Thanks for the kind words

probably 12 hours into the work on the headlights themselves...it was fun but also a pain...I am scared about the aiming part...my driver side looks a little cock-eyed compared to the one in this pic but if i can get the aiming down i'll be very happy!

Looks good. How'd you do the shroud?

I found that making the shroud and sealing up the rear to be the hardest part.

TSX headlight housing and just trim up the high beam...yeah that wasn't too hard after i figured out what to use for it

as far as sealing the rear or in my case the projector to the headlight i used JB qwik to mount it and hold it, then JB weld to finish it off with a stronger sealant

I tried a TSX high beam... I ended up cracking it, so I gave up on that idea.

You did a great job of it.

yes the proper way to add HID to our cars, good job looks really nice, keep us updated on your inpressions on how it performs when you drive the car /ubbthreads/images//graemlins/blush.gif. I thought about retrofit the E36/E46 BMW lights also as the profile looks like it works plus i have people that can get them next to nothing including the audi tt lights too...

The mad scientist of the board of course. He doesn't sell them, but he can modify them for you if you supply the parts. The problem is that he has so many projects already. I'm patiently waiting for him to free up time to do my set.
