I then began to retrofit my headlights:
Oznium Red LED Surface Mount. 3 in each projector for demon eyes.
Morimoto Mini:
Gatling Gun Shrouds:
Together:
Painted Vs Non-painted housings:
I needed to flatten these plastic lips:

Test Fitting - They will be all black with red accents in the end:
Okay guys, so I got some output shots for you guys... only 2 for right now until I actually get everything mounted:
I also got started on painting, everything has been made into gloss instead of a textured flat black. The far shroud needs to be repainted as it started running just a bit, but that's no problem.
Tomorrow I'm off to the parts store, I'll be painting part of the shroud red and the shield red. I'll also be mounting the LEDs and then getting everything set.
The paint is all dry.. I'm not going to clear until I can do everything at once... Here's the results:
Also, got my centric rings to mount the shrouds:
First, I had to trim down the back of the shrouds to make them fit a little more flush with the projectors, in this pic the areas not taped off were going to be painted red, I have since changed my mind after a mock-up that you guys will not get to see, not until the end at least hehehehe:

I then wanted to get this original sealant out before I started paint...

I then had to cut away at part of the shrouds to make them so that the beam can be moved up any down just like they would from the factory:
Now, everything is getting a layer of gloss black, these will get cleared tonight and then the housings will get black gloss also and hopefully cleared tomorrow.
Nice job painting inside :rotfl:[/QUOTE]
It was the aftermarket original glue, it was crappy and made it hard to replace the lens. I'm going to use clear silicone unless I see something that'll be better lol
It's cold outside, roommates don't seem to care, i'll open the window and turn the fan on haha
Here's my updates....
Started to work on the LEDs for demon eyes. Still working on the second one:
Projectors come apart with 4 screws: here we have the reflector bowl, the shield which lifts to allow the full beam and also makes the cut-off and finally the clear lens:
You can see how the shield moves:
LEDs getting epoxied in:
Reflectors and Shrouds are done and drying:
Will be using 2 of these for the turn signals, they are a cool white (6000k) whichever will be brighter to go with the switchbacks:
These will be used for the high beams, as I won't need the extra output and won't be able to get any with the complete black housing, these will just be for looks:
Just put the last coats of clear on the housings:
