Is is just me, or is the fitment of those housings sort of bad? Projectors look okay, but I'm not sure about those bezels. Where did you get them from?

Good job. I don't know what it is, but something looks weird in there. Maybe the way you blacked them out? I don't know.

Anyways, give us details!
What projectors did you use?
What ballast?
How is the beam pattern?
Do you have pictures of the pattern?
Do you have pictures of the procedure?

not feeling it

Overall, it looks ok from the front. But if you look at it at an angle, it becomes weird. Maybe because the projector is too far out. Anyways, good job. I like you work man.

The kit came with the Ballasts, wiring harness and bulbs right? Did you need to buy anything else as far as the HID setup, not the projectors.

I will be brutally honest:

Very very poor output. Uneven spread, and what happened to the steps on the projectors? It almost looks like the bulbs are not seated correctly.

You have some glare problems, likely because the sides of the projectors are uncovered and light is escpaing.

8000k sucks. I would like to see OEM capsules in there.

If your fog lights are casting light above your headlights... rip them off and throw them away.

i havent aimed the headlights yet

yes the sides are uncovered..i just order a sheild for those from hidtech.com

i like the bright HIDs...differents tastes different opinions

I have aimed the fog lights either

thanks for being honest though

[WhiteRabbit]

they stick too far out =\

[JetspeedCamry]

Terrible...but thats just my opinion

You boosted? Or is that just a fake IC ??

[Jchan]

they looked okay, but still need some works. X5 projectors do not use 9006 bulbs, they only use d2s bulbs. your projectors needed to be sealed so the light won't spread around and loose light output. keep it up, they will turn out good.
