***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*  Upclose   Against the garage the light pattern difference is obvious.  Both.. NOT adjusted yet!

QUOTE (kurt95gt @ Jun 13, 2012 - 11:40 PM)  Love the lights But now get to work on those emblems!!!!  Okay, fine.... QUOTE (Syaoran @ Jun 14, 2012 - 12:06 AM) I think these were the easiest to install and they came out really well, but you could've used a MUCH larger projector (like FX-R I think they're called?) to make use of the whole housing and get better light while at it... a bi-xenon would've been awesome and do some kind of high-beam delete for a different look. the price difference wasn't worth the size difference for me, but the fx-r's are nice. My mini's have a solenoid to bi xenon option, but decided go a diff route. -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

In the neighborhood, here you can better see the cutoff effect.  And in the driveway. Showing the output/cutoff from the driver's seat.  Still gotta fine tune the aiming a little. Again these are Morimoto Mini H1 Projector's with 6000K HID's
