They're not as big as the E39/E55/RS-6 size (3 inches) diameter lense. They're more closer to the Bosch E46 and Valeo size which is about 2.75 inches.

No prob Slavek. I'll finish as good and quickly as I can. Work really seems to eat up alot of my time

More shots while I wait for JB Weld to dry.



and another garage beam shot


(The last pic is the same shot from one of the above cuttoff shots only from the other end of the beam. Check out the violet on the RX330!!!!)

At least I can work on the other side while the JB dries. More pics soon
Mike

Retro's done!!! I finished up the right side earlier tonight. Anyhow, while we wait on the JB weld to dry, feast your eyes on this. Remember, the projectors are placed differently in the cuttoff shot. I didn't have a stable enough place for the left headlamp to sit other than the right side of my hood and vice versa. So if you notice the right beam a little sharper vs. the left don't panic. OEM HID cars come with one sharper (left side) projector and one lesser defined cuttoff line one( which is the right one). Its setup that way for maximum illumination where the left unit is setup to define the beam pattern and the right one is there to balance the pattern out and add light where it belongs etc. Anyhow, enough talk....get ready. Here come the pics (part one)




(50 foot away cuttoff shot which is really nice for this range and even better in person)



More to come soon! Look for the installed shots as well as the final verdict in a few days. Told you you werent' ready
