ps2cho - Was the projector retrofit difficult? What housing did
you use?
first time was difficult. took me several weeks. thereafter they only took about
2-3 days.

for the 210 retrofits, I used the asian Depo assembly. they are the sturdiest of
the aftermarkets. their inside dimensions coincidentally makes the E55,
Maxima or RS6 bixenon projectors near perfect drop in.

mike-81-240d - Did you use a relay on the high beam solenoid, or
use a diode? I've heard alot of problems caused by just soldering the pig tails
to the bulb connector, mainly fried solenoids.
the 210s I've worked on have been pre-face lift models and I simply spliced the
solenoid triggers to the high beam leads. when high is activated on the
stalk control, the H7 high beam is energized...and 12 vdc energizes the
solenoid, thereby swinging down the cutoff shield.

i added the blinking mirrors shortly after, then changed to E55 rims, designo
seats, and lowered 1" after. i'm done sinking $ into this and will just enjoy
riding it. it a 99 model with only 61k on the ticker.
