Lightwerkz go through a lot of retrofits, so they would probably have a reliable assessment of the particular aftermarket housing you're considering....

No kidding

Newer vehicles seem to hide a lot of the wiring. I own a SPA xc90 as well, and compared to my daily driver (2002 GDAA Impreza...

Advertising 55W and the options for the higher Kelvin (i.e. bluer) bulbs at 8000K are two things that make me suspect the credibility of an offering....

I would keep the relay harnesses so that the switches will be easily accessible. Then, connect the "power" side of the harness to the battery....

[satrya]

Not much of a help; but wires connected to the "chassis" of a device (like this projector) is usually for proper electrical grounding, but shouldn't...

Are you converting OE halogen headlights to OE LED headlights?

[satrya]

Does this blue lens make the output bluer or warmer? Some Hella Optilux halogen foglight projectors come with dichroic coated lenses that appear blue...

[satrya]

Sounds good. How the "shield" is controlled is another matter though. Does it use a stepper motor or does it need a separate controller, et...

On my daily driver, I used a pair of aftermarket headlight housings only because it facilitated for a quad setup, and I wanted to try quad to be able...

Sorry, no. Since it is not an old projector, and from the same manufacturer, I would think that the performance is not going to be worse (in general ...

Thanks for sharing. Indeed, AFS type light (i.e. one that distributes more light to the side by changing yaw angle depending on speed and direction or...

In that case, that should be fine. The harness' function is to provide power to the ballast and solenoid at the right times (e.g. to both when your OE...

[satrya]

The relay harness allow you to test the final complete system. Without it, you're testing aiming and whether or not the bulb lights up when the ballasts...

From what I recall, this is not the first OE projector that uses a reflector bowl surface that appears to be not 100% "shiny" to the naked eye....

[satrya]

Looks like the dust cap hole is a bit large, right below the igniter, that along with the red wires, may allow water to drip on the bottom of the red...

Welcome. Just to make sure we have this covered; plug-and-play (PnP) LED bulbs marketed to replace halogen bulbs have to position the LED emitters such...

I prefer to conduct my shield experiment by using cardstock, initially copying the OE shield, and progressively trimming it here and there to see what...

By convention, H4 halogen bulbs alternate between igniting the low beam and high beam filaments. Since the bulb has 3 pins, it is electrically possible...
