850 Black Projector Headlights

Recommended Posts

I made these custom projectors last fall by taking stock 850 headlights, gutting them, and implanting the heart of Honda CRX projectors bought off of eBay. I then bought plastic headlight lenses and defluted the area in front of the projector and polished it until clear. I bought the HID kit from Adrian on here with 7000k H3's. The corner lights are aftermarket clear lights smoked with VHT Nite Shades. The lenses have a clear plastic covers to protect them from stone chips and road debris.

View from the rear with all the wiring. The light has Halo's and City Lights, but they kept blowing a fuse so I never hooked them up.

Parts involved in building:

Volvo 850 Headlights $200

CRX Black Projectors $180

HID Kit $220

Corner Lights $60

Plastic Lenses $100

Lens Covers $40

Total invested approx $800(god, that seems like alot...) plus about 20 hours of work

HID's have been run for about 1500 miles, and have a great blue color to them at certain angles. It is amazing the amount of white light they put out and illuminate the road. The high beams have Silverstars in them.

The drives side lens was broken in my accident in March, and has since been replaced with a brand new plastic lens. I have not defluted it yet, but can tell you how to easily do it.

New lens. (has waterspots from wiping it off right before the pics)

Asking price on these right now:

HID Kit $150 plus shipping

Smoked Corner Lights $45 plus shipping

Projectors ($520 invested) $300 plus shipping

It would be nice to sell this all as one, so my discounted price for that is 10% off the total which comes to right about $450.

As always, all my stuff is OBO, so feel free to PM me. I get a discount on UPS shipping at work, so my prices for that are fairly reasonable.

Smoked Turn signals are oem right? Also the Hid kit includes everything for plug and play application? What Kelvin are the bulbs. I know you said blue at "certain" angles.

reading is your friend :)

Thanks Oreo, that's alot of stuff to read... They are not OEM, but in my opinion the same quality if not better. And yes, they are 7000k bulbs.
