My Skinny Boy Lighting HID projector upgrade

Hey everyone. I know I haven't been on here much, but it doesn't mean I haven't been playing with my cars.

Last fall I ordered an HID projector beam conversion headlight set up from Skinny Boy lighting http://skinnyboylighting-com.webs.com/

I didn't much care for the looks of just a single upgraded housing on each side, so for the sake of uniformity, I had Kyle build me a set of "Dummy" projector housings for the high beam location.

This set up is 55W 5000k bulb temp with amber led Demon Eyes in each of the housings. Chrome inner housings with matte silver shrouds to reduce some of the "bling" of the all chrome housings.

I have the demon eye set up and wired on as parking lights and turnsignals to also help facilitate my next project I'll be showing off soon.

Huge improvement over the stock lights, and I really like the way it looks as well.

Some people like the look, others don't but that is how this car has been the whole way. Enjoy and feel free to ask questions. I don't get on here often, anymore, but I'll try to be quick with reply's.

They are fuctional as an additional turnsignal/marker light as I have the demon eye wired up. The amber demon eyes (inner & outer) flash with the turns, and when the headlights are on only the inners will appear, and flash, as the demon eye in the headlights gets washed out with the HID light output. They do not work as an actual headlight even though it appears they could... Dummy light ... There is a method to my madness, just not done with it.

I agree! I don't care for the halos either. Get you some!
