My Retros

I bought the projectors from buyhid.com 5k. Painted them U41. I etched cobalt ss into my lenses as well.

I'm guessing its on the flat side of the lens facing in towards the bulb. I was looking on HID planet and this is how a member did it on there.

Thanks, love the kit so far. I just used a reversed decal and took baking soda and blasted it. It really stands out on the car. I will get pictures yet.

Wish I would have waited for those Motori projectors. They look so much better than the old ones. They look like they sit back a lot further. I still love my BuyHID kit though haha.

I like how you didn't paint the whole housing black. Actually looks different. Good job.

Thank you, that's EXACTLY what I wanted. There are so many Cobalt's out there and I don't want to be like the rest of them.

Thank you, turns out I have to possibly tear apart my one headlight. I can't aim it. I think it unhooked. BUT... the cut off line is SO nice.
