Hey all,

I am at it again with my projector headlight build, but this time I am using some really nice projectors from TheRetrofitSource! I am using Mini D2S projectors with the x-lens and Apollo 1.0 square shrouds. Here is what I have so far! Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,
Dane Austin

Nothing is mounted or final with these yet. This is still a W.I.P.! I thought these were going to be hard to fit in the headlight given their slightly larger size compared to the mini H1s. I will keep everyone posted on how it goes so tune in to see it complete. Oh and I am working on some tails too! ;)

Update! High towered the one. I am leaning towards leaving the chrome on the inside...and look, you get to see my LED strip!

(I have the pictures set to only me on facebook so I am not sure if these will show for everyone else)
 
Thanks guys, I will have another update on Friday! I am getting the rest of the parts to finish up both builds. Stay updated!
 
Need some opinions. Added an array of 8 LED lights for turn signal. I am going to keep them for this build but I would like opinions. Thanks!

Tail lights update! One done, one to go. (Two if you count the center reflector)

(IGNORE THE TAPE, USED IT TO HOLD THE LENS ON BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO SEAL THEM IF I DID NOT LIKE THEM)

To be honest I'd tone down the LED's in the headlight. It's a bit much and they start looking cheesy after a while. Even some of the auto manufacturers are just throwing them on their cars to keep up with the competition without any real thought or design effort. I think the headlights look great without them. As for the tails I really like them. Keep up the good work and props for giving this a shot.
 
Almost complete! Testing the lens to make sure it will fit properly. I am beyond excited to finish these.

Finished them up today. My crappy phone camera does not do these justice. I am in love with them. I hope to get better pictures in a couple days. Enjoy.
