looks like you need to rotate just slightly the projector on the right. Only reason I say that is if your in the left lane you could possibly flash somebody.

Looks good though!

Thanks for the compliments , feels nice to hear after putting this much work into them. Starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, but still a little bit to go yet. And as much as I would love to see them done now, I'm not going to rush the finishing touches otherwise everything will have been for not.

Cheers everyone and I'll keep you posted as soon as I get more updates

Hey thanks for that, I appreciate it. umm like I said before, school is crappy for next 3 weeks... but as far as progress goes, there are essentially 4 parts:
1 - wiring harness = done
2 - main housing = projectors aimed and ready for fiberglass
3 - lenses = prepped for installation
4 - bezels = waiting on some new shrouds to get look I want

I would gladly make a set for paying members and now with summer holidays coming up I would have much more free time and now having almost finished a set I will have a good handle on what exactly to do, thus speeding everything up.

My conditions would be: customer would have to ship headlights and projectors/shrouds for me to retrofit and I will buy locally the other things like mounting hardware and components for the wiring harness. I would also have to charge up front for any out of pocket fees (ie: wiring harness) and upon shipping I would require the shipping costs as well as a negotiated fee for services.

But as far as that is concerned, I will let you all see the finished product in the next month or so and then decide if you want me to do something for you. A plain old, single bi-xenon projector would be extremely quick, easy, and cheap for me to do for someone and I would gladly do it under the conditions stated above... it's the whole 2nd projector mess that makes this thing take time.

lol i would probably only want a single projector conversion... because frankly, i love the look of our stock lights without any of those LED's or CCFL halo's.... Our lights are just... unique on their own ^_^ they should have just been projectors.

Anyway, good luck! I can't wait to see the final product! i am sitting on the edge of my seat here! >_>

Ok, slow and steady. Got other headlight aimed. So here are some more teaser shots... still playing with the features of my Canon G5 to see which settings take nice photos of lights

Yeah I'm not sure what to do now because I'm not feeling that look... so what else could I really do other than color matched or some form of black?

Have you used it before? Cause I bought a spray chrome from the brand at Canadian Tire (the brand GM uses) and it didn't look chrome... just a weird silver. That would be sweet if it looked like the stock finish...

I think they sell like 2 oz bottles called "touch Up"s for like $2.50. You could try it out?

I agree, the stock look would be awesome.
