Default DIY: Bi-xenon retrofit into your stock plastic headlights!

Here is a recent project I did involving the stock US plastic lens headlights. The final tally was only $54!
$20 Mini H1 projector
$10 projector shroud
$14 butyl sealant
$10 F5 ballasts & H1 bulbs



Light output is worlds better than what stock came with, and still an improvement over Depo's or DJ Auto's. This is much lighter weight than the glass projectors too, if that is important to you. Hope you enjoy this video DIY and subscribe to my YouTube channel for more DIY/racing content!

Nice write up. Would this also work with the oem euro hella lights? (has glass housings).Picked up a set while vacationing in Greece a few years back.

If they come apart the same way as the plastic ones do, surely! I have no experience with glass headlights though...
