Well this week i had a four day weekend off from school so i decided it was time to get started on my retrofit because i was tired of looking at the parts all them time. Well it took me many hours and i ended up working until 5:30 in the morning this morning to get them done. I kept running into problem after problem, but thankfully i had a friend of mine helpin me out with the install into the car, that really helped because it was very cold and there were light fluries all night. I still have a few things to work out and that is why i am not posting beam patterns yet. I hope to have them up real soon.
Here your guys go, enjoy!

wow
that looks really good. i love how pissed off the max looks with projectors, very nice. did you put angel eyes in? also i suggest putting in new bulbs for your clear corners, i hate how the orange bulb reflects the orange. maybe get those chrome on the outside bulbs, but produce an amber light- that would make your front end perfect.

thanks! no i didnt do angel eyes, although i wanted to they just wouldnt fit in right with this huge projector, so i will be sellin that entire setup hopefully. as for the clear corners, i found a paint for bulbs that makes them chrome but still shine the color, so i am going to buy them and paint all my bulbs.Originally Posted by max prodigy

gto400no1,
Your car is looking real sexy...as all have said...the other thing is its nice to see another local maxima with this setup. My folks live in Franklinville, so I'm in your area often. Surprised you didn't pull the max in the garage though...but the lights look great. Make sure you get the HI/LOW working properly so you don't have any inspection problems. I'm hoping that they don't give me beef about my inspection this March...

Thanks alot man! i wish i could have pulled my car into the garage but it is full of soo much stuff, we havent been able to put a car in there in a long time. The high and low beam seem to work although im having a little trouble with the driver side projector, it seems to stick somtimes so ill have to check into that more when it gets warmer, its soo cold out right now.Originally Posted by nupe500

What are some of the problems that you were running into?
right now my main problem is that my driver side headlight dont seem to be in right or somthing, i can see it physically, and also that is causing the light to go right into the ground so right now all i can see is with light out of the passenger side. i would have fixed it tonight but it is wayyy too cold.Originally Posted by meanbean
Looking good gto400no1. Quote:
