Without the ability to use an adapter plate for the Morimoto Mini - a bit of extra work will have to be done to allow the projector to fit and lock onto the reflector bucket. Additional work will also be needed to align the rotation of the projector.
******************************
1) Most reflector buckets have a deep bulb holder area that's too much for the threaded shaft on the projector to fit through, while still allowing the lock ring to fully tighten. By cutting or sanding down the "butt" of the reflector, you will free up a lot of space so that the threaded shaft of the projector can easily fit all the way through the reflector's pre-existing hole and all the hardware can be re-installed.
2) Because the adapter plate also does the alignment in an H7 or H4 application, you will need to manually align the projector. We recommend re-installing the headlights onto your car with the projectors installed (but the lock rings only semi-tightened, and with the front lens covers not yet reinstalled) and turning on the headlights so that you can see the beam pattern aimed on a wall in front of the car. If the beam is anything but level, you can simply grab the projector from the front, rotate it, and then tighten the lock rings all the way from there.

Definitely true in the case of a Mini Gatling
For an H7 Based headlight, we recommend following our BMW E46 or Honda Civic Retrofit videos - which we also have on UA-cam
unfortunately not, but we did discontinue those H13 adapters even with the 5.0 version since they never worked 100% of the time
Thank u 4 u video is what i was looking 4 my H13.
Now i know i can do it👍👍👍👍
So I'm in the middle of my retrofit. Headlights open, everything trimmed down, and now I just need to test fit the projector. Well I thought the hard part was behind me, then I run into the Morimoto bulb holder screws from hell. Those things feel like they were installed by an impact gun. I managed to remove two before stripping the rest in a failed attempt to remove them. You can even see depressions in the bulb holder from how tight the screws were put on during assembly. I'll definitely be returning them. I still want to finish my retrofit but I'll ask TRS to remove the bulb holder screws for me on the replacement set. It's not a pleasant experience to endure after dropping $320 on the stage III kit.
Yup i know. I had couple of them stripped too on Mini H1 7.0. Luckily i had like 7 different small screwdrivers to finally get one to fit snugly and SLOWLY with some pressure, get them out.
I will be using this instructional video as one of two videos to retrofit my 04 accord. My main question is how do I connect the solenoid wire?
The Moto control harness from TRS is plug and play and controls the solenoid when you switch from low to high to low beam.
What did you do with the wire for the cut-off shield solenoid? Drill another hole after install? I'm about to do this retrofit next weekend, and that's one thing I'm wondering about. I'm thinking I should drill a small hole in the reflector bowl under where the silicone washer will seat, feed the wires through, then seal it up with some slow drying silicone. What's your solution?
i wsh it was taht easy lol for many aplications you have to actually trim the reflector to make the actual bowl fit.
I have 9007 housing with kensun hid bi xenon kit. I ordered some H1 projectors. Will it be plug and play if I just switch out the 9007 bulb to H1?
Only thing I would have to gripe with this is that you'd want the shroud installed previous to the install of the projector.
I would like to do these Morimoto 6.0's on a 2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ but I know I might not have enough space once I reinstall them back onto the vehicle using cheap ebay 6054 housings because of the header panel being right behind them. I certainly would not like to cut up my header panel just to make them fit. Could you do a video about this setup someday? That would be awesome, keep up the great work guys!
blueblade455 Check out this one we did on an older Wrangler - used giant Murano bix projectors though, a Mini H1 would stick out much much less ua-cam.com/video/Sn5giFDbrPg/v-deo.html
Help! I have These projectors and I tried to install it in my low beam on my 2004 silverado but it doesn't fit! When I try to install the headlight lens it hit the projector! help please
Gotta cut the reflector housing
can I do the same exact thing to my mazda 3 h11 housing? I do not like the mini d2s much.
does it make more sense to remove the screws before or after baking?
Prefect I have headlight for 2nd gen Lexus Gs so this help me because one side is an hid Oem headlight and the other is halogen oem headlight and want to convert them both to projector for led or hid and have the headlight the same.
@ThrRetroFitSource
Can u swap from oem projectors, to aftermarket projectors for more and sharper cut beam pattern?
And would it be an easier access and easier swap, since it’s gonna be from projector to projector but better?
Absolutely!
A lot of vehicles are a direct swap, some require brackets.
What vehicle are you working on?
