More headlight progress!!!

[contourspd98]

Tonight I painted the housing of the projector flat black and also fabbed a 9005 bulb to fit in the housing to see what the beam would look like(since I don't have the HIDs yet) Very nice!!! I want to make a sexy time with it.
Enjoy!!!

As it sits now

Headlight

And now the sexy time

(It looks like it has a lot of glare, but that is just the light from the bulb in the projector housing)

Cutoff

Slowly but surely it's all coming along...

what projectors are those?
how much did they cost?
are they for HID or halogen bulbs?

It looks like a lot of glare because thats what it is... Glare. I mentioned to you in your other thread that you need to make some kind of bezel or cover to block all that excess light.

Keep up the work, you're on your way.

Their bmw 5 series projectors. Bought them used on ebay for $125 shipped... They are setup for HID's but I trimmed a high beam bulb to where it would fit in the d2s housing..

Do you think that once I put the hightower in that that will block most if not all the glare?

 

[kscontourkid]

thats what i was wondering.

looks good

No. Hightower just means painting the headlight bezel. You need to ADD something to block the light completely, not just mute the output. you took a step in the right direction painting the reflector area around black, that certainly helped, but its not enough. Take a look at the following pics for a better idea of what im talking about.

ABS plastic blocking off the behinds of the projectors, and killing stray light

Holy cow. That's damn good:drool:. What projectors were used for the low and high beams? I got my H.I.D's waiting. Do you use the stock 'tour bulbs sizes or do you have to convert? and where and the hell is the How-To for projectors?
