Lets see how this one turns our first. Im starting to want to drill out some of the holes on the shroud and mount some led's behind to light up similiar to the newer land rover sport headlights.

updated with beam shots. I would start marking the mount holes but I already started with the vodka so I would regret doing any work further tonight. :) Tomorrow is my 11 year anniversary so I have off tomorrow hence my early consumption of the svedka!

The shots are with a crappy cam and from 10'. The color is pretty intense and I'm satisfied with em. Yeah, everything is brand new and morimoto. Are you using the bulb spacers?

Well, my FXR's came with bulb spacers. Basically its a big washer.. Not sure if it makes a big difference though.

I've been out of the HID world for a while. What makes the FX-Rs different from the normal FXs? Your cutoff is much sharper than the FXs I used to have.

What made you chose bixenon since the 1.5 headlights have high beams? Nonetheless, everything looks sweet!
