It has begun!

More photos tomorrow. I didn't take in-process pics with my camera, so I gotta get those from my friend. Not that there's much beyond that to look at right now.

More (text) details please.

It's a projector for his HIDs most likely. He's putting them in himself rather than buying headlights with projectors in.

Not gonna work

Why won't it work? Do those projector housings only accept D2S bulbs or something? I hope he isn't putting his oznium HIDs in a non-HID projector. If he does, I'd hate to be the fella in oncomming traffic.

Yes, that is what I am doing. I can't buy headlights with projectors already in them because they don't exist for my car.

And it'll work just fine, don't listen to pOrky.

hmm, i don't like it
maybe...on the next one, cut it cleaner

That's far from done, fyi. The cut will be cleaner on the other one just cause now I've done it once so it'll be easier to template it up.

Now try that on my headlights.

Okay, so lets say Aken figures out how to make it work ( which he wont ). This is how horrible its going to look:

So yah, now he has HID's but they are the gayest thing since Richard Simmons started taking Prozac

ummmmmmm....

Nice double post there...

Blah blah blah. You don't know all of my plans for it, nor understand what I was trying to show you online, and it'll look great to ME when it's done, which is all that matters.

Hey Aken, do you have the shroud for that projector? It will really clean the looks up. Also, you may wanna paint the headlight reflector.

Both are in the plans. Don't worry, it'll look much much better when completed.

no it wont

Go make your own then

For what, my 62 caddy? ***

ahh i remember that discussion.... that projector just does not look like it will work correctly



aken... you need to put some tv screens in there to take up all the extra room

Why wouldn't it work correctly? You're all way too negative. I shouldn't even post the results of this project just because everyone **** bashes me for it.

I'm liking it Eric. Everyone can ***** about how it looks but I'm sure they've never tried a projector retrofit. You're not one to do things halfass, I'm sure it will look amazing when you're finished.

it will work....I just wish you were using a better projector.

I'm interested to see how it will turn out and delighted that you are finally doing projectors.

I'd like a better projector, but for $30 it was hard to pass these up :)

Most of you people need to realize that it's not even HALF done yet. There has been no cosmetic work even done yet. Yikes! You'll all see

The only thing not looking good is Aken's face.
I think the headlight looks fine so far.

Go Aken! ( I always root for the underdog). Y'all are going to be SO red-faced if it works and looks good.

how about when you did those red wheels. everyone was bashing on you for it too but it ended up getting compliments. i am personally curious to see how it comes out.

See, Eric and I look alike so that means anything he does pretty much automatically kicks ass.

yeah the only thing i don't really like is the way the projector looks... but from the beamshot he posted of it.. it looks good

i wanna do a bi-xenon projector set-up real bad on my current truck... but i'll probably hold off until i get my next truck and do a 4 bi-xenon projector set-up in the headlights


our project has much potential for it... be nice to see what the end product is

Get back to work Aken, how are you attaching the projectors?

^ man sauce

Mounting to the reflector portion using screws and bolts through stock locations on the projector.
