Well heres another update, almost done with the lights. As you can see I decided to go with quad projector set up, I thought to my self hey why buy the ls projectors when I can have 4 , 2 in the high beams are from an X5. I still need to align the cut of, so that the purple is coming from both projectors at the same time at the same angle. And there you see my headlight lense, turned out great and could be better if I took more time but I really want to get it done so yep all I need to do now is start the 2nd one

Its an x5 projector for high beam and a rx330 for the low beam, there both modified, the x5 modded to give of more color and the 330 modded to give of more light. The reson I did this was because I had the 2 x5 projectors just layin around and because I wanted to simply put more light on the road and do something no one else tryed and so far its turning out real good, im working on the 2nd light now and im pretty much busy 24/7 with some school stuff and this. I got some more Hid gs headlights, that I can sell and I just started to play around with one Hid reflector I have and Im able to modify it to give of more light, actually there is way more light on the road w/o any glare so I can pretty much custom paint the headlight inner housing to anyones request and remove the orange turn signal's and modify them to give of more light. Cant wait to get both of my headlights done so I can turn darkness into daylight oh and ps: those are e-39 projectors

haha good so you went and did the Bimmer High Beam projectors too i see? is it just for looks? or are you planning on driving w/ all 4 on at the same time?

great job on the lens.... I was skeptical about the final clarity but looks like you knocked it outta the park w/ that one!

They do look great. I think the X5 projector looks sick in the high beam.
