Serge Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Looks pretty sick Serge.I have a question for you:I just got some projectors and HIDs and plan on starting the retrofit soon. What is the easiest/safest way to test them, apart from actually splicing them into my current headlight wiring? I know it needs to see 12V.←Thanks man!When near the car, I use little aligator clip wires (make sure they are thick enough though) and connect the ballast directly to the battery (car can be off).When at home I use an old AT computer power supply (one of many), the 12V line is perfect to power the ballasts. Just make sure it's a good PSU... I used a crappy one and the ballast started to blink the bulb!//edit: you can actually see my aligator clips and PSU in the first photo to the left of the headlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deltablade Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Trust me, I've been following you.I'm gonna have to hack it up big time, my projectors are pretty fat. 2.5" but the holding arms angle away from the lense and aren't straight back.
