HID retrofit progress

alright, i finally got the time to try to finish up my retro, as some people already know that i used to have the ebay projectors retrofitted. but since it wasn't a good job, i made another one but this time, i used the OEM headlights. here is my progress.







about that chrome around the housing, i used the ES headlights, taped off those areas and then sand and painted the rest black.
now all i have to do is put it in my car and aim it, fit the shroud, make some adjustments on the housing since the solenoid hits it, wiring the high beam, glue the headlight back together, and seal the back. should be done in another day or so if i have time. comments and welcome....

Can you post a pic of the cutoff line?
Also, what did you use for your shroud?

lol it took almost a year since i lagged it so much, trying to finish up a lot of stuff at school.....yeah....
i'll try to post up some pictures of the cutoff line and the shroud is a drip pan, you can find that in homedepot.
here is my old retro a while back. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...174496&page=18
if you have the tools and the materials, it shouldn't take more than a weekend to finish, it's just happen that i laaaaaaaaaaaggggggggged so long.
