Well I finally finished retrofitting a set of Hella E55 bi-xenons into my Golf. Overall it went good but took me almost three days. I took some pics but can't post tonight...probably tomorrow.
Probably because they're more better.thebigarniedog said:Looks good, but why did you use bi-xenon projectors?
Very well done- congratulationsrobhegedus said:Ok, I finally figured out how to upload a PDF. Enjoy;

I'd like some more better lights. I thought about OEM for about 300 milliseconds so looks like I'll have to retro myself. Maybe I can find some used Golf GTI lights that already come with fogs and work those up so I can just pop and swap when I'm ready. When I do, I think I'll take the OP's advice and spring for a little better projectors (although I'm sure his E55's blow my OEM pos lights away LOL).TDICADDGUY said:Probably because they're more better.

A bi-xenon projector only has one bulb. It has a moveable shield operated by a solenoid. When the solenoid is powered up, it pulls the shield out of the way, thus raising the cutoff and enabling high beams. All you have to do it hook it up is connect the solenoid to the wires going to your existing high beam bulb so that when high beams are turned on, the solenoid gets energized and moves the shield. You don't need to have anything fitted into where the stock high beams were, you just need to tap into the existing wiring.
Make any sense?
