After 5+ hours of install, here is the finish product

Passenger side DRL


Driver side DRL


All 3 projectors on driver side + DRL


All 6 projectors are running on hyper ballast
-Low beam at 75Watt vs 35Watt factory

-2nd low beam (high beam ) at 65 Watt of HID vs factory halogen bulb

-Fog light also at 65 Watt vs previous upgrade of 35Watt cheap hid kit

-Factory DRL was disable following instructions found on the forum

-Factory AFS retained

James, you can email the my friend see if he can do one for you, mind you it does take time to build and his labor cost is definitely not cheap. Not to mention hyper ballast is extra

So it looks great. Do you have the high beams on at the same time or are you using them primarily for really dark roads?

I hardly have to use the high beam because when all 6 projectors are on, it's very bright already, remember I have 205 watts of light per side ( 75+65+65)x2 , a total of 410watts

So your daylights that were converted have the high beams for dark roads and HID's that are on all the time and are shown in the first pic?

Can you take a pic of the ground area near the cut off with all six then with just the usual four?
I would love to talk to the guy that did the work and work out something.
