Valeo D2S Projector Retrofit Completed with pics! 56k NO NO NO NO!!!!!!

Okay guys, I'm new here and I just finished a retrofit, check it out!

Thanks to Joe for helping me out all the time and VXCL.

And now onto the pictures...















The cutoff pic isn't that great, but inperson the color band is much longer and has aqua, purple, and blue. I'll get some better output pics updated later, thats it for now, thanks.

You'll need to make a wiring harness if you want to do things right. Check www.hidplanet.com forums for more info, they also sell good OEM setups.

i wish i could do more retros i did do some for a while for friends but ive been working mad hours at work and i would love to help most of your out, but i convinced george to do it, it is about a 8 on the difficulty level it takes lots of time and prep to do it, making templates for the projector bowls to cut out the reflectors, i will always say once you cut you never go back cause you cant, youll need a new light so commit to the project and do it, it is lots of fun and the output of the projector and the time you spend on it will pay for itself in the end when you see the results


just some shots for those newbies who havent seen my current setup im STILL WORKING ON

Pics were taken with a 7MP Olympus digital camera... mmmmmm

any comments/opinions are greatly appreciated, i love critique

i'm looking forward to coming to the meet on sunday as well, anyone from here gonna be there? the socal meet at fuddruckers...

i'm also getting my d2 coilovers tomorrow but i cant install em since i got UCI orientation :[ hopefully saturday though so my car will be lower when i get to the meet, anyway, i'm getting a lexus graphite grey paint job soon as well, plus removing the side moldings and read emblem, haha.

peace
