dekinck, what shroud did you use to cover the projector? i ordered some GTI-R shrouds from trs.com im sure i will have to trim them but i got the FX-R bi-xenon to fit it and bolted it up to my car with just the back housing peice and the bracket wit the projector and the high beam reflector on and aimmed the lights, its gonna be NICE! haha now i just gotta find i shroud that will fit and look good and glue it back together!

thanks everyone for the compliments, they're close to completetion, then i'll move onto the daytime running lights (DRL's)

boxcarfan, don't want to be an ***, but try to make your own thread if you have a projecto going on, so people odn't get to confused with what's what in here.

i'm going to be trying to use the oem stock shroud to cover it up. that's on todays agenda, on this gorgeous day, i'd rather be outside, but i wanna finish these lights so bad, specially after testing out the projector outside last night. these new HID's are stupid bright

can't decide if i should use these as my daytime running lights( lights that come on as soon as the ignition is switched on in the daytime even without the low beams on) or not:





they will be on a switch so that when the HID low beams are turned on, they will be switched off

headlights are close to getting put back together. hopefully get them resealed this weekend or the next. in the home stretch now for sure!

as they sit as of last night. should be pretty straight forward once i find something to seal the back with. then just have to wire up the daytime running lights.

I love what you did with the lenses but I'm not a fan of the LEDs.

yea, clos, that's the thing, it's not for everyone, but for the amount of compliments i got on the last set with fewer LED's spaced further apart, people loved them.

that's why they're going on a switch, so if i get sick of them, then, bam, they're off.

and rising sun. i'm not to sure, the amount of time i put into these, i'd have to charge hundreds and hundreds of dollars, haha
specially now that i have other stuff i need/want to do to the ol 'risto

As for clearing the headlights anyone w/ time and patients could do that, when he talking about hundreds of dollars its because he's placed each single led you see into the housing and wired each one. Not a auto zone LED light strip. But it would mimic his set up if you did it neat and under the lens.

when i said 100's of dollars, i was talking about the projectors costing me 240, and the HID kit costing me 180, nevermind the 100 for the polishing/clearing kit.

nevermind the LED's. and the dremel blads and sanding discs, hahaha

I gave up trying to adjust them for hte night, i'll play around more on the weekend hopefully.



i know the left side is a little low, but that's good, cause it won't blind oncoming traffic on Canadian roads:
