Finally Completed My Retrofit

Alright guys i finally finished my e46 retrofit. I used The ebay projector housing and placed a bosch e46 projector. Wasn't as hard as i thought for pics check out my homepage. Its on page 2. I used Dr Roys write up as reference and i didn't use a bezel so theres a small gap but projector is centered . One my ballast are damaged so i wasn't able to take nightime pics. Hope you Enjoy

Excellent work. Did you use a wiring harness? Seing as how the stock wiring is not designed with HID in mind.. maybe your wiring is shot... Can't wait for the night shots. Take a couple shots of your cutoff against a wall or garage, some down-the-road shots, and a couple of front shots with your hid on. Good job

Good Job, i did my Retro like 2 weeksd ago but i used the MDX projectors, and a 4300K HID kit. light out put is incredible. and the cut off looks great. i betyou can fit some MDX Bezels. did u change out the LED's in the angel eyes also? That also makes a huge difference. i also managed to put some glass pieces where the parking, and blinker lights are for a cleaner look. but cutting out the glass in that shape was a PITA. (I would never have been able to do the whole retro w/out the help of Dr. roy))
