Nice...that looks like it would take longer than just a weekend. Good Job! The cutoff looks kinda high...maybe its just the angle of the picture though.

Nah, the housing wasn't mounted yet. I just wanted a comparison between 9007 xtravision (lower right) beam pattern and TL beam pattern.

Like I said... I did it over the weekend. I need to drill four more holes, make the last half of my harness and possibly hack away at whatever is in its' way, but it really isn't that big of a project. You just have to enjoy working on it.

However you definitely need a dremel/safety glasses, drill, soldering iron, wire stripper, and various other tools, not to mention aluminum tape, silicon sealant (that I barely used), etc. I had to get some JBweld as 2 of the clips on my CE housings were DOA. (repairable, luckily)

The projector retrofit bug strikes again! Excellent craftsmanship!

Those TLs look lovely. The fit looks pretty good.

Thanks all. Don't think anyone has done a retro like this before, so it's nice to get comments and opinions. Yeah, the output is diminished a bit by fitting the projector so recessed in the housing, but I think it looks significantly better.

My car's in the shop today, getting the alarm removed, so hopefully I'll have the lights in soon. Still trying to figure out where to mount the ballasts and relays and how to secure the harness...

4x4max, yeah I just up and decided to take this on a week or so ago, something I've always wanted to do but never had the money to until now. Send me the videos soon, I'm still very interested to see 'em.

Nice lie. Bandwidth has been exceeded since before you posted.

If you really want to see 'em the bandwidth should be reset in a day and a half.
