Projector retrofit question - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #63528 7 posts Started by bccentaur3
I am on a budget so I figured I could do some h7 projectors for a retrofit over the good stuff. The problem is the projectors are meant for high beams. Would I still be able to use this as my lows on the Celica?

I wouldnt think that it would be a good idea. The cutoff is what controls the light output on your headlamp. maybe you could make your own cutoff shield but i dont think it would be very easy to obtain a proper cutoff. there is no improvement over your stock headlamps if you dont have the lowbeam shield.
as he said, the cut-off is missing or completely different on high beams, I guess you could modded for low beam output, but why not just look a little more and find HID low beam projector ?
No money. Just wanted to try a budget retro-fit

for a tight budget go a local junkyard and buy some busted headlamps from a Lexus, Cadillac, nissan and others than came with HIDs from factory, if the headlamp is defective they won't ask much for them and all you care is the projector itself.
you sir are right. I'll check out the junk yard tomorrow.
