'09 Sierra head light high performance HID projector build

[sand man]

update!!

i thought about the mounting method , what to chose from , the cheap and easy epoxy/silcone rote or the better JnC method..

i wint with the JnC , the adjusting option is always appricated.

no more jokes about my toe...

i cleand the housing from the old robber PITA, for any one that will use this as a "how to" heat the rubber with a heat gun and use a small flat blade screw driver,and a wide paint removeing blade

set the projector temporarly to adjust and mark the drilling holes

drilled the holes and monted the two " L" braket on the bottom of the projector using 8 mm to adjust the beam hight

this is how i used the bolt

nut
washer
rubber grommet
L bracket
=housing=
rubber grommet
washer
bolt head

here i did the upper mounts/ adjusters i used 10mm bolts with 80mm length

here is the upper adjusters/mounts setup

10mm bolt x 80 mm length
projector
coil spring
10mm washer
housing
10mm washer
10mm nut
10mm nut

i might add another nut cause the first 2 can be moved easy

here is a back view of the projector and adjusting bolts

testfitting to make sure it fits with no probs with the otter reflector

[sand man]

updates on next post

 

[sand man]

the last two days were dusty...and hot so i couldent work..here is what has been done..

because the housing will show and i wont cover it with acrilic or chrome

i paintd it with a primer and then gave it a mate black color

as for the outer reflector.. i cleared it and removed the chrom with sand paper and coverd the parts that i want to leave chrome

result

just to see what it looks like...ugly

mounted

shrouds on

here it is...im not finished yet still needs adjusting the beam..im happy with the outcome

as you can see from the pics if finishd only one side ill do the other tonight by gods willing...
also ypu can see if u foucs on the projectors that they arent aimed the same way

here

the lower ones will be operated through a switch just for boosting light on dark roads and such i think a pair will do enough

here is the beam pattren of one side with bothe upper and lower turend on at 50ft this is without adjustment( they are aimed way down than they should

hope you like it..
