Halos GMC Jimmy
 
I was wondering if anyone has either A.) Found projectors for a jimmy or B.) Found projectors that will work with a slight bit of modification. I love the look of projectors but can't seem to find them anywhere. I have a 98 jimmy btw

if you get some cheap ebay housings (with a clear lens) hit up The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications you can get projectors, and bulbs/ballats that fit it real well. Very good site, and reliable, with amazing customer service. HiDplanet : The Official Automotive Lighting Forum will also help you if you have any questions about the retrofit, worth the time and money IMO.
Good luck!

Unfortunatley You will have to retro fit projectors in as they are not made for the jimmy/bravada. I ran into the same issue with my 97 bravada. I have vacuum formed clear lenses and am in the process of retro fitting a set of projectors in.

isn't retro fitting pretty expensive

It can be, yes.

budah93 08-27-2012 06:58 PM

what exactly is retro fitting

Pretty much taking the projectors from a bmw/mercedes ect and fitting them to your factory headlight housing.

Yup, but I would not do it to the factory headlight housing as the lenses are cut to spread the light when you have halogens in there. You will want a clear lens for it.

Correct. Clear lenses are a must. Once i finish my new vacuum forming table. I should be able to make clear lenses for pretty much anything.
