Operation Retrofit Complete!
After putting it off and getting stuck waiting for parts, not to mention a lack of motivation, for over a month now, I finally finished my retrofits. They're mini H1s with 5000k bulbs, slight color modding, e46 extended shrouds with custom halo, and satin black paint. I'll post up output shots, and better pics, when I get my good camera back, and we get a night not filled with rain. For now I've just got iPhone pics

Thanks! I scared the hell out of myself becauser I though I curbed one of my wheels a few nights ago when I heard a bang noise going around a corner, but it was just my sub sliding around my trunk
I need to find a way to hold that thing in place.
Not a problem! I used to have two Kickers back when I had my SS/NA, but I couldn't stand the rattling after 3 days and uninstalled them. Worst purchase I ever made.
On a side note, I need to find someone who makes quality retros for my basic setup.

Sweet headlights. I need to do this one of these days.

Did you get the morimoto bulbs? That's what I've got in both my headlights and my fogs. Same brand, so they all perfectly color match. They'll get a bit more pure white, and brighter after some use. When I took these pics, they only had about 10 min of use on them.
All my bulbs and kits are from buyhids.

Thanks guys, I took some output shots, and got them adjusted. I got the rotation pretty much right when the lenses were off, as close as I'm gonna get. Somehow the passenger headlight has a bit of a cross beam, but I really don't wanna go through taking it apart and trying to fix it. It doesn't really hurt anything.
