so i started it today, i got sick of waiting for this guy to send me an extra pair of headlights he had. i bought them a month ago and still have not got them. anyway
here are a couple pics:
that is where i am at now, i am going to tackle the wiring tomorrow. not bad for my first retro fit huh
wow nice jeff :tup: should look good once u button it up
What kind of projectors you using? any shrounds, and what temp bulbs?
e46 BMW projectors. i am just using foil tape as a shroud, they came out better than expected using the foil tape u can hardly tell its the tape

A retrofit will actually work extremely well. What doesn’t work is buying those shitty projector headlights from eBay and putting HID bulbs in them.

Oh shit…
Haha… You saw the shield inside was on the top, so you thought the light would come out from the other side where there is no shield? Its odd, but the light comes from the side where the shield is… At least on my TSX jectors…
