2010 GT Projector Retrofit

[chutoyy]

Hmm... I think I'm the first one to do a projector retrofit on a 2010 Mustang... So here are some pics.

This took me about two days of working on and off and waiting for nightfall to check progress.

FX-R Projectors w/ clear lenses (theretrofitsource.com)
Gatling Gun Shrouds (TRFS)
35w DDM Tuning 1st Generation "Raptor" Ballasts (Had them laying around/DDM)
6000 K(elvin) D2S HID bulbs (Apexcone/DDM)
Duplicolor Black Trim Paint (Paintscratch.com)
Colormatched L6 Kona Blue Paint (Paintscratch.com)
Red LED "demon eyes" (Oznium.com)

I had left over gutter guard wire mesh from a roof install a few years back, so I used that for the foglight delete; they're a wire mesh that is coated with black paint... I believe Lowe's or Home Depot only sell the plastic mesh style...


Update: Better pics with an actual camera.

Flash on: Notice the hole behind the driver's side foglight mesh... Intake hole! So I have a pseudo-ram-air intake. =]

Flash off:

Pics were taken with an iPhone 4... I couldn't find my camera at the time...

Enjoy my "rice" lights. =]

Pic of cut-off... I took this in the process of aiming the lights; so YES, they are crooked in this picture.

Here's the color....

A hole saw and black trim paint yielded:

Halogen vs. Projector (low-beam)

This is the functionality I'm going for...

Yea, someone who did an HID install the correct way.

Looks neat got any pics of it during the day or in good lighting?

 

[rford426]

It's been done, I've seen a few on here when I did a search...

You can try...
http://www.lightwerkz.net/index.php
http://blackflamecustoms.com/

but these guys charge upwards of $500 not including shipping your OEM lights... and the downtime you'll have w/ your car.

Erm.. White balance is off, my lights are NOT that blue.

Output shots...

Brother, your creativity is awesome....very very nice work....

I really want to do something like that to my car but i dont have the skills to do all that.... great job man...

You would think aftermarket companies would have something as nice as yours btu the only thing i seen is the hallo style headlights wish looks ok but not close to your project...

Thanks. =] I have a foglight retrofit from retrofitsource.com in the works too...

But yeah, I need more skill and resources (read money/time) before I can start making custom lights for Mustangs...

 

[sgbruton]

dude thats crazy good creativity,

and IMO you have the sickest looking 10-11 car all around

 

[eddieval5]

Great Job man you got skills!

 

[Tommydogg]

Looks purely EVIL! You have some skills, you should market them!

 

[chutoyy]

Thanks! =]

I need more practice before I can start making these for people; these are an expensive liability...

 

[NastyStang113]

Very nice!
