Theyre pretty easy to make with just a tiny bit of fiberglass work. I gotta get around to making my set one of these days.

Re: Buy Your Projector Headlights

I have heard I just would rather start with seeing a pair in hand before I start making my own.

Re: Buy Your Projector Headlights

the fogs are a little diff story, putting a bright HID light in there is only gonna mke them usefull when alone on a back road. if you do a 35w HID down in the yellow spectrum, it wouldnt be so bad.

im fine with them being on backroads. thats where i need them. the foglights are great for hilly roads cause they see over the hill sooner. if i can have him build me this setup im willing to pay good money.

Re: Buy Your Projector Headlights

according to his posts, it was $213 just for the parts. not including the cost to get him to do the work and ship them to you.

Re: Buy Your Projector Headlights
