    𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆:
    Retrofitting refers to the addition of new technology or features to older systems. These days there are a lot of people who put a simple plug & play xenon kit in their halogen headlight housing in an attempt to improve night vision and looks of their vehicle. In fact they don’t realize that their headlight beams are often worse than before. Night vision achieves relatively little improvement on night vision because of a poor beam pattern, which increases the blinding of other road users. This is because their headlight housings are designed for halogen and not xenon.
    A true Bi-Xenon projector update is now possible for your car. Such an upgrade will significantly improve your light output from 700-2100 lumens to 2800 and 3500 lumens, without blinding other traffic with glare from your headlight. Upgrade your headlight OEM style!
    The latest high power Led bulbs will upgrade both the exterior and interior lighting system of your car. Led lighting is becoming more and more popular in the automotive market for obvious reasons. They have longer lifetime, use less energy and improve safety with their fast response time.
    Do you have any questions? Do not hesitate to contact us, we are happy to help you out!
    Good luck with your retrofit!

    Like a boss. Looks like it could have come from the factory that way, and that's the way a retrofit should be done. Great job sir...if my car didn't already have projectors and HIDs, I know where I'd be sending my headlights!

  • @datacharge

    Excellent clean professional install, I would love to do this where do I click buy! One feedback however I couldn't follow the electrical part since I only saw two black wires get cut. Where did they come from perhaps the original harness ? Also I'm guessing the ballast is attached on the car as well and has the proper plugs to just connect to the light but it could have been shown along with any canbus cancellers etc. Lastly a picture of the cut off etc on the wall after install would be great. Thanks!

      I know a guy who has taken his apart for his GTI, should be the same. He said once you have them off to get a strong knife and work it into the seam between the lens and housing, pry the knife away from the lens (pull the handle towards the housing). You'll hear cracking but that's just it separating, if you pry the wrong way it will crack the lens.

    Hello, excellent video. I am from Brazil and I have a jetta mk5 and I will do the installation of the projector, but I have some doubts. After applying the glue, for how long and at what temperature should the piece remain inside the box? Before you start to open the lens, do you leave the piece warming up inside the box? If so for how long and at what temperature.
