    Retrofiting ebay ecodes-halogen to xenon COMPLETE!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    well after a looooong day i am finally done with the conversion putting my stock xenon projectors, bulbs and ballasts into the halogen ebay ecodes. started at about 930am and finished at about 730pm. IMO, well worth it. i worked lesurely and spent a couple hours just waiting for glue to dry. overall i think it was COMPLETELY worth it. i would give it a 5 out of 10 in difficulty. its more so just figuring out the differences between the two sets of lights and how to take them apart and put them back together. enough boring you, onto the pics:

    BEFORE:




    AFTER:







    *Note: i had not adjusted the headlights in either of the pictures showing the beam pattern. thus, the right headlight was a bit lower. dont fret, theyre adjusted and look amazing now.

    Weird - I have the Helix halogen ecodes, and my pattern is a lot different. I guess because I have halogen bulbs.

    nope i didnt. just pulled the cover off the back where you change the bulbs, unscrewed the projector, pulled the retaining clip off, and pulled the projector out. it was kind of like a puzzle because you have to twist and turn it at different angles. but not that hard.

    Incredible dude. Definitely worth it for those who already have OEM xenons but want the blacked out look of the ebay ones. I'll have to check these warlocks out soon.
