Wow very nice work Mercury! I love those. My only very, very small dislike is IMO, it looks a little empty around the projector. Don't get me wrong, they look 10000000x better than stock, look awesome and I see you put alot of time and effort into making them! Nice job!

very nice...I'm currently working on my own retro as we speak.

Matched TSX projectors, color modded, Matsushita Gen 2 ballasts, and Philips 4300k D2S.

Cool but what about this?

Just a thought on the Desicant.

Did you use a new one out of a fresh package or did you recycle one out of a box you got. It has a finite shelf life and once opened and exposed, it will only work for a bit.

If it's a new one in each and you quickly opened it, put it in the light and sealed it in the oven then you will not have a problem.

If not, it will not do anything but take up space inside your light...

We took a few photo's I am in the process of building a new PC, so I wasnt able to access those photos last night. As soon as I get my new PC put together I will post any of the pics that came out well.

This thread is basically a How-To thread... Some things really boil down to the ability of the person doing the work.

What looks easy on the internet, is normally due to great planning and skill.

Thumbs up

the difference from merc's and the reg hid kit is when he is driving from behind the lights will flicker! like audi's Bmw's and nissans do! are hid kits just stay pretty blue which is great also in person jimmys projectors look good he said he still isnt finished thoe...

The Color changing thing is a reality of the type of light and the lens. Sadly, it is distracting but I as I said, the only people who complain about HID are those who don't have HID..
