My total cost of my project has been 10$... 3$ for 2 projectors, 6 for 2 bulbs, and 1$ for a few zipties..

Now it flips up to sleepy eye position with aimed projectors... i havent totally finished it, but you can get a darn good idea how it might look

Thats a really good deal on lights...

I picked mine up at http://www.rallylights.com. $57 for the 90MM hella projectors. Here's a link for anyone interested. They also have 120 MM available. I picked up 4 of the 90's, but am now thinking about running a 90 low beam and a 120 highbeam on each side.

Dude where did you get those projectors for so cheap?! I just went through an entire junkyard looking for some projectors and not one car had a set. In fact not ONE projector in the whole yard out of what probably 300-400 cars!

I think it looks like crap. Although I am interested in how you've done it. Add another on each side along with some plastic or fiberglass molding and it will be one sexy mofo.

only problem is, it'll fall apart if you go fast enough with your lights on. Can't be doing wonders for your aerodynamics, either.

I must say tho that it might look pretty bad-*** if it's done right. Put another bulb or two in each, and craft a nice looking bezel to surround them(CF?)

Looks like ***, it needs a housing and another set for high beams.

Do it right, use this as a template

The Clearcorners guy does nice work. It's very pricey if you ask me, but most of that is for the parts he uses. Looks like a good start. Tek.
