I got the sharp for $50 bucks with a busted lamp so I decided I'd try an alternative lamp solution. I have a Slyvania Silverstar halogen auto headlight I'm using right now, but I'll probably upgrade to a xenon HID eventually. My problem right now however is that I don't know how to bypass the lamp sensor and after shearching the internet for about a week and a half, I've come up with nothing. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.


P.S. with the exception of buying the AN-xr10lxlp. I don't have $300 right now

This thread would be a better place to get the info you need.

thanks

I haven't gotten any responses over there either. So if any body has any ideas let me know.

yo what up
on your sharp pj find the 2 to 5 wire set comming off of the ballast (the small wires) going to the unit (ballast removed) one of those will be a ground , ground it to the chassie on a screw, loop the two circut wires
you,ll have to figure witch one is witch once you do that it should fire up , ive done this with several pj,s with no lamps from ebay

also if your using a car headlight or hid you might want to use a good amperage power source take apart and use a car battery charger one with a 6 or 10 amp switch

any ? ratcliffedon@yahoo.com i got pics of it

Thanks alot. i was starting to get frustrated. I'll try that and post somepics once i get it running with the hid.

I'm interested as well on how you did this.

SUCCESS! I found the photocoupler I needed to bypass and am powering the HID with a computer PSU. It came out better than I expected. Right now I'm working on getting the HID positioned correctly. I'll post pics when I'm done. A working 720p dlp PJ for about $140. I think it's worth it.

I am also trying the same. My bulb is not comming up. Could you please explain indetail. if you have pictures please send me.
I am not sure which wire i need to loop ,disconnet or ground. Please help me. I have same sharp xr-10x
