jnderr Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here are the results of my first projector retrofit using 3" Bosch projectors from an 2004+ S40 and 5000k HID's I got from Torquesteer. Thanks to SPANKY for donating the passenger side headlight. Given the lack of clear headlight glass for S70's and trying to keep the costs down I opted for new DOT glass from lampsandlenses.com. Not having clear lenses also helps hide the flaws I also chose to black the housings while I was at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Jewel Lenses? Or what about ABM glass? It looks odd with the fluting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnderr Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 hey R bumper ... get cracking lol Getting there... we all don't have sugar mammas. Sanding down the flutes has crossed my mind, perhaps when I have a little more spare time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnderr Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 just get some hookers n blow n you should be able to sand both in a day Are yours plastic or glass? S70 lenses only come in glass unfortunately making defluting no small task. I know Jeremy (exexpat) did it a few others, I've heard around 8 hours per lens and thats just the area around the projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It would be so worth it, not only for cosmetics, but light output would be as it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPTDoh Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Jewel Lenses? This. Looks good, though. Wish I had the time to do a retrofit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Pretty sure that Ben got those from me, and I got them from Danny. Those things are like the VS hooker, everybody gets a ride. Looks good John, but do something about the lenses for your light output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilled man Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 you cant just buy jewel lenses you have to buy the whole fucking headlight at $220 each so its either sand or just leave it the way it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
