i'll have some next time i get working on it again. these arent tsx projectors btw, they're rx400h's

what shrouds should i use guys?? These are 2.5" projectors.. what do you guys think will look good??

That's a great start up, have you already started cutting the back or just in planning mode right now? How will you be mounting the projector in?

I think the e-46 bezels would look great in the housing to hide the width of the projector or the Gatling Gun shrouds should look good too.

Also are you able to take some measurements or the housing? Depth, height and width etc.?

Keep us updated

they are already mounted lol, just waiting on the rubber silicone to dry... I'll get the measurements later tonight..

so RX400h projectors are really good huh? forget tsx. they are not toyota parts.

lowincash · 06-19-2009, 01:10 AM

great job so far =D are you going to use a shroud to cover up the projector? it's not needed but might make it look nicer. actually i think the minigun shroud will look nice in this headlight.

those are the ones i used on my retrofit but i used tsx projectors.

i remember someone used the rx projectors and swapped a clear lense from 300zx or something and it performed better than the tsx projectors.
