***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!

I am trying to do the same with some out of an rx350 The projectors aren't from anything. They're special made for retrofitting. So the thread on the back side of the projector sits snuggly inside the original bulb hole and is tighten buy a nut that is seated perfectly in the back  Here:

Got the highs done and finished the shrouds today!
 And a little something special!!!   Ahhhh I'm so excited A little setback tho the LED strip for the other headlight isn't working properly  Gotta contact TRS to see what they can do about getting me a working one. Once I get that sorted out I can seal the lights, and button her back up! -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

QUOTE (kurt95gt @ Jun 6, 2012 - 12:35 AM) Loving these lights!! Thanks Question to all you wiring guru's.. Whats the best way to go about wiring the led strips to act in place of my turn signals (ie: running corner lights/ blinkers)?? Strips use 9-12v, has 1 positive wire and 1 negative wire. Stock turns use 3 wires.. Any help? Thanks. -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

Bare minimum only would have cost ~150 but I wanted a nice shroud and leds.. -------------------- 6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

They're custom made but you can try messaging malhar95. He was making them before. QUOTE (KAOS @ Jun 7, 2012 - 12:16 AM) Nicely done. Thanks
