Default New GS retrofit

I'm doing a retro for a member here for his GS. We're about 60% done now. Look for a writeup soon. For now, enjoy some pics. PS yes the Sony Camera is nice! Now I can finally take some pics of my own ECE boshe beam pattern (hehe).

(Work in progress)
Pic with shroud and custom backplate


Pic with custom backplate but no shroud here


Nice flicker from 40 feet away


And finally the beam pattern demo


Pic before silver trim added to edges of custom backplate


Like I said, look for the full write up soon. Also look for more pics to follow and don't worry about the gaps on that last pic. We've got a nice secret to get around that and create a more flush continuous look. Get ready.
Mike

Wow what a complement! No neither of the 2. I actually posted over on hidplanet what the units were so it doesn't make sense to leave it out over here. We're using Audi A6 DOT single xenon projectors. They're made by Hella and are tough to find nowadays but put out a nice crisp beam pattern and a good amount of violet color on the cuttoff pattern. What you see is an unmodified shield in action. The color's so good, there's no need to do any shield bending. When its all said and done this weekend (or at the latest this upcoming week, you'll see the final shots on the car and some wall cuttoff shots. Get ready. I'm going to do a few more retrofits up here in Chicago. Anyone nearby, PM me and we can go from there

I'm surprised hella has something with a sharp cutoff line at all... What is the lens diameter? sorry for the questions, I can't really search for A6 (not enough characters)
