and could you also give me the web links to the projectors and relays and all that other stuff ? i'm really thinking i'm going to do this ! and how much were those oracles that you got ?

Amazon, led concepts. They havent actually made a kit for the H3 but i'm working with them to make one. But it all worked out because the halos fit around my projector shroud.

there was a shop that was going to do it for you ?
theres a shop around here that does things like this, and out of curiosity I asked them.

That would be sick if they started making a kit !

Honestly I think you should go with the retrofit source's new XB Led halos, they're like plasma oracles but they change colors (a full circle no individual l.e.d.'s)

I'm going to try and order everything next week maybe

Once you use xenons, you'll never want anything else. Give them a down bias when you aim them so you don't blind oncoming drivers; that's why OEM xenons are self-leveling by law.

Output shots these things are bright! And the cut off is just enough so that I don't blind people

Very nice. You should include the link or part number of the kit you use for future reference for other folks

I've had HID, and projection lights, but nothing comes close to the JW Speaker 8700's I had on my Jeep LJ!!!! I so wish we had just standard 7inch round lights!!! I'd be running some Trucklite or JW's in a heartbeat. JW just released a Gen II 8700 with almost double the output!!! Pricey LED's but you get what you pay for.

Great output on your setup and good job.

Bump, to add some important information. Add some di-electric grease between the bulb and the back of the lockring to avoid moisture in your heads/fogs.

I think I'll be doing this soon, the area I moved to has hardly any ambient lighting for nearly the entire city! The rolling hills and massive dense bushes and forests block most lights unless you are in the down town core

You should start making these. Have the buyers send you their old housings so you have revolving stock of housings to convert. ;-)

that's not a bad idea. retrofitting isn't that hard when you know what you're doing. plenty of shops do it full time. there's lots of people (like me) that are too scared to do it themselves.

If someone were to send me their headlights i'd take care of it for a good price, But I would be scared if I screwed up their stock headlights up some how.

What would you want to do it if I send you all the parts? I'm getting ready to redo my heads and fogs and have been thinking of something like this but with just the white halos.

I'd probably charge 200$ for labor, but I honestly never want to retrofit again. It's a pain in the ass man.
