Yo, custom projectors- workin on em' (pics)

Yo, i've taken apart the housing on one of my honda projectors. Yeah, i was really bored today @ school, so i pulled the silicone apart w/ only scissors, needle nose pliers, and an exacto knife. Yeah, it doesn't beat the oven i'm sure, but oh well. Here's pics of both, "the chrome housing" and "the projector beam". There was a black piece (the actual housing), but i think i'm just going to either
(a) Silicone the chrome to the existing housing of the lancer headlamp, or (b), just use a projector beam in the place of the reflector (9007 low beam) for the stock. Haven't decided whether i'm going to paint the chrome or not. This is NOT going to happen in one week -so bare w/ the posts okay?

PS: oh and in some of the pics- i switched the beam from the MIDDLE, to the corner. Dont know which looks better to me...

hopefully this happens. you know you could have also bought a pair of projector foglights for 40 dollars and saved a bit instead of buying headlights

yeah, the projector headlights i got for $20, from a friend who wanted blacked out projectors for his honda. Dont know if i'm going to paint em' or not- i'll figure that out, once they're all finished, and i have them installed in my car- i need to see the overall light output.

have i mentioned - there are halo rings (2 of them) in these housing. the wire is cut though, so i doubt i'll be able to use them, unless i find another way to light them up.
