Finally Done! HID Retro Night PIcs

These were taken on my cellphone as I just finished. The aiming might be a tad off on the driver side, but I'm not gunna rip them back apart and re-seal them for such a minor imperfection.

Here is the Cutoff. I get a weird box on the passenger side cut-off, but not sure what it's from... doesn't bother me any.


And you can tell in this picture that the parking lot is severly sloped for flooding purposes. The beams do aim down slightly.


Let me know what you think. It's been like 3 months to get to this point. Since mid July.

Oh and for those who care.. better pics tomorrow night with an actual camera, I was just really giddy and took pics on my phone.

HackAbuse... actually those are my spares . I have the ones on the car now and 2 extra sets.

I will try and get better pics tonight when it gets dark. The reason the drivers side has like a wave of flare above the cutoff is the ground was wet. If you have watched the weather channel lately you'll that Omaha,NE is in this swirl of rain for the next week.

stock headlights with projector retrofits.

if they were just in the stock reflectors, we would see nothing in his pics but retina pain.

LoL! The easy way to tell if they were HIDs in the stock housing. Wait til its dark. Turn on your brights and proceed to stare into the beam from 12" away.

These are E55 Projectors from a 7 series BMW, retrofitted into the stock headlights.

Headlights look like this during the day, for those who didn't see...
