Completed Build These turned out way better than I had hoped for my first time. Cutoff still needs minor adjustments.

Just sharing my own retro on a Yamaha Aerox 155 2017 scooter. NHK 2.5 Bi Led 90watts LHD projectors. Red devil eyes, no angel eyes. White drl's with sequential signal lights. Removed internal reflectors and placed a bracket to hold it in place. Totally DIY. Still finding angel eyes and shroud that will fit. To no avail. Open for comments and improvements. Ciao

Technical/Assembly Question Bi-led Hi-beam wiring question
9
Upvotes
Hey guys my knowledge on electrical is bare minimum, anyways trying to figure this out and some help would be greatly appreciated. Im retrofitting some bi led projectors into my civic headlight housing. Low beams were a simple 9006 bulb and the high beam is 9005 bulb that also doubles as a DRL while high-beam is off running on a lower voltage than the high-beam. If i run a wire from the 9005 high-beam to the bi-led high beam will this work, or will the low voltage being sent for the drl while the high-beam is off flick on the Bi-led high-beam? Or will it need the full voltage to activate the high beam in the Bi-led?

Completed Build Here's a fun one. 95 Ram aftermarket headlights. Designed a full 3D printed replacement for the reflector to act as a combo mount and shroud.

In Progress First Attempt

Upvotes
My first attempt at retrofitting some 8th gen Honda Civic sedan headlights. Using OEM housings, lenses, and reflector bowls. Bought a set of clear/chrome headlights off eBay for the clear corners and the chrome bezel. Machined out the housing for the Morimoto micro D2S 5.0 projector on the mill. Adding in 110mm halos around the high beam and adding in an 18” LED strip. Sealed them back up today, but still need to refinish the OEM lenses before installing them and the mile of wires that go along with everything. All lighting components are from Morimoto.

To the people that have these. Do you like them? Is the Beam pattern good. Do they have fairly good distance to see with compared to others of similar design? I'm thinking about getting a set to install in a spare set of 9003 [HB4] housings that I have.
