#93448, "my headlight retro..."




          

finally got pics. I thought i had taken more, but apparently not, so i added some phone pics. My setup consists of TSX projectors with the BMW xenon shroud (i was using e46 projectors, but these are sooo much better). I'm using phillips 4300k bulbs. I didn't want to get ebay projectors as the housing, so i kept the stock 2GB headlight and fitted the projectors in there with brackets i made.






notice the nice colorful cutoff:



I thought i had taken pics of the output, but the range is WIDE!! and i love it. Took me about 6 hrs to align them correctly, but finally did it. So that's it, i love em very much.

Wow you did a great job on those man. It's hard to tell from those pics how you modified the housing though. From what it looks like though, that's the best HID conversion using stock housings that I've seen. you need a new digi cam emoji

Thanks for the comments. I bought the projectors off ebay. Basically I cut the stock reflectors to make a snug fit for the projector, and the bezel that goes around the projector cleaned it all up, covering any cuts i made here and there, to make it look clean.

Nicely done.
Alignment makes a huge difference. Ill get some updated pics of mine up.
Never seen the e46's though. Well not unless they were driving in the opposite direction.
So far Im happy with my 55's. But I hear the TSX's are WAY better.

very nice, finally people are understanding that HID's are the way to go, or doing it just the "kool" kida have em

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.
