Good day at the junkyard

Well it was my day off, and I havent had a day off for about 2 months, so I went Around to a few junk yards, and I found

-clips for my center console
- 97 clear lenses headlights
- BMW 525i projectors

Called up chrisman, and he told
Me that I could probably get them to work

Retrofit here I come!

They're pretty much just clips. Don't forget the H7 HID kit and 9004 HID relay wiring harness.

Those are for 2.5" lenses Plus, those are cheaper from TRS.

I suggest these;

You can definitely cut off rings from the back to shorten them up if you have to but I don't think you will.
