Re: finally did somethingwith the headlight

damn man, you got to it before i did. i've been thinking about doing this for a while... just w/o the HID part. so how did it turn out? and where did you get your projector lens?

When I click this link, all I see is a nitro powered radio controlled car! Am I the only one seeing it? D@MN.

Edited. Nevermind. Had to hit the refresh button. That pic used to be a radio controlled car!
A pretty sweet looking Subaru WRX at that!

well the r/c i painted my self and that r/c is fast 60 mph...., amd the projectors only took me 2 hours and its bmw 5 series projectors. i try others but would look that nice. the beam pattern is better now since the projectors and its gives the car a meaner look.... thnaks for the commons

Here are the pics!

Thanks to costcowholesale for hosting. He was one of the few who has seen them. Me, along with many others, saw only the WRX RC. Here are the real pics...

aren't they awesome?

my only real concern is how sealed it is...I really want them to be water/moisture proof.


Anyone like bi-xenon? just let me know

Look on ebay...you can see how much they go for. Unless you get lucky at a junk yard or something.

The GD we're in is a pretty sweet price tho..esp for bi-xenons

drilling the housing is easy, you just need a steady hand and its easy. i got my projectors with bulbs for $100....i dont need the extra bulbs so if any one is interested in getting a pair of philips d2s bulb give me a offer.
