I opened up the factory lights to change the lenses found some other issues.
Eyelids, plastic is crispy but a replacement piece seems impossible to find. I’m thinking of using a high quality led strip light possibly RGB. They do make them with amber turn lights too. They give priority when amber and turn off the main color.
projectors: found out they are bi-xenon with an actuator. Buddy and I tried but couldn’t figure out how to or if coding it was possible. So I tapped off the high beam wire. Now high beam activates bi-xenon and led bulb. Checked and the same does t freak out. No error. Curious how this is gonna look in the end.
im thinking of replacing just the projector glass. It looks a tad hazy but the reflector is not burnt. I’m also gonna try cleaning with rubbing alcohol and testing. Any suggestions would be great.
harness is toast. Shielding is as fragile as a college campus. Could only find a replacement for regular not xenon. I’m thinking of finding someone to redo it or making one myself. any suggestions were to find a replacement?
also any other tasteful mods while I’m in here? I don’t want after market **** and ugly Depos. And I want to maintain the oe look as much as possible.
tha is!
