I guess so but why would you want to go from projectors to halogen?

I just removed my halogen lights. If you want to swap that bad, I'll trade you.

The factory projector lights are still halogen, no loss there. I have factory projectors and will be swapping to the quad lights as well so I can do a better retro fit.

Is it just plug and play or do you need an adapter

I should have said projectors to reflectors...

I'm still confused though, wouldn't it be easier to upgrade the existing projector than a quad/dual? How does the projector housing limit a retrofit?

Personally...I don't like the quad retros, they look like the projectors are stuffed in and you're left with what to do with the high beam. I think the duals look better for a retrofit. Just personal preference.


@arsenault408 - If you have the projector housing, you'll need some sort of harness to run high/low beam quads. I'm pretty sure you'll need a harness if you do a quad retrofit as well.

The Retrofit Source has a HID projector upgrade kit to replace OEM halogen projectors.

I have had oem projectors with HID's installed and quads retrofitted with morimoto projectors. I am more than happy with the oem projectors and HID. Not the cleanest line, but driving down the road at night, very little difference IMO on light output.

I might be wrong but I don’t think you can go from projectors down to reflector like you want.

Jeremy from retroshop would be able to confirm that
