Retro'd 08 SS/TC

Finished this project a couple weeks ago, but I just now was able to get pics up. I'm going to try to get full cutoff pics tonight. Sorry for the dirty car, also the headlight lenses need to have some waterspots and small scratches polished out of them. Oh, lower grill will be back on this weekend, Lowering springs will be going on next.

Murano Projectors
STI-Replica clear lenses
Matsushita Ballasts
85122+ Phillips 4300k DTS Bulbs
BMW E46 shrouds
















A couple others....Lowering springs will be up next.

Hmm...... They look good but I think if you had painted the chrome shroud black it would look better, but they still look sweet....

Here's a pic of mine, I wish I wouldnt have gotten the halo's being that one doesnt work and I dont feel like tearing apart the
headlight to replace it....

Thanks for the comments guys! I'll get night pics ASAP. There is probably around 60-70 hours of work in them, although I could probably reproduce them now in about 20 hours. As far as price, this is from my memory, so may not be perfect...

Shrouds and lenses = ~130
Projectors = ~80
Ballasts= ~120
Bulbs= ~80
Spare headlights =~75

Plus add about 75 for all the misc parts for building the wiring harness and hardware for mounting them.

Haha, I've had a couple people ask now. I've graduated and don't have a garage to work in anymore, so I won't be able to do anything for another year unless I borrow a garage
