Yes, any pics that show output or show the projector turned on have the 6000k DDM tunning HID kit installed

You do, in the projector lens you see the yellow glow. Which I love. However, the light that is being output is white/very small tint blue since they are 6000k bulbs.

Lets see....
J30 headlights...................$70
Clear Glass for 95 lights.......$70
Halos...............................$30
DDM Tunning HID Kit...........$50
Shrouds............................$15
Paint and Epoxy..................$35

Around $270

Keep in mind though, I had spare headlight housings to work with. If I had bought new ones the total would be closer to $350

As for labor costs. I really dont have time to do this for anyone else. I'd love to help people out and make so extra cash, but it really is ALOT of work. Id ask Chris, hes got his ways down pat.

Ok, Does anyone have CLEAR GLASS for 95-96 housings?

One of the glass pieces I bought from Chris was shattered during shipping. Its depressing.

I need to know if anyone has them! I NEED them.

Update:

Im working tonight on finishing the retro!!!!!!
I am having to transplant 97+ clear housing glass to my 95-96 housings. The curve on the glass is different... but it fits... I just need to seal them differently.

Hopefully I should have my angel eyes soldered to my parking lights tonight or tomorrow morning, i cant wait to get install pictures for you guys!

It was a b*tch to get them to fit lol. I ended up patching the gaps between the housings and lens with cardboard then covered it with clear epoxy/goo to seal them tight.... and... it worked. Ill upload pics in a second.
