sdatrlp23's Retrofits!

Hello everyone!

I'm creating this thread to post pictures of headlight retrofits I've done and am continuing to do. Feel free to comment if you'd like, or just take a look.

Starting off with these:

-New OEM Style Headlight Hosuings
-Morimoto Mini H1 6.0 Projectors
-Black Housing & Painted Reflector Bowl
-Gatling Gun 2.0 Shrouds
-White XBaled Angel Eyes
-Cutoff Shield Painted Black
-Morimoto 3Five Ballasts
-Morimoto 3Five Bulbs - 5000K













And they ended up getting changed to this before sending them out:
-Tinted Side Markers
-Black Turn Signal Reflector Bowls

This next set is very unique, but aren't they all?
The pictures below are the same set of lights, but pictures were taken at different angles.







Now here is how it would look with a chrome shroud.

Headlight Comparison: Stock vs. H1 Projector Retrofits

Here is a set of comparison photos to just show you without words why retrofits are so beneficial (aside from how great they look).

Stock Halogen Low Beams





Stock Halogen High Beams





Stock Halogen Low & High Beams






Mini H1 Projectors Low Beam - 35W 4300K Bulbs






Mini H1 Projectors High Beam - 35W 4300K Bulbs



Note: There are ditches on either side in the pictures, so the full width of the projectors' beam isn't seen.

This thread is very cool, nice work, but for anyone reading, let's keep the thread FTE legal and not post anything that would imply selling in any way, shape or manner please!

Thanks.

Stewart
