A little HID Retrofit action...
Decided to play around with my new Canon S5 and my retrofit... My gf got me E46 Singles, Ballast, and 4300k bulbs... etc.

I had my friend cut some adapter plates out of 6061 aluminum.

Here are a few pics, I did get to get some wall shots yet, sorry :sad:

are the vertical aiming lines on your housing going to mess up the beam pattern?

Thanks guys! The bumper needs to be removed for the high beams only

Its null and void, it really makes no big deal. It would look better with them removed which is literally a 10min job per side. I will do that when I get bored... lol

Here are a few extra pics. Before anyone says anything... I AM aware that they are aimed too high. I just wanted to grab a few pics. I am also going to color mod the projector too when I have it apart next time!

Im still trying to learn my camera... Its been a few days and I think I am getting better...
