I dont think its too expensive to tackle that project yourself. Im just worried how I would get the lights lined up and working properly!

That is on str8 line bro!!!!

nice work getting them level.

What projector did you go with? What method of keeping the level/aiming did you use?

I have to get off my a$$ and make mine already!
 
fitment? Those can't be OEM lights with that big of a gap. Other than that, those do really look great

About how much is it to make a pair yourself? I know price will differ depending on what projector you go with, but I dont have the cash to spend over 100 on just lighting. I got lights that work fine for now. Just curious how much this project ran ya.
 
depends on projectors then the HID system to fit the projectors and your vehicle!

And im sure you already go lights to do it to! If you dont want down time about another 200 bucks to grab a pair of headlights!

Its expensive but well worth it!

I bought some used 5 series projectors along with 5 series HID's... For the aiming I used the factory reflector and cut a hole big enough to house the projector. Set it in and played around with it till I got the line straight.

These are factory headlights but the hood wasn't fully closed and the black rubber trim piece on top isn't on.

No, it's not quite up to par yet... I just passed 329k.. I think I'm sitting at 329,250.

Well it took probably a couple months... But I didnt work on them non stop. And my funds werent all there at one time. If someone had the money and the parts they could easily be done in a month at the latest.
