Miata barndoor Headlight projector retrofit
Started on my next project
Keeping the barn door headlights but upgrading to bixenon HID projectors.
I'll be using Morimoto Mini H1 bixenon projectors along with the Morimoto 3Five HID kit and vacu-forming a shroud
This is a work in progress thread as i'm currently working in progress
Thoughts please share!
And this is not a "Is it worth it" thread
Yes, bang for the buck is E-codes or bosch lights. So please keep that discussion out of this thread.
Post 2 has the work in progress, current pics of progress in 1st post

per request: costs
$33 - Pilot headlights from Amazon
$270 - Mini H1 projector kit from The Retrofit Source (projectors, bulbs, ballasts, wiring harness)
For the projector setup, it CAN be done cheaper though ("value" projectors from TRS and DDM HID's which should be right around $100 total for projector/HID components)
the only other parts not accounted for is paint, new headlight sealant, and JB Weld
