Ok so this is what I started doing today after getting my retro stuff in the mail...

1) 2 Bi-Xenon Projectors off 2004 BMW 745i
2) 2 Gen 3 Hella Ballasts from different cars.
3) Chrome Bezels/Shrouds that came with projectors
---------------------------------------------------------
$280 Shipped


Anyways this is what is happening and you can have an idea of what my headlight will look like by Next Weekend. I'll Post pictures of cutoff and wall pictures and.... You get the point. This is where I'm at. I'll keep you posted as I go on...

Hardest thing was taking the front end appart since I had never tried anything on my wife's car. I wasn't aware that you had to take off your bumper in order to take out the headlight. Wich sucks.. Anyways...

I'll tell you when I see the finished product. Lookin' good so far though.

cool...can't wait to see final pics when finished.

I don't like how the shroud looks with that flat side, but other than that, props, good job on what you are doing.

Well is the one that came with the kid. I wish it would have been a complete rond bazel, but If I want one they go for like $50 and it I doesn't really bother me...

Now It's Done

Nice! :clap:

-THE DON

Do you have any pics in the daytime? They look amazing good job.

Awesome!

Any chance of you posting a DIY walkthrough on this? I've been wanting to do this for a while. I need to get my car back first though. :)

Those look beautiful, nice job. :bow:

I'm interested in knowing how you cut the headlight housing and secured the projector to the headlight. :ponder:

I second the notion for some daytime pics when you get a chance. :D

wow, thats some sexy shizzit

So about how much did this mod cost you?

Will you give us a step-by-step DIY guide?

Are you Jesus, or God?

You need a dremell or some kind of tool like that one... anyways Because of a little (And I mean Small) Alignment problem with one of the projectors that if I wouldn't tell you about it you would never know it, but it bothers me, So I'll be opening one of the headlights to make a minor adjustment and I'll take some pictures of how I did most of the work, it won't be until close to christmas time but, for sure I'll keep you posted...

Thanks, I will be looking forward to it. :wink:
