    How would I go about mounting these.

    I was thinking of purchasing these Bi-xenon FX-R Stage III Kit - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc
    New philips 85122 D2S bulbs
    LHD 3" lens
    Panamera shrouds
    and H7 Wire harness

    My question is how would I mount these into my current Veloster non projector headlights? Any help would be appreciated!

    I question if the 3" lens would fit. I believe another member has installed the Morimoto Mini.

    Bi-Xenon? That's a bit overkill since you already have a dedicated high beam still present in the housing.

    And it's pretty straightforward. Heat headlight, pry open, attach retrofitted projector, test everything, seal up.

    While open you could take advantage and customize some other bits.

    I didn't even think about already having a highbeam. Another option would also be buying Geniune OEM HEADLAMP for Veloster (with Projection Lens) Turbo headlights and the putting a D2S: OSRAM XENARC 66240 SVS in them? Would that give me comparable output to the retrofitted projectors?

    you wont be able to use a D2s bulb in a OEM headlight they are H11b bulbs , and theres no real performance upgrade in getting the 3" upgrade so why not stick with the standard 2.5 they're more then bright and wide enough anyway... I run them in my ion.. and it's insane how much light they put out. I dont on the other hand know how easy it would be to install them in to the stock headlight. they were a bitch to install in my ion and they have much bigger reflectors last I looked

    I had Morimoto's in my Mustang and they worked great. Much better than the aftermarket halogen projector lights I had prior. Turbos might be good, but I think using projectors designed for HIDs would perform better.

    The Morimoto's can be ordered with the D2S. They replace the socket assembly used in the V's headlight

    yes morimoto projectors can be used but century asked if he could put d2s bulbs in the VT headlights.. which isnt possible. and theres no reason to run morimoto mini d2s projectors compared to the h1's the only "benefit" is the ability to use "real" hid bulbs even on the v2 ( i think the current mori d2s' are at) the mh1 v5's are still much better
