Wow - that's cool! Are you going to shoot the entire process and put it up in the tutorials forum when you're done?

Thanks for sharing all this... even though I'm a Gen 2-er, I take great delight in seeing other people's custom lighting projects!

Yeah I plan to shoot the entire process. When I'm finished I'll do a step by step write up and ask the mods to move it over to the DIY section for me.

Got them off ebay. Not bad because you get 2 shrouds in 1 right.

Here are some pictures.

Nopes. Just gonna go with one projector per headlight. That one projector is gonna have a hard enough time fitting in there as is. The solenoid that activates the high beams takes up alot of space.
