BMac1203 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 S2k's have HUGE bowls which most likely will not fit without having to cut up stuff. the point of the rx330's is that it takes no modification really so it makes it simple. He just wants the lens, not the bowls. The other member mentioned using STi projectors for a retro. Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_luv Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Sti projector is fair at best with lens swap unless you go with JDM 3 inchers. and fiddle with those. Can you say TL's i can and will sooooonnnnn. Mr.350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biz77 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Here is a pic of my completed retro. I went a wee bit too far with the washers as you can see towards the beam center the cutoff becomes somewhat less focused, almost making the beam appear to arc across it's width. It does provide considerable color. I'm leaving it alone for now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v375/biz77/IMG_0006-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkl303 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Has anyone tried this with the RX330 NonAFS shields? I was fortunate to buy some spare headlights and bought the nonAFS RX330 projectors so I can take my time but I noticed that the RX330 Sheild cut out for light output is a different from the legacy's. The RX330's looks like someone grinded the lower side sections of the sheild but not the middle section. I'll post pictures when I can find my dang camera. yes if you are going to do a retro you will be filling the shield hole to prevent against glare. As I said before you'll see why not to use the Rx330 shield. The main reason is it will not fit without a lot of cutting and grinding. the dimples just don't allow a clear transfer of light because the prizmatic geometry of each dimple takes away from the ability for light to pass through without some sort of coruption and change in the pattern of light. A fully clear lens like a TSX lens for example would allow a better passage for light to travel through with little to no distortion or disruption of the light.

MiniStiGuy Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've made custom shields out of the non-afs shields and allthough they work I didn't like the beam pattern. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniStiGuy Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 what exactly are we suppost to be seeing in that mspaint job... OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkl303 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Pictures as promised. As you can see in the first picture its more curved on the lower 1/2. This is a really short distance from the car about 3-4ft. Middle picture is from inside the car w/ the Camera at the height of the rear view mirror. Probably 10ft 3rd picture a little more further away w/ more pronounced lower 1/2 at the same 10ft. The setup was using the RX330 sheilds(grinded), the Rx330 Projectors, the legacy projectors, and 1 brass #6 washer on each of the projectors screws The bump in the middle is due to me accidently breaking the flap in the lower set of pictures and having to reattach them w/ JB weld. HID System was DDM D2S. The Hotspots are not that noticeable when actually driving in the car and I can definately see the cutoff on the cars I am following on the highway. Thanks for the writeup MiniSTI Guy. Edited August 12, 2008 by rkl303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkl303 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) These are pictures of the sheild from the inside view (too lazy to pull it apart for you but you can see how the lower 1/2 is designed. Sorry those are pictures of the regular LGT sheilds. I might take pictures of the inside of the RX330's projectors guts but that takes a lot of work to get at it.
