I'm going to bring this one BACK FROM THE DEAD

I'm thinking of doing another set because my LED parkers have died.

I have found a few pairs of Honda Euro RHD projectors in the shed - if anone wants them PM me.

Thinking of doing something similar myself - might be needing those Euros for my r32. I want clear covers like sinnersta (and self diffusing reflector case), and want clear HIDs with red angels - or white/reddish HIDs to match red and black style of car. Stockies are crap - cannot see more than 10 metres in front of me and high beam adds 1 extra metre of vision. That's right they are that good. I crave more light.

Do you guys know of an easy simple method for doing this other than simply adding HIDs to the current projectors?

you're going to have to split them open and swap them.

if nothing else the OEM projectors and inside of the lights are probably filthy now and aren't operating optimally.

it looks like the coy doing after market plastic fronts is no longer doing them; you could get a perspex company to mould one from an R32 headlight if you're super keen.

Folks looking at buying a set of morimotos in a kit from here... http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227

Need to find out what wiring harness is required for the R32 GTST type M projector headlights? Also the adapter plate recommendation if possible otherwise I will wait for the headlight to arrive and measure then.

I'm about to do this conversion with a set of Bosch Audi A4 Bi-Xenon projectors - They're the latest spec of the BMW E46 Projectors, with the metal rear end and D3S Bulbs.

I'll also to a dual Hi Beam mod at the same time, so I will be getting the high beam from the projectors as well as the original High Beam center lights. Of note this will be a similar setup to my wife's BMW X5. So I'm hoping for a massive improvement.

Will keep you all posted on how it turns out.

Ok, so finally got around to doing the my Bi-xenon install... Here are some pics of how I went about it. As mentioned above this is one of the lastest versions of the E46 projector, and is common to late model Audis. This is the projector:

As I purchased it from the US, the sheilds suit LHD - see below:

Fortunately this model of projector is relatively easy to modify to suit RHD, but you have to be handy with a die grinder and have a fair amount of patience.

To do the mod, firstly I removed a shield, traced it onto a thin sheet of alloy and cut out two copies of it with a die grinder.

If you look closely at the image above I have tapped two holes near the top - which enabled me to screw the new projector to this bracket (in the reverse orientation).

If you compare the modified projector with the stock one below, you will see that the projector is positioned forward of the bracket almost the exact same amount as stock, and as such it fits into the headlight, without any modification to the stock headlight surround.

The below image shows how I've screwed the projector to the new bracket:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
