i also did the first ever (on hid planet or seen by TRS) 100MM CCFL's siliconed to the outer rim of the shroud. looked dope, problem was using 55w ballasts for 3+ years, it got hot and the silicone failed when i hit a bit pothole and broke one of the rings off. Panamera retros with 6.0 Minis soon.

Ok so before i get in too deep heres a dumb question
I got the foreground limiter mixed up. Which one goes on the passenger side, the one thats more curved or less curved?
I can see light reflection being limited more on the more curved one so id guess thats the drivers side...

love the e55r, people dont use it because they think its boring and cant accept a led/ccfl. I made it work and think it looks fantastic! No clue on the foreground limiters, Morimoto stopped using them last year so the 6.0's dont have them.
I feel a headache coming on....I hate dissembling projectors.
the limiters should look the same.. my guess is they got a little messed up in powdercoating (i would not have recommended that personally). best off to test them once installed in the projector to make sure the cutoff is crisp like you want it or you may have to do some tweaking

THe limiters should not have been bent at all. I'm not a big fan of the E55 (make our headlights look too ricer IMO), but yes as Matt said, I wouldn't have PC'd those. This may be hard to explain, but when you have the light in the car the left side should be a little lower per USA rules. Just make sure you put them in the right way! lol

Those are sick, gov!
ive decided the headlights are junk. Too much crap stuck on the lense that isnt coming off nicely. The housings have cracks in them from shipping, the adjuster cracked, theres a chunk missing from the turn signal bowl.., and im just afraid that they will nit seal right now.
So ive decided to use my brand new ebay black housing lights fir this project instead.
But heres a teaser of what the final product should look like these are gonna be ****. Gm silver shrouds of course
