3rd Generation Recent projector retrofit

Long story short, the dual projectors I had were damaged unfortunately and I needed some new headlights. I decided to go with a clean OEM look and try to make the retrofit as factory looking as possible. The dual projectors were nice, but they look too "aftermarket", plus I wanted something different this time

Can you not do anything wrong Tony. It seems like everytime you come on here to post up videos or pictures it is jsut something else to drool over. I liked the dual projectors because it was not seen. I can see what you mean about it looking "aftermarket" though since there arent many vehicles that run dual projectors.

This set up looks great.

WOW....as always, awesome.

but hey, how hard is it to do that? I've wanted to do projectors on my 96 for a long time but i have to admit to being a little scared of a project like this cuz it seemed like a large investment that i might totally screw up and be out a fair amount of money...

3rd Generation

you took the balist and light from the benz. Where did yo get the clear lens from? And where did you get the high beam projector from? Is it 65 watt or is it just another 55 watt in the high beams place?

Looks fantastic.....

Are you going to sell your old dual projector setup? If so, what would need to be changed to make it work again and how much are you selling it for? PM me, please.

And those look freaking nice! Great job.
