(New Goodies)Need Your Opinion on Headlight Color!(Lots of Pics) Reply #17 – February 22, 2012, 11:32:22 PM that is bright. Is that thing running 5000K's or just Silverstar halogens? ...as for color, I don't really know myself. I think the same color as the round light would be best, to take attention away from how out of place it looks. If the whole thing was chrome, it might look kind of natural. Quote Selected

Mine look good in black Reply #20 – February 23, 2012, 07:37:15 AM I used Hella E55 halogen projectors with Panamera shrouds and clear lenses. I left the shrouds chrome and painted the buckets black. Quote Selected

I left the shrouds chrome and painted the buckets black.Nice! Did you vacuum form your lenses? Did you do the install or have someone else, did you make any threads about it, if so a link would be awesome!? :D How do like using projectors, it is suppose to take some getting use to, especially the sharp cut off. I'm slightly surprised, I figured this was going to be the first install of projectors into the aero birds, but apparently not! Quote from: vinnietbird;381539Get with Chrometech USA.

(New Goodies)Need Your Opinion on Headlight Color!(Lots of Pics) Reply #23 – February 23, 2012, 11:12:02 AM I meant clear projector lenses, sourced from TRS, E55 projectors from a wrecked 2010 taurus, and shrouds, ground the diffusions out of the inside of the lenses and polished them til the were clear. I'm not real happy with the lenses because they seem to have lots of little micro crack in them you can see with the lights on. In any case the cutoff brings something of a learning curve, both with aiming and driving, but almost anything is better than 9004's inside diffused housings with tarnished chrome buckets. My light pattern is good, but I think my left one is rotated about 2 degrees from flat. And as you can see from the pics, I have many other issues with the car to address before I get back to the lights. I have a few more pics though. Quote Selected

Do you cut the plug off the donor car or how did you do that part?http://www.americanmuscle.com/mustang-angel-eye-headlights.html Quote Selected
(New Goodies)Need Your Opinion on Headlight Color!(Lots of Pics) Reply #29 – February 24, 2012, 12:53:56 PM I ordered this kit.http://www.theretrofitsource.com/product_info.php?products_id=227&osCsid=lkprgr51f33t3fm5bv79cmtuu6j97dneAnd made my own vacuum formed clear lenses.The kit comes with everything needed including wiring, fuses, relays, ballasts, projectors, and bulbs! It is top quality stuff, I would say every bit as good as any OEM projectors. It plugs right into the factory harness so there is absolutely no cutting on the factory harness! Quote Selected
