Custom bixenon retrofit in progress

Got some work done on my new lights today, figured people usually like to see this sort of stuff, so here's a few pictures.

Fx35 bixenons + m35 bezels with ccfl rings behind them, to be wired up with the city lights.




for this car

very nice...i like the bezel. You should go to orchards if you have one near you. They have more of a sortment of nuts, bolts then home depot that are more retrofitter friendly.

was in the midst of test fitting everything... going to need to do a bit more trimming to set the projector a little further back in the housing to get everything to work nicely.
