btw i was thinking of having them blackhoused (too late now) but you think blackhousing might look good on a white max?

Looks pretty damn good. I was really considering this in the future, as our HIDs would look/perform 10x better in a projector. Nice work.

+1 on the cutoff pics!

hmm this whole thing costs me about $1100'ish but i kinda lost track of the cost. headlights alone is what killed me

i had to get the depot ones from ebay with the hids and stuff lol

btw sickmax your car looks sweet man

i think i'll try blackhousing if i do get another retrofit in the future

black and white is awsome!

it's just one projector in the low beam area. they used the projector lense from an integra for the turn signal area. it fits perfectly in there too.

I like them, however the oem chrome trim around the bezel is giving a reflection against the bezel simulating some sort of angel eye, which I do not like too much. Good job however.

WOW, The whole time, i thought it was and angel eye ring.. Good job with it, but can you black out the OE housing or something to eliminate that reflection...

lol i just noticed that. never came to me that it looked like angel eyes

it must be the flash that made it come out more i guess i don't know lol but it's too late to paint the housing black now since it's already shipped. plus the stock housing color sort of matches the shroud

i was actually thinking that would have been tops with those DDEs, but if the setup naturally incurs an angeleye effect, then i think blacking the outter housing would have been best.. then again i havent seen the light output/cutoff pics, so...
