Alright I'm debating of going dual(normal) retrofit or quad retrofit. I've talked with drunkie briefly and we both agree that dual is the most practical and quad is more for bragging rights.

But I still can't decide and would like some of your thoughts. I'll post a few pictures of of both just so you can see without having to search around.

Dual(normal)

AjL227


Drunkies (one of his 8million retro's )




Quad



Quad Low


Quad High



I could also just do a normal retrofit and then retrofit some fogs but then I'd have to move my turn signals to the high beam location and I'm not sure if I like it there... Decisions decisions!

I prefer duals. Quads can be fatiguing to your eyes and you'll get those idiots that think your high beams are on so they'll flash you.

Or make your high beam location your new fog spot. Some Mini H1's and 3000k bulbs would be pretty boss.

I say Quad...go big or go home. LOL But then again thats bcuz i really have yet to see a smexy car w/Quad Projectors. (And i really want quads so imma live my life thru u until i get them!) And why would you have to move the signals?? You cant fit a mini down there where the split fogs are?

I say do quads just cause I don't like the look of half the housing empty where the highs should be. It just looks too much like something is missing to me.

True, but imagine the surprise of me flashing back quad highs going no bro these are my highs
Also I'm not sure how well the fogs would work in the high beam location since the light is supposed to shine under the fog


I don't believe that a projector and the turn signal will both fit in the housing.


Agreed I feel it would look much cleaner with quads.

Go dual. Quad is pointless and you'll draw way more attention and other drivers will think you have your high beams on. quad are plenty trust me. BTW youll have a hell of a time aiming quad since the high beam location sits a bit lower. When you aim the low beams and make the necessary adj w/ the headlight adj screw.. youll have to end up mounting the high beam proj higher to match up or you'll have a weird cut off. Kind of like my pic below. One day ill get around to posting pictures of my retro when I finish it up..it's diff then whats been done so far w/ our platform. Dual looks better. I tried to mock up some quad and with both projector shrouds on it looked way to flasy sort of how ebay aftermarket lights look. Ill see if I can get some pictures later on.

Minis won't fit. I've experimented with this since I had a fog and some extra proj laying around. The only way they will fit is if you gut most ot the internals and mount them from behind. Which would be a pain in the ass to seal so water won't get in.

Edit: Since I enjoy gpona here's some pictures to show you what I mean

_________________

Well if I do go quad I would have a switch to turn off the ones in the high beam spot that way I don't have any issues. If I do projectors in the fogs I would use the blazer projectors.

If you don't mind I'd like to see what you have coming along for your retro.

The best looking Quad setup would probably be a GXP...b/c they already have projector fogs...That would be nice to see.

Robodude it's actually I concept I'm thinking of, I edited the guy that did a quad setup on a gxp and then took the highbeam bulb hole for from on of Drunkies photos and edited it in. I'm probably going to open up a housing soon so I can start to play. I just need to figure out what I want to mold the 2nd divider with.

Singles like Dave (Drunkie), myself, and others have done...

Why? Because quad doesnt even remotely resemble any OE application of any car with factory projectors on the road, and the cops would have a field day if they saw all four fired up at once...

And LEDs on the Edges FTW, Dave and I have that too.

^ Good point..w/ dual our headlights appear to be more factory. W/ 2 it's apparent it's not and puts to much focus on the headlights and not the car itself. The divider will be tricky only way I can see it looking good is if you cut out part of the middle section from the existing..a spare one of course and molding it in. Anything else wouldn't look factory or blend it unless you decide to bondo/fiberglass the rest.

I think its a bit over the top with four, but thats just my .02$

My opinion to. I threw a spare proj in the high beam housing and threw it on the car just to get the look and was a bit to much. One seemed jus fine and not overdone.

I'd say stick with dual. It just looks cleaner - more OE feel to it.

i think quads. Never really liked the look of duals because it made the high beam spot feel out of place on 04+. 97-03's were fine because they only had 2 bulbs.

Can't do anything with the Highs?

Mine function as turn signals and DRLs right now.

This is a really old video, I'm working on retrofit number 25,374



What I don't like (and no offense to the guys who have done the retros like this) is when they paint the entire reflector black both hi and low sides, it looks odd.

i say quad, but i live in the country and animals are all over so i say MOAR LIGHT!! but if cops in your area are dicks then you may be smarter to just run two.. either way it should improve light output.

i know i am doing both my gp's for better light both the dd and summer toy. but i have put hid's in my bikes and i just wont do it to my standard reflectors for the lack of high/low and the glare to others.

Overkill!! Seriously though you may just want to order one set of proj. first mock them up and test them outside you'll be surprised on the clean output vs PNP hids. Now for fogs you can try to source some matchbox mini's but they've been sold out for awhile from TRS I ended up purchasing there last pair and talked to Matt @ TRS and they're won't be restocking anymore so I lucked out. There alot more superior then blazers..shorter to blazers would be my next choice.

BTW lost the pictures I had...ill try to get some in a week or so when im back 2 home where my parts are.

_________________

I'll see what I can do for the fogs. I'm going to try and bake these open tomorrow if I was up early enough.
