This is my second retro attempt and I think I'm doing good so far.
I used FX-Rs on my first retro but one of the projectors was off rotation and I wasn't able to fix it because my car is my daily driver so I decided to build another set.

I bought everything at The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications

Here's what I'll be using.

I had to do some trimming but nothing serious, I also sanded the reflector.

I'm going to aim the projectors tomorrow, and I'll be updating soon.

I like those a lot man, wonder how the blacked out center bar is going to effect light output.

Let us know how it compares to stock with those reflectors.

Time for updates :)

I'm almost done with this project
I aimed the projectors today, it was easier than I thought, I also mounted the shroud and put the bezel back on.
I'm going to seal the headlights tomorrow and I'm going to buff out the lenses someday this week.

Some wall shots.

I received my new Morimoto Ballasts on friday and I also sealed and buffed the headlights.
They are going on the car tonight.

I highly recommend this projectors to anyone looking for an affordable yet efficient retro, and what better place to get them than The Retrofit Source online: headlight upgrades for all applications, excellent customer service,custommer support, top notch quality products, couldn't ask for more.

Now onto the pics.
