My Bi-Xenon HID Retrofit
I finally put it together and they came out looking pretty decent. I still need to figure out what is wrong with the wiring harness, because when I hit the high beams the shield flips but the headlights turn off. Well here are some pics for now.
FX35 Projectors and HID hardware, painted semi-gloss, with smoked amber reflector and clear cover for the light at the top back of the headlight that is always on with the headlights (forgot the exact name of it).

lol yeah I wasn't kidding. It is the smallest dog bowl I could find at petsmart.
BTW, I havent forgotten about the DIY retrofit, I just need to make some time and write it up. I took a lot of pics so even if my explanation suck hopefully the pictures will answer your questions.
I am actually thinking about doing the retrofit on the spare headlights I have and sell one of my retrofits. Anyone interested? PM me. |

I think the semi-gloss also looks really good since it isn't very reflective and shiny like the NHBP headlights nor all flat with no shine when painted flat black. I just think there is too much surface to paint it all flat black. The semi-gloss really blends in nicely and match up with my optional fog lights.
ONE MORE THING, thanks for the compliment everyone.
