custom headlights...

i recently did changed my signal bulbs to switchback led bulb (stays on white, then switches to amber when turn signal is on) it requires a double filament socket which our fits do not have so i did some custom modding...i used a universal double filament socket and tapped it to the existing socket & parking wire. i am positive that i am the 1st fit to do this mod. here are some pics i took earlier before it started to rain.

here is just driving light switched on (parking + ccfl angeleyes + led strip + signal)

Heres a little trick I learned. If you don't wanna paint your reflectors, but don't want the glare, you can take aluminum tape, fold it on itself (basically sticky part to sticky part) and put it around the back of your projector, where the light is venting out causing the glare and it'll get rid of that. But ya, you should take care of the glare. Kinda defeats the purpose of the projector.
