The Official FX-R Retrofit Lighting Solution Thread

[iZHP]

Felt like updating the FX-R thread.

Got the retrofit, and I'm thrilled with it. Excellent light output, and it's thrown very far down the road, which is what I wanted. Great cutoff too.

Caesar @ Lightwerkz - Highly recommended.

Wall shots are the norm for projectors.. but I want to see what the foreground output looks like. My FX-R's seem very bright towards the cutoff point, but then as they move downwards, there seems to be a certain point where the light just disappears (whereas the bosch projectors continue downwards)

[iZHP]

I haven't noticed that...Mine continue outward and I can see light on the sidewalk beside the car. I rarely use the Fogs anymore...

That kind of light output brings tears to my eyes when I have to run my lights and HID fogs to see. LOL

I know how you feel! It's like night and day compared to the ZKW's... and I had one perfect bowl Lol

I remember when I got new ZKW bowls I didn't have to use my fog lights at all. Turning on my fogs made a nice difference but not a significant difference with burnt bowls.

When a KIA's headlights can make a shadow of your car's lights when they follow behind.....that's bad. LOL

I often experienced people eclipsing my car with their headlights lol. I almost never use my fogs either. I like the color of my CBI bulbs in my AL projectors and my 3k HID fogs kinda drown the color out.

okay so i'm a little late on this here BUT if we do the FX-R Retrofit, will we still have the leveling thing when the car is first turned on? i'm sorry, its so dumb but i love seeing that when i turn on my car

[nike001]

Yes. Why wouldn't you?

The FX-R projector is in the bracket where the ZKW one once was. The auto-leveling feature pushes the entire assembly, not only the projector.

you have no idea how happy that makes me. I'm sorry i'm sure that this was mentioned somewhere else, i just haven't decided to make the plunge into it because i was wondering about that.
