***UPDATE***
Check PAGE 2 for Completed Pics!



Finally started work on putting together some projector headlights.

I started out with buying used/not installed Rayme Lenses.
And a spare set of low headlights to do work on.

Months later, last week I purchased Morimoto Mini H1's from TheRetrofitSource.


I was playing around with ideas for shrouds, and tried my hand at vacuum forming.. not bad I guess.

But I'm going to try something else.

Today I got antsy and had to try em out.. took awhile to remove the bumper kind of a PITA
*Note: Shrouds and Clear Lenses not installed yet*

Against the garage the light pattern difference is obvious.


Both.. NOT adjusted yet!

I've got a pair of clear lenses for sale from Malhar95

Great Job smkr3w! I was going to do the exact same thing with my retrofit (the LED turns and black housing... happy to see how amazing it looks!) but i don't exactly have the time nor funding for it frown.gif

If anyone is interested I also have 2 jdm low beams for sale. I already dismantled the lens off one but never had the time to do the other.

let me know if anyone is interested.


You're from canada, so shipping over here is probably going to be expensive... lol

Late night change of mind..

I think I'm going to ditch the current shroud setup and try for something else.

My OCD/perfectionism is going to get the better of me kindasad.gif


Tried Mini Gatling shrouds from TRS? They look really good.
