To the OP, Great Job!!!

Thanks guys.

Nemoxfishy, our headlight housings are a little big, but the projector is pretty big too. I'll take some better pics once I get some half decent weather.

Dawgs, The shrouds I used cover the entire back portion of the headlight housing. The only piece you see is the projector lens itself, and the bezel. I'll post a pic of the shroud when i get home since the pics are on my mac.

I'll go through all the pics I took during the whole process, and if theres enough to properly illustrate all my steps, then I'll make a DIY tutorial.

Akfahad, I've never really though about taking orders on this to tell you the truth. I'd have to find a source for all the parts.

I'd have to somewhat agree but than again that modification looks way better than the stock look. The Gen 1.5 doesn't really have that emptiness issue, actually its the opposite, everything is tight.

Glad to see the shrouds went to good use man, that looks really nice! Part of me still wants to mod a vert...

^Would these be the shrouds I sold you? If so, x2 for putting those to use!

by **TLMNICK** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 12:16 pm

Indeed the shrouds did go to good use. I wouldnt mind getting my hands on some more...if they exist anywhere...lol

Those were custom vacuum formed to my retro. I'm impressed you were able to fit them to yours. Are you using the FX projectors?

by **TLMNICK** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 2:32 pm

Really eh?. I managed to fit them in nice n snug. The only real modification i made to them was the removal of that metal ring surrounding the projector. Yea I'm using FX projectors.

Where did you have them made?

it would look better with angel eyes too.

but it looks real clean and professional for a DIY project. good job.

I had them made by Greg Cheban, a moderator on theretrofitsource.com. He's done some work for a few members on SG and always does a nice job.

Very nice man.
Man i'm so laggin' behind on my retrofit....

Darn weather is gettin' too cold to mount my headlight to aim it....
Can't wait to see wall pictures man.

Thanks guys....im kinda anxious to get it out and get some wall pics too..but im sure i'm gonna have some fine adjustments to make.

Chinky420, I'm not a huge fan of angel eyes. I'll leave those to the BMWs. It looks better on them since they have two circles in each housing, which makes it look wicked. I think they'd look outa place on mine. Actually any headlight housing that can accomodate two rings would look decent.
