custom retrofit sleepy eyes
Hey guys,
I was thinking you would probably want to see what took me an entire week to conjure up. They are NSX HID projectors wired into D2S HID setup. Enjoy!

Not bad at all! I was thinking about doing the same thing... do you use the manuel adjustment on the motors or are you using your switch? If your using your switch what makes them stop at that hight? Looks really good!

How much was it all together? How did you get them aligned? Difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10?

Hey guys, thanks for the kind remarks. To answer your question, I spent around 600 after it was all said and done. I got a good deal on the projectors, so it wasn't as bad. But...as far as difficulty, I would say about an 8.5/10, because it is hard to get it right, make everything close up, and the pop ups to line up right too. It was a huge PITA, but in the end it's all worth it right?

I agree with Daivd, show some pics of them at night, lighting up the road. Although I have a good idea that, if aimed correctly, they will out perform the stockers since that isn't hard to do

I'll get some night shots for you guys later tonight, but if you Torrance fellas want to meet up tomorrow night around 6:30pm locally and potentially roll up to Signal Hill for a short meet, I'm down.

Here are some pics, the cutoff is a bit off because I noticed I need to raise the left side a bit, but you get the idea
