I actually think the JDM ones are bigger than 3'

Ah.
The E55 should fit good. Remember the shroud/bezel covers up the projector and makes it look good.

Yea, I know it shouldn't I just want my lenses smooth. It's a shit load of work though.
I picked up a Power Ball Mini today but my drill is dead lol. I'll start at both lenes when I get home from work tonight and make some more progress.

The bezels should be done paint wise then too.

Sand, polish, sand, polish, sand, polish........my arms are fucking sore. The lenses look like crap still imo. I need to get some rubbing compound and try that. Should clean the lenses up to where I want them I hope.

E55s are in Canada now. Should have them by the end of the week

It's been a good morning so far

Let see your PnP kit have a cut off like this!

Bright

Pulled the reflector bowls from the stock housing tonight.

I have most the mounting hardware, just need some brackets and it's time for the real fun to begin.

I've also played around with color modding the E55s. I've got more work to do with that but I'm pleased with the results so far.

haha nice cut off line
great progress cant wait to see it mounted in the car

Jeep_DA9 · 07-17-2009, 11:16 AM

Thanks man. Slowly making progress.

Started cutting today to mount the projectors.
Seems the bi xenon solenoid is getting in the way.

I've already cut quite a bit of the reflector bowl. I don't want to cut so much that I've got nothing to mount to.

Any help?

Jeep_DA9 · 07-17-2009, 11:11 PM

I ARE FINISHED!!

Nah, I'm just kidding.
Projectors are ready for mounting in the passenger reflector bowl. Hopefully will have both mounted by the end of the weekend.

I had to cut LOTS out of the reflector bowl and notch the bottom for the Bi Xenon solenoid.

Then I decided to play around with the power supply. Should look sweet

I still need to order some bezels for the projectors.
As for the projectors I want to mount in the high beam reflector bowl, I'm not sure about that. Found a local suppler which carries the FX-R projector so we're gonna meet up next week when I've got some free time and have a look to see if it will fit.

Jeep_DA9 · 07-17-2009, 11:51 PM
