i figured i'd share the outcome with you guys. it's not difficult to do a retro but it's probably my first and last one because i'm not a patient person and it does require a bit of that.

cost (shipped):97/9 headlights - $60projectors - $88shrouds - $40d2s bulbs - $25d2s to universal hid kit connector - $17misc stuff to mount and cover holes around $40 - cutting bits, aluminium tape, threaded rod etc

all together not too expensive but not cheap either. another thing is i already had a universal hid kit so that was not an additional costbtw a retro can be done in one day easily

Looks good, but maybe as though the projectors are facing outward. Is that just the shrouds? Get some output pics tonight.

yeah, it looks weird in the pic even though they're straight. i'll get a pic of the beam pattern as soon as i get my bulb connectors.
