please read, i know it sucks but it describes stuff

well i was supposed to be working on my headlights to get them done but lacking motivation and time hardcore with school and work to modify the core support.. so after getting pulled over for my HIDs in my fogs i realized i shouldnt have them on blinding everyone.. I knew this but figured since no one was flashing me it must not been as bad as i thought.. but it was. So i decided to fix that. Was only able to get 1 mostly done so far, just need to seal it up. The longest part was trimming going back seeing if it fit etc.. the second one shouldnt take as long.. also.. i HACKED the hell out of the stock fogs its ridiculous.. Some people just cut a hole in the lens and let the projector poke out.. well that just looks cheap and tacky to me.. plus i seem to have a knack for making shit difficult.. I like the look of stock fogs but wanted projectors.. so i decided to make the projector sit behind the stock lens. and here is the result, left one is the one no modified, right is the one retro'd.
I sent like 2-3 of u this pic off my phone but here u can see it bigger.


once again, crappy cell pics till there done

o and here is the example of what most do, that i dont like

lol no, I blacked out the housing to help hide the projector that is mounted in there, because the housing on the projector is black.

just for you guys. took my camera into the shop this morning and got better pics.. didnt realize the lens were so dirty though on the fogs
yellow tape is just holding the lens on there, been trying to make sure the housing is sealed so needing to leave the lens off as of right now. Hoping tomorrow I can finish the one, and maybe get the other one almost there

good news, one is done! sealed up the lens before i left tonight. just have to smooth out the epoxy on it so the bumps arent noticable from a straight shot.
Also the other one took only half the time.. was nice.. Its almost there, just need to finish sealing up the housing, then seal the lens back on.. Tomorrow barr is coming up here so I plan on sealing the housing in the morning and then possibly seal the lens during the day or after we're done with his car.
