projectors Suck..(update)

So I've had one projector installed for about a month now, still stock on the passenger side, I was feeling energetic and thought I'd decide to change it.

Here's a pic that shows why projectors BLOW, on the right you'll see my finished/installed one. On the left is with the stock headlight and bracket removed and I have it sitting in there as far as it'll go..

I don't have any pics of where I cut, but if someone wants I'll get some tomorrow..

Here's what the passenger side looks like now (THIS IS NOT FINISHED, AT ALL). This only took me about an hour, I was using the dremel and had broke probably 4 discs already and my dad came out and showed me why a sawzall is way better, haha. Cut out the main parts and shoved it in there, it started to get dark, I'm gonna tweak it all tomorrow, and hopefully paint my other corner light amber, to match the other side, whatcha think?

Cardomain must be havin hard times right now. I suggest setting up a geocities webpage and using that to host. Direct link from the file manager instead of the actual webpage.

The projectors are going to provide much better lighting than stock for sure, but until you get it installed like awsm66 or James92SE, I just don't like the way they line up. I am sure at night it will make my stock lights look weak, though.

either you dont know how to put up pics on your cardomain or you dont know how to link pics from cardomain. from the looks of your cardomain page, 95% of your pics look like all of these pics

Those are the BMW lights right? I have the same ones except with the angel eyes, except I can't get my projectors to work. The angel eyes work, and the daytime lights work, just not the projectors. How did you wire the back?

before u call it done make sure you clean up that rats nest of wiring next to the battery there. it'll save u some troubleshoot time in the future.

I was adjusting the Durango's lights last night, mainly the fogs (they were aimed too far down after my last off-road adventure . One day I'll tighten up the mounting for them. Anywho, it's sad how much more light that thing throws down compared to the maxima. Even worse is that it is on its stock set of headlight bulbs. The factory fog light bulbs on the other hand, we would have to change one side ~ every 6 months lol.
