I love them so much, I let my halos warm up before I took the shots, so those are the halos at full warmup/charge.

I can light up the road at night in Arizona with just those. I don't condone it, or suggest it if there are other vehicles on the road. But it is nice to pull over, watch the stairs, and still have some lights.

Source for the "Legendary" dog bowl

I found a source for the "Legendary" dog bowl that many have asked about.

HERE


I'm not sure if anyone is still looking for the "shroud" but it's a great idea for an incredibly inexpensive shroud and the PetSmart link mentioned earlier in this thread is no longer working.


cheers

very nice addition to an awesome retrofit. Can the angel eyes be made to function as DRLs? (as in, come on automatically whenever the parking brake is not engaged)

Too bad you can't post up pictures without having to log in... what a waste, wanted to see the pictures of your retro, but this just feels like a free advertisement to that forum

That looks VERY sexy, I saw someone with a similar shroud somewhere in Fremont CAlifornia, and it didn't look that good on the Fit, the Fit's headlight case is way too big. the dog bowl is perfect for our cars =D

Thank you For posting this DIY I just finished my retro and love it. I used aftermarket ballasts and bulbs. Have the high beams running as well.

So where is a good place to get the bulbs for the FX35 projectors, and do you need the ballasts?