@@RetrofitSource it’s for my 2015 lifted Scion xB. And right now I’m workin on putting a roof rack.
Later on. Hopefully I would be able to complete my off-road suspension components, and then focus on swap my all Boring incandescent/halogen bulbs.
So far, I did use GTR Lighting 10 chip canbus T10 mini bulb on my front headlights, did swap a high beam halogen for 8 watt 3000k led yellow lights from SNGL. It’s not that bright, but bright enough for looks and useful for weather conditions. Plus, the brightness doesn’t hurt that much, compare to high beam halogens or better 20-30watt led high beam lights.
Now I gotta focus on low beam,my T10 side marked of the front side headlights, and my tail lights to be full led. Make it look premium.
Especially my license plate lights. They been burned out for few years lol.
You should really do a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder
Does these gs300 have the HID ballast holder under the headlights? I just bought a gs300 and I wanted to do retrofits
i have a 2004 accord coupe its a 9006,i have the 9006 ballast and bulb but the mm are h1,i have a separate low and high beam,i just want to use it on the low beam dont want it to work with the high,do i just get a h1 bulb and plug into my 9006 ballast?
can you reseal the housing using the old gunk or do you have to buy the stuff to do it?
What are the screw holes around the projector used for?
a question, someone know if the Morimoto Mini H1 is the same projector used in Retrofitlab ?? are the same size or are different products.
***** They are using a low-end generic H1 projector, the optics on the actual Morimoto version are generations ahead of the rest. Size wise they are quite similar though
I am planning on doing this to my 2010 Dodge Challenger which has H13 Halogen headlights. Will the retrofit be the same on that application like your video? Will I have to sand down the rear side of the reflector and will I have trouble with adjusting the light? Are there any plans for a H13 retrofit that will be plug & play like the H7?
I have a 2001 Audi C5 Avant and it has stock halogen projectors that are H1, would these projectors or setting similar be a close to direct swap?
Hello this is my first time going to be doing my headlamps. I want to put a demon eye projector in a mitsubishi asx 2015 in the reflector housing is there a projector that you can get for it that would fit in without having to cut the headlamps in order to get them to fit ? Any help would be great 👍
Looks like that vehicle already has a projector, not sure if your specific vehicle has a reflector model or not. If you have an all reflector model, let us know as that will be a little different. Shoot us an email with that information and what you are looking for, and we will get you some recommendations! Support@TheRetrofitSource.com
Are there adapter plates for the SIX.0 coming for the H13 like with the MH1 5.0?
How would I get the solonoid to work if I have a single 9007 housing cause I don't have another high beam. Please help!
Brohovah Witness very easily with this harness: www.theretrofitsource.com/components/harnesses/morimoto-9007-9004-motocontrol-bi-xenon-wire-harness.html
I have h9 bulbs in my cars low beam projector, I’m planning on retrofitting the high beam reflectors to projectors and replacing the oem projector with a retrofit, my question is how could I wire both projectors to be bi xenon? Will the high beams only come on when I turn them on? And how do I get the low beams to have a dual function?
You just need a splitter! (:
I have d2s projector for a vehicle a ended up selling. has there been d2s retrofits to lamps that would normally take 9006 bulbs? I don't wanna waste the material I have in hand thank you
Yup. I saw an accord retrofitted with D2S that has 9006. You may have to cut the back of the reflector, like he sanded here, to make the D2S lock nut fit.
Hey Guys. I have an e92 335i and recently restored the outside of my headlight but have hazing coming from the xenon projector. Looks like dust on the inside. Would this confirm that I would need to change/clean the projector dome or is there a slight chance that hazing is coming from a slightly burned xenon bulb rather than a slightly burned projector. Please help. It's been driving me crazy.
I am honestly not sure just based on what youhave described, I would need to see an image of that. If you could shoot us an email with that image, we could totally help you out! Support@TheRetrofitSource.com
@@RetrofitSource Thanks guys. Will do that now.
Sounds good, one of our sales representatives will get into contact with you to get that issue resolved! Thanks for commenting!
what is lamp i use? h1? h11? h13?
Do you have a guide on how to retrofit these to a housing if they're already H1? I have reflector housings that are already H1 for my high beam.
