Which Bi-LED Projector Retrofits?

Post by NafemanNathan » Thu Sep 27, 2018 9:49 am

After exploring a few other avenues I think I'm going to go down the Bi-LED Projector route. Question is, which Bi-LED Projector?

Ideally I want to source them from the UK, mostly because they're more likely to be RHD (I don't want to void any warranties because I've had to take them apart).

These are a few I've found...

http://emtuning.co.uk/shop/bi-led-morimoto-m-led-rhd/

https://www.xenonz.co.uk/store/p519/LED ... -retrofits

https://www.motology.co.uk/products/pur ... s-of-cars/

The Morimoto ones have a great reputation, but I'd like to avoid paying that much. The other two which I know little about have much more appealling prices.

Can anyone else share any "light" on the subject? ;)

Head over to retrofit source. I got mine from there. You can select rhd.
Mine are older infinity fx-r no xenon projectors.
The morimoto fx-r mk3 are smaller and much more advanced.
Should be cheaper as a full kit including your style of shroud.

My van had led lights and the s660 has led lights. On the van they are superb. I know vans are higher compared to the preludes bi xenons but it literally is daylight driving at night.
Main thing with led projectors is they need to spread the light properly and need big heatsinks. Lucky the back of prelude lights are nice and open.

Glad to see you've finally admitted your bi tendancies, Nafe.
