    Thanks for the video, TRS. Very helpful for my purchasing process. For the Bi-LED’s: I’m wondering if (since you said the LED chip is fixed inside the projector housing) I would have to replace the entire projector if the LED failed? Or are these typically built to allow LED bulbs to be easily switched in and out?

    Can I replace a Bi-Xenon bulb with a Bi-LED bulb? I have aftermarket Bi-Xenon projector headlights in my car and they gave out on me and I'm curious if I can use Bi-LED bulbs in the same projector. Or do I have to buy a completely different Bi-LED projector?

      You'll need to install some new HID bulbs, LED will not fit or work with your OEM HID system.
      What vehicle are you working on?

    planning a retrofit on my corolla. do i need both low and high beam power for high beam to work? im coming from an h4 setup so low beam power is off when switching to high beam.

      No LED we carry will work well in these projectors. They are intended for HID!

    Sorry, newb here. I can interchange LED and HID in Bi-Xenon projectors?

    • @RetrofitSource
      @RetrofitSource  Рік тому

      No, the bi-xenon projector is a completely different unit than a bi-LED projector, which uses LED optics built into the projector itself so no bulbs are needed.

      I would recommend looking into something that you could grill mount like a 20ish inch bar. Baja would be my preferred brand but they have QUITE the wait time right now.

    Why the need for the spherical lens?

    • @RetrofitSource
      @RetrofitSource  Рік тому

      Because of the way they project the lights through the lens, each lens is made differently to perfectly project the lights.

    Sooo which one is brighter? Oem bi xenon hid or new oem bi xenon led??

    • @colemaurer5030
      @colemaurer5030 3 роки тому +2

      It's not "bi xenon led" its just "Bi-LED". The "Bi" refers to the shield dropping for high beam, and the "xenon" refers to the kind of bulb used in HID projectors, which is a HID bulb that creates light by burning xenon gasses. Also with the right setup and tuning, HID is still brighter than LED, but not by much.
