And what kils me is that I had a set of GS400 Xenon headlights that I was gonna put when I first got the car. Since the harness didn't fit (learned the hard way) I decided I was stuck with halogens and sold them on e-bay. This was obviously before I got deep into CL.

Kicking myself...

Default Update

The Lights are in and looking sweet.
Now I just need to figure out if the ballasts that I got are good or not. When I wire up the 12v power source I get 12v on the ground wire. Something ain't right...LOL I'm starting to think that I got beat...and the 2nd time by a CL member!

did you ever repaint the black trim pieces? any better pictures up close?

how did you reseal the whole thing back up once you fixed the shrouds?

thanks

No repaint, I decided to stay with the flat black for now. The light housing has plenty of glue fromt he factory. so there's more than enough when you put it back in the oven! just gotta press it together tightly when it comes out. I used a buddy of mine and some pliers.
