yes yes i know, im interested in it cause i cant find my own.

 

[Mr. Win]

Ill give credit where its due... Those are the best retro fits i've seen and that ring really helps the look. One of these days when I have the cash I'll design one these.

 

[Chicoloco]

Thank Yous (drinks) I was able to find the BJ tag @ ebay.

With the interior of the light. is that a carbon fiber covering (tape) or what?

Excellent job!

 

[Chicoloco]

Real carbon fiber sheet. Sturdy but flexible enough.

 

[rednecks_r_us]

That looks really good. Congrats on a job well done.

 

[Chicoloco]

Thanks. What's your setup, red? Projectors ballasts etc...?

 

[Witchdoktor]

great job!

Wow man - AWESOME job. I like the pictures of them off almost more than I like them on. They look SOOOO clean.

Mind if we (I) ask you to ballpark your total cost for the project ?

 

[Chicoloco]

Let's see,

140 for projectors
140 for ballasts, ignitors and it came
with used but in good condition bulbs. (they cost ~80 new)
40 for shrouds (chrome ring)
30 for cf sheet
20 for screws, nuts, epoxy
45 Wire Harness
200 for new headlights -
615~Total.

Hundred of hours reading and searching...

I was lucky ballasts came with bulbs. But ive seen the projectors(e55s), ballasts and ignitors go for lower than that. Plus what i saved for doing it myself. Easily ~250 bucks. I bought new headlights because my front clear lens were in bad shape. I asked for someone making the lights for me and they estimated around $600 sending the lights to him w/o harness and installation (obvious) I saved a few bucks on that too. You can see the results, i love driving at night, and they are so OEM like (all parts i used are OEM) and how many proteges with projectors do you see (bah(gun) at the aftermarket not making them). You guys remember the Xenon dude that was removed from selling hid kits. I was so but so close on buying one of those kits. They were around 300 bucks at that time.

I would def. be interested if you, or anyone for that matter decided to start producing these (naughty)
