Looking good. Are you going to paint the old reflector?

I'm painting the housing satin black but I'm gonna leave the shroud as is.

I had a minor set back. One of the Audi style strips was amber instead of white so I have to get a new one. Projectors are mounted inside the bowls. Just waiting on the sealant to dry. Here are some pics of of what I did today.

I don't think people realize how much work you put into your car. Good job.

Here are the completed pics. I don't have pics of the cut-off. The right side is slightly lower than the left which is the opposite of what it's supposed to be. The left side has a light angle to it. None of this really matters though because it still lights up the entire width of four highway lanes. I am very happy with the output. The with l.e.d.s are gonna be replaced with some red ones I got in the mail today for a demon eye effect. I am gonna wire them to a switch to turn them on/off. Right now the white l.e.d.s are wired to come on with the parking lights. I also used the Nissan OEM sealant for the headlights.

First rate job. Looks really great. But let's see the money shot.

Here's mine (same projectors and clear lenses):

Freakin awesome Brian.

Do you happen to have a shot of how the projectors are held up from the back of the bowl?

Sorry, no pics. They are held in by a couple of screws from the projector to the bowl and then some windshield adhesive to fill in the gaps. I have a better way to mount them when I do my next retrofit in a month or two.

My cut off isn't as good as your. My car was in the body shop when I was doing the retrofit so I couldn't aim the properly. The cut off is a little low and the drivers side has a slight angle. There is still more than enough light hitting the road though. Once I do my next retrofit these lights are coming out so I can work on them some more. I was in a hurry to finish them.

PETERPOOP · 05-24-2010, 01:56 PM

Going to be selling the ones you just made?

Ok cool. Keep up the good work man. I guess more to come in a couple months. Can't wait to see the progress.
