That's a dope mod! I was going to buy one of these myself. Good to know I'll have to reseal them when I order mine.

What did you use to have the acrylic hold in place? Also, did you just wire the LEDs to the lower daylight LEDs?

How is the output of the LED projectors? Will you be retrofitting those as well?

Do you have older headlights you are interested in selling? I'm looking for a spare to do a projector retrofit.

nice...lots of work but looking good. I was gonna buy a set just to open them up to see the build inside.

For reseal, would definitely recommend butyl rubber or "retrorubber" from TRS. Not that expensive and will make life easier later vs. silicone or any type of sealant.

I picked up some grey butyl from Home Depot for like $5 online, shipped to store. TRS sells the black stuff for $13 or so.
