Are they halos or just painted shrouds?

 

[adr2277]

just painted with flourescent orange safety paint

 

[mx-p5]

that's cool! First time i've seen that!

Not my style, but to each his own, props to ya for doing a retrofit and no longer blinding babies with a P&P kit

 

[adr2277]

never did the PnP just went straight to retros
its the best upgrade ive ever done TBH

 

[mx-p5]

Well, even more props if you never ran P&P's lol

And i have to agree, i've got HID Retrofits on both my wife's Protege5, my miata, as well as our Yamaha scooter

Looks good man still say it looks pink.

But you need to fix that crappy bumper alignment, and less time on the lights...lol

side note your almost there man...haha

So, mx-p5... I remember you mentioning a quad bi-xenon retro a few months back. Any progress? Or did I miss an update somewhere in here? I'm thinking about cranking one out this summer if all goes well for other(s).

Paint the Cutoff Shield in my Projectors to match my Midnight Blue

are you gonna run some led's to make them pop? or just let the sun do the job?

Yes and no.

Projectors are mounted in one set, but the outer lenses were beyon repair, so I'm waiting to order another set of sedan lights to swipe the new lens off them.

Plus been busy with other retros

Careful with that. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but the ebay set I got fit like s*** and there were gaps everywhere. Such a waste of $50

That's what I'm afraid of

Worst case, I end up just doing another normal retro in new sedan lights but with evo x-r projectors. basically itll look identical to the current retro

then figuring out something to do with the e46 and mini h1's I was going to use

The Mini H1's are new, right? I would definitely buy them off you.

I actually had an epiphany last night. Quad projectors, on at all times, BUT... only one pair are bi-xenon. Possibly less complicated? I hate being poor.

Bixenon or not, it's the same effort. Just one more connector to plug in.

And no, they're not new, I stripped both mounting threads so they won't mount the easy way, which is why I decided to use em in the p5 high beam which required cutting to fit

I'll leave it up to the sun. Most people will never notice but it would bug me to leave them silver

I did bring up a bi-xenon quad convo with MX-P5 a while back that started this whole thread. I was considering the swap and he posted a video of an awesome quad bi-xenon civic

I see. Well then it looks like new ones for me. I just need to figure out what's going on this summer so I can get going on these projects and get it done.

That Civic looks mean as hell. I remember seeing that a while back and that's what provoked my brain as well.
