I like how my grille looks. The lights are not blinding, they're aimed /w the projectors.

...and with the HIDs, you don't need either set. Keep the larger ones for looks and ditch the others, it looks bad with 2 mismatched sets in the air dam. Otherwise very nice, clean looking install.

are those the audi projectors you implanted in the e36 lights? that's what brandon did right? where did you get those from? sorry if this has been answered by brandon, it's hard to search just for that answer, when there is so much talk about these. thanks.

yep, audi projectors. i got them from brandon too

i'm thinking of taking out those rings if i have lots of time on my hands...getting them cut at school on the macheniry there and polishing them enough s they're chromed out should increase the light output a little bit, or at least make the source of the light larger. the audis have the projectors and the housing reflects the light too, on our cars, the light just comes out of the projector

Who knows where he got them... hmmm 2 sets of Audi projectors in short time... maybe we shouldn't ask!

I'm pretty sure they're Audi A6 projectors though.