γRB Doppler yes i wanna know it too.
hi, im thinking of doing this to my 2001 chevy suburban, will this process work for my application as well? or will i have to buy on of those pre-projection housings and swap out the trash for the better lighing option?
ok
how much would u charge me to put some morimotos in my GEN 1 95 lincoln mark viii?
I'm planning to convert my headlights soon.What are those wires on the projector headlights for and where to plug it?
they are for the solenoid for the high beam. if your vehicle has a seperate high beam I wouldn't worry about it
@jeddan david if you do plan on wiring in the high beam it will plug into your harness
I see..think I need to search more about the solenoid.Thanks.!
I have a 2001 monte carlo ss and the low beam is 9006. Im thinking about doing a retrofit with the marmot mini h1 6.0. What bulb do I need to buy for this application? Would it be a 9006 hid kit or something else because this projector is bi xenon and my factory setup is separate high beam and low beam. Would the normal high beam come on and the projector not or the projector and high beam. Im just a little confused on which bulb type I would get?
It would still be a 9006. You will have to buy the minimoto that works with 9006 bulb that's all
Austin Ehm
WRONG YOU WILL NOT USE 9006 ANYMORE. its called a mini H1 because it uses a H1 BULB!
Austin Ehm Yes, you will run a 9006 HD Relay harness with the 9005>9005/9006 splitters to make everything work properly from the controls inside the car. The Mini H1 projector will use an H1 HID bulb. You'll have xenon low beams from the projectors, and then xenon high beams on the projectors working in conjunction with your stock halogen high beams.
How stable is this setup without any bolts or adapter plates? Just a single rubber washer and lock nut.....
I did my wifes chevy cobalt just like this with this exact projector and it's been over a year and it still performs perfect. I was too worried about this but no issues a year later and porbably about 15-18k miles.
temp? of the bake?
What is the difference between the 2.5 and a 3" projector?
There's really no correlation between diameter and output, it's mostly just visual impact
I just bought the Morimoto elite HID kit for my 2012 Chevy equinox. Which projector can I use with it?
H11
+Jillian Puello technically you have to use a projector that matches the bulb size. We do have some H11 based projectors though if you're interested. Just give us a ring! 404-220-7940
Which morimoto will fit into my 2006 Chevy cobalt?
The Morimoto Mini H1 will be able to fit!
www.theretrofitsource.com/bixenon-morimoto-mini-h1-stage-3.html
very informative video. have you ever tried led bulbs in these optics?
+cosku arsiray Yeah, it doesn't work well at all. Need to use HID to produce the proper results.
+cosku arsiray I'm running LED light sets in my low beam projectors and the light pattern is perfect.
Can you still put 9006 bulb there once you retrofit that mini h1? What is the bulb type?
No. You'll need the H1 HID bulbs
So you get the H1 bulbs then what happens if your car or truck is 9007/9006 etc. That's the only thing that is confusing me
RollinCoalRowling they have adapters on the website for the kit.
Which morimoto will fit a 99silverado 1500?
We would suggest the Morimoto Mini H1 7.0 for your Silverado retrofit, best size, excellent light output! www.theretrofitsource.com/bi-xenon-morimoto-mini-h1-7-0.html
can you do retrofits on 2002 sienna??
You can do retrofits on almost anything, it is a custom job that can be made to work in almost any vehicle! Shoot us an email if you would like to look into this, we are here to help! Support@TheRetrofitSource.com
Will the original aiming screws still work to correctly aim the projector light pattern?
Leslie Chao yes as long as you dont break them?
Where I can buy this??
these projectors are garbage. after three years the projectors have fluttered.
Another problem, the glasses from the inner side of the headlight blurred.
2 times I had to open the headlight to clear and rip the glass.
It looks like the morimoto bulb has evaporation.
Now I have to throw these headlights and buy new headlights and give chrome plated projectors.
We're sorry to hear this Natasha. The Mini H1 7.0, which has been out for awhile is extremely high quality and has improved upon the 6.0s. Please give us a call and share with us exactly what went wrong on your 6.0s and we'd love to help. 404-220-7940
TheRetrofitSource Inc The projectors are the same as those that can be bought for 20$- 40$ only your projectors have a logo and the quality is the same.
You have written for each of your products that it is of high quality (SO HAS BEEN AND WITH MY PROJECTORS WHEN I BUY)
It's just a Chinese product like everybody else.
Your in beautiful packaging and nothing more.
How can you help me now ?!
