Because Jonathan923 is a dick....

I've been keeping this under the radar but I guess its time to break the news... I'm ditching my ricer headlights and building retros.

Some good ol fashion baking



Fat ass shrouds




Some painting




Everything laied out






Yes sir!




For voting reference
Halo behind shroud



If anyone has advice or tips let me know this is my first set and I'm learning as I go!

Yep! If anyone can post a picture of the back side of mini H1 all screwed in and with the bulb in that would be cool. I cant figure out how all the gaskets/rings/nut/ flexible tab that holds the HID inside

I'd do the demon eyes! Halos would look good as well

what shrouds are those? and what color halos are you doing? And if the halos are colored, then I would put them in front, otherwise in back of the shrouds.

Don't see the option to ban Jonathan in the poll.





On a side note, I say demon eyes or nothing. No halo

So, the Gatling Gun 2.0 shrouds fit ok with plenty of up and down room for adjustment? I really want those for my next retrofit, but I'm afraid they won't fit.

Bump for moar votes... Really rethinking what I wanna do. I was leaning to inside halos but finding a reputable place that sells them for a good price... TRFS sells them only in white though.

If you want something similar to halos but not actual halos u can do what I did with my retros. I got a hidden LED ring. Just pretend instead of blue its white though (the blue was from the shitty demon eyes before they burned out)

I was thinking of doing an LED ring inside instead of a halo... I just don't want the light to be broken up when it shines through the shroud, thoughts?
