Looking good! How much $$$ spent so far?
Are you doing this mod on your OEM headlamp assy?

About $500 for everything to do a complete retrofit. I'm gonna be using a set of Vios headlights for my retrofit.

Brian,
So does the 500 you spent also cover the Vios HL's also? Might sound like a dumb question, but another person might not have included that in their calculations, you know what I mean?

Vios headlights were about $180 shipped for the pair and about $400 for the retrofit parts.

Brian, simply put you have the best goodies EVER. haha
Any chance of you selling your old pair of headlights (with MI retrofits too) or are you keeping those just in case?

Do you have pics of the Vios headlights, is there that much of a difference compared to your stock ones?

The only real difference is the clear reflector.

God Damn Brian! What are you trying to do? Turn your lights into "proton" beams? Your gonna send some mugs to the Braille Institute wif dem right there. Enjoy!

Stupid question, but, do you have enough room? Looks tight.

In any case, it should look nice.

Yes, there is enough room. These are one of the smallest projectors. I wanted the S2K projectors but they won't be out for another month or two. I'll probably have to trim the shrouds because they're so big but atleast I'll know they'll cover the projector.

Brian · 05-01-2010, 09:10 PM

Here is my progress so far. Lens removed, sealant removed, bowl removed and modified. Projector fits nicely to the rear of the bowl. I had to trim 1/4" from the shroud to clear part of the bowl. Here are some pics of my progress.

Modified reflector bowl

Projector inside the reflector bowl

At this point, the factory adjustment knobs will still be functional. Not sure if they will be once everything is together.
