That looks pretty custom. I never really like those ebay housings but this one might look pretty interesting. Im curious to see how it comes out.

If that is Bondo then you did a really good job. Looking forward to pictures of completed lights.

Looking promising!- How about throwing a couple small projectors in those side circle holes? [Random idea] That'd be pretty cool.. Definitely looking better how you are doing it. Another idea, if you have some factory junky SC headlights laying around, fab the projectors from them into the ebay housings and you'll have some headlights that look like Lexus ES300 dual-projector headlights..

I thought about using small foglight projectors but I think Im going to keep it simple and maybe paint em the same color of the car(maybe).

Looking good. I'm in the process of replacing all those crappy blue 194 bulbs with a strip of super bright LED ones
