for ur help putting it on my car

[@deivissoncruzz]

Very good

[@2123sluseter]

How does this compare to original evo x projector? I'm planning to retrofit HID projectors but if the original projector is just as good maybe I can save the time on retrofitting.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Evo X projectors are HID projectors. I would suggest getting a good quality LED meant for your projectors instead of retrofitting.

[@2123sluseter]

Thanks for your reply. My current headlight is running halogen only. Im thinking which one is better if I want to use HID. Not sure to get evo x projector or retrofit aftermarket projector into my headlight.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

ahhhh, got it. Currently on stock lancer headlamps. If you can afford it, Evo X headlamps with LED bulbs. On a budget, retrofit projector into your current headlamps and use LEDs. Retrofitting, you have two options. Option 1 - do like what I did and get a projector with built in LEDs ( clear cut off and less hassle to install ). Downside - if the LED burns, you gotta take the entire headlamp apart to change it. Option 2 - Retrofit a quality projector into the headlamp that uses LED bulbs (non-built in LEDs). This is harder to do but the benefits in the long run is tremendous. You can choose what LEDs you want to put in (color temp and brightness) and if your LED ever burn, you can just change the bulb like how you do with your halogen. Hope this helps.

[@2123sluseter]

Thanks for your input. Evo X lamps are running xenon right? It will be better to convert it to LED? In terms of brightness only, are stock Evo X projectors just as good as retrofitted Xenon/LED? I am leaning towards xenon at the moment because I can replace it easier and I've read that 4300K is good for xenon.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Yes, Evo X lamps are running Xenons. Its definitely brighter than halogens. Evo X projectors are pretty good and definitely better than most retrofits. If you are going for 4300k, then Xenon is the way to go as LEDs normally come on 6000k. Brightness wise, LED (quality ones) beats Xenon by a fair bit. Here is my take: Xenon - has a few seconds start up time to warm up - runs pretty hot without a cooling system - takes in more Watts LEDs - no start up time - runs hotter but comes with a cooling system. Quality ones can be used for years. Cheap ones tend to burn every few months - less wattage for the same brighness - majority only comes with 6000k and above.

[@sunstreamsales646]

On the high beam side, can it fit a 2.5-inch projector lens ?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Yes, but without the shroud. If you want to install with a new shroud, you will need to cut off the reflector for the hi-beam. On the low beam side, there is even enough space for a 3 inch projector.

[@Blackfang_12]

@@TCsAnythingGoes Hey, I just wanna say how great your tutorial is. Something worth mentioning about the low beam side, the stock reflector on Lancers/Inspiras does take well on 3 inch projectors, but since there's a horizontal cut off on top of the reflector, maximum size for the projector shroud will be 12.4cm vertically and 14cm horizontally. Sinolyn"s 3 inch projectors mostly comes with 12.8cm-13.5cm shroud, which will need abit of grinding.

[@goomizar]

Why did you paint that headlight part?, is it necessary to drill the other part?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

The painting is just to black out the chrome portion to make it look nicer. The drilling is not necessary. As I explained in the video, I was converting it from a 9005 mount to 9006 mount.

[@saeidmehriyari1980]

I really enjoyed your video, ok? You did the job nice and tidy, alright? And the results are great, Ok?!😅

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Thanks for your compliment, alright! I need to improve in the sense of using less OK and ALRIGHT..... but its been with me for 30 years so its pretty hard to kick the habit.

[@zhixiangchong4067]

hi, may I know how it performs now? after 1year ++ time

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

It was used for a few months before my wife crashed my car and I took out the projector. Now I have just installed it back a few weeks ago and its still as bright as ever. So I will say after around 6 months of usage, its still good. No water leak as well.

[@i78-u4d]

what size projector you using，can i use 3.0 inch？

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

looking at it, 3 inch is possible. there is enough space to do it.

[@kevinramos5444]

Btw it is 3" inch projector size or 2.5?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

The one I installed in this video is a 2.5 inch. But looking at the space availability, you can install a 3 inch easily.

[@jeffreychong3500]

Hi, this projector is 2.5" or 3" ?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

This is a 2.5 inch. But judging from the available space, a 3 inch would not be a problem.

[@user-jk4bx6zy1g]

is this legal? because i read somewhere that retrofitting is illegal to jpj, have they ever stopped you in roadblocks?

[@faizfauzi6500]

lol . takut kena saman guna standard la macha

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

I have not been stopped before at roadblocks. As a matter of fact, any of my setups have not been stopped at roadblocks before. Cause I ensure whatever bulb or retrofit i do to the cars I own, it does not glare others. That said, if the JPJ officer is really desperate to fill their quota..... they would find any faults. I have personally been stopped and almost fined for my horn being not loud enough..... (i just bought the car new a few months back so it was ridiculous to claim my horn is faulty)

[@ayep13]

Any issue with JPJ for this retrofit?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

So far have been able to pass roadblocks with JPJ without issue. But I been able to pass roadblocks even with my other setups (HID + Ori reflector), (LED + Ori reflector) all these while. When it comes to the hard rule by JPJ, no modification or retrofitting is allowed at all. I have had a friend whom received a letter to go Puspakom for testing cause he changed to Evo X headlights.

13:16 - shouldn't the white rubber be between the projector and the reflector?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

that's what people online are telling me. But the company that sold the kit to me told me otherwise. Been using it for a few months before the car was crashed. But I got it installed back the same way and have been using it for a few months again..... no leak, no overheat. So I am guess both way works.

[@charminbaer2323]

@@TCsAnythingGoes no, you mounted incorrectly. The rubber is supposed to sit between the projector and the reflector.

@@charminbaer2323 cool, the factory that sold me the kit told me to install it where i installed it. Not sure who is correct but i doubt the factory that produces the kit would be wrong. Anyway, been using it since and there is no problem or water leaking.

[@charminbaer2323]

@@TCsAnythingGoes Just look at any other projector retrofit install on youtube and you'll see. The rubber/silicone gasket is meant to reduce any vibrations from the projector making contact with the housing. Also, when you tighten that locking nut on the gasket, you're just tearing into it.

[@wonderboykun]

is there a fan for cooling?

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

Yes, every LED has its own cooling fan. The Bi-LED projector has the fan blowing air out from the back which means any hot air inside the headlight will be suck out thru there. The Novsight LED (that I installed at the hi-beam) has a cooling fan behind it.

[@wonderboykun]

@@TCsAnythingGoes thanks for the info. I thought that model doesn't, just cooling fins. Mine has a fan at the back. i wonder how will the heat escape when the entire headlight assembly is sealed and the dust cap in the rear.

[@TCsAnythingGoes]

@@wonderboykun If its the 9006 ( main beam) then your fans will be outside the headlight assembly. But the 9005 (hi-beam), the fan will be inside the assembly. In my setup, I rely on the bi-led's fan to blow the air out from its rear. I would not trust LEDs with just cooling fins.... these bulbs are hot. And heat is the main enemy of LEDs.

[@wonderboykun]

@@TCsAnythingGoes hmmm... My stock was an H4 retroffited with iPHCar P3 Bi-led projector. The fan is at the back of the projector and just about aligned to the lip of the headlight assembly where the dust cap is fitted. I really can't find where will the heat vents out in this setup :(
