2nd gen LS Projector Conversion

This is my newest project 

Here is a test fit with a damaged light that does not have a projector but it is the same size.

I will be running two sets of HID's main lamp and fog,also a DLR at 100% and use the orange as the turn signal.

are those front jetta head lamps?

mike man, looks so much better than i'd thought when you actually test fitted them. 

hmmm...the verdict is still up in the air...interesting no doubt...finish them up and lets see what they look like...props for doing something different...

........I am different and I don't follow the norm of VIPStyleCars or Clublexus , I go my own route and do all my own work...so keep watching and I will be installing them as soon as I fabricate the brackets and wire harnesses.

That's the cutoff from the reflector correct? Which projector will you be using? TSX, S2K, TL, Q45,...

Here are some pics as I am fabricating the brackets:

...and another:

That's a pretty close fit....how did you know?

That was a pic from the projector, both projectors are Hella.

I carried a template of my headlight in my car for over two years and when I saw a similar shape headlight on a parked car I would place it on top of light...Then I found the Jetta and it was very close ...A guy at work has a Jetta so he open the hood and I took measurements and measured the degrees as it sets in the car...............and one day I drove by a body shop that had a smashed up Jetta and they gave me the stock Jetta headlight........... 

I suggest you switch out that stock projector that comes with that headlight, the cutoff is weak...

Nice progress so far, a nice set of projectors in there with HID's would make it look :coolsmiley:

I love that conversion. What year jetta did they come off?

Thanks and good luck I look forward to the complete fitment

2002 jetta / borla ...Hopefully I can finish it over X-mas vacation.

yeah...run with some other projectors, find some that are close/same size as the projectors you have in there. s2k/tsx(TL)/LS430 projectors are your best bet. if you can get the whole projector/housing then all you need to do is ask for some d2s bulbs when you order your HID kits. go with 4300k as it will give you the whitest lightoutput, yet the cutoff shields will give you that blue hue from faraway.
