Update: I did the driver side today and put the projector to sit further back. Much much better IMO. Will get daytime pics tomorrow. The purpose of this was to more or less supplement the low beam. These projectors are tiny and aren't designed to be used as a main source of lighting. More of an auxilary/fog light projector. Andd that was my sisters room not mine












I do plan to purchase some fxr 2.0s to put in the low beam reflector.
Lovely beam.

I bet the next round of questions will be:

Why were you in your sisters room?

Does she live in a garage?

overall the retro looks nice. it is also low key enough that most people will not even notice what you have done, until you turn them on at night. hopefully those matchbox projectors(which is what I think you have used) will not have heat problems in the long run.
