Custom Headlights - Bi Xenon Projectors

Probably the last Project by VIPCLK320. These HID Projectors are amazing. I purposely worked late just to drive home at night. So bright you can drive at night with your sunglasses on

Williams:

Are these projectors still available for purchase?

Also - I was off-forum for a long time - back now - and I had forgotten how sweet your ride is. Question: What's the ET of your rear rims and are you using any spacers back there? If so, what size? I know you run 20's, but I just picked up a set of 19" Lorinser LM5's - my favorite wheel style. (I had 18" LM5's but came across the 19's in classifieds and they were too good to pass up!) They're ET38, but I need them to come out to the fender just a touch for "aesthetic perfection." Your rears are lined up just the way I'd like mine to look. So let me know.

Thanks!

Those are amazing because Ash is the man. He succeeds at everything he touches that's CLK related. He's got the rare combination of being intelligent, meticulous, and relentless. The lights have found a good home - on one of the world's most famous CLKs.

@ASH- Other than the 488GTB, what are you driving now?

Thanks lowphat. Check out the Southwest Star too. The latest issue just went to press a couple of hours ago.

Well Ash has had my car for about a month. He'll have it for another week so you might want to get a hold of him because my car is being shipped back to Japan next week.

One of the world's most famous CLKs, you are too nice

Unfortunately Ash is not in the business of selling anymore.

Fronts

Rears
ET32, 3mm spacer = ET29, 10j

Very nice and a huge difference, i modified a set Ash had made awhile back that was damaged and updated it with clear lens vs the fresnel lens that were in there, and modified the shield to give a purple line at the cut off like the s2000 ... Was tempted to part it out when I sold my clk bc it was such a huge upgrade, but ended up letting the new owner enjoy them
