Default Gs300 headlight retro

Well today was a long and boring day so I decided, why not do a retro. I looked around to see what I had laying around and found a set of TL projectors with clear lenses. I also took the amber out. I hope to have night pics, installed pics, and beam pics. Till then, here are the pics I took while making them.

TL low beam , Chrysler Crossfire shroud. I am going to take it apart after the winter to install my own led boards and a bezel to cover the rear and clean it up some.




And putting them together is so easy thanks to these.

Nice cut off line! Gotta take some night shots. Also is that a dent on your hood, next to the driver side headlight??

Any reason why your foglights are green?

They were warming up lol. 3000k hids do that. Yes there's a dent in the hood. There are dents all over. Rye main reason I got the car dirt cheap. I'll get some night pics as soon as night comes.

ahh okay, i didn't know they were warming up. I heard a couple of people trying out yellow hid fogs but it ended up green... really odd. I dont do any yellows on my car though. That dent got my eyes tripping for a minute lol. Nice retrofit though. Im stepping toward this process pretty soon myself.
