Took apart projectors
So I took my projectors apart with a hair dryer and they pulled right apart. I was reading about a hundred different pages on hidplanet of how to make light output and your color band better by actually spacing out the bulb from the lense and also to get more color to actually bend the shield a little bit. So I figured if I mess it up i'll retro....and I was surprised to see how big of a difference it made....might be a good fix for you guys with projectors and no HIDs. Anyways...to the PICS!

BEFORE:



AND AFTER:






JUST FOR FUN:



What do you guys think?

trust me you have no idea....took me 5 hours to do this to both the headlights....and no it really doesn't have anything to do with aiming them i swear....wait for the how-to! Hint....its all about bulb placement and shield bending

Guys u just have to trust me on this one til the how-to comes out. I spent a week straight of going thru information on halogen projectors....I know what I'm talking about here

If i remember right I don't think the red was as intense as the blue/purple. If I remember it was more of a brown/red.....if that helps
