Headlight Retrofitting

Retrofit Headlights: Build Your Own Custom Housing


Pop open a stock headlight and you'll find one of two things: a real projector already staring back at you, or a reflector bowl just bouncing light off a bare bulb. That single difference decides almost everything else about a retrofit. If you're trying to figure out what you actually have before you spend money, start here and route yourself into the right parts instead of guessing.

Swap a halogen reflector for a real projector like the Morimoto mled 2.0 and the beam changes from a diffused blob into a sharp, defined cutoff line. That's a night and day difference our techs see every time they open a housing. Here is the catch though: if your factory setup already came with an LED projector, your upgrade path shrinks fast, since there's no bulb to swap and no easy projector-for-projector swap either. If your factory housing is HID, you can often reuse your factory ballasts, igniters, and HID bulbs when you bolt in a new projector. Know which housing you're starting from before you buy anything.

Build Your Retrofit

Projector Retrofit Kits

Complete, vehicle-specific bundles that pair a projector with a matching shroud and hardware so you're not guessing at compatibility.

Retrofit Projectors

Standalone projector units, including Morimoto's Mini H1 and mled lines, for swapping a tired factory projector for something brighter.

Projector Shrouds

Trim rings that finish off a bare projector, usually required for a clean build unless the exposed, skeletal look is what you're after.

LED Halos & Strips

Ring and strip lighting for a signature daytime look, an optional add-on for anyone who wants style layered on top of better light.

LED Demon Eyes

Color-changing projector center accents for owners who want their headlights to double as a statement piece.

Controllers & Parts

Relays, controllers, and wiring for running halos, demon eyes, and multi-light setups without frying your factory harness.
