Right! I was going to post a how to but after looking at Soristo's write up, there was really no point. (Its the previous link I put up on the page before this one http://www7.plala.or.jp/soaristo/ ) The only thing I did different is kept the reflector and trimmed the housing to accomodate (similar to what Soristo did in his)

Hey guys I've been super busy and have done quite a few more since this one. One of the latest ones was a Valeo brand Hyrid projector setup for an 01-02 GS300. I think the owner may have a few pics they can post. I'm dying to see what it looks like. When he posts, I'll do a mini write up on the process. I have one going for that over on HIDplanet.com in the forums section (photos) titled "hot on the heels of another scortcher"

I'll just bring it over here

Our vendor Advanced Automotive Concepts does this sort of stuff for you. They're running a GB on Demon eyes in the vendor forum, can also check out their website (click here)

I will have the writeup and pics up as soon as my last mod comes in, hopefully by the end of the week. I can tell you that the cutoff and color is sick. It is just amazing. I have been taking pics and they do it no justice. Some last bit of tweeking and finishing putting on the last few mods on the car and then pics will be up. I highly recomment Mike (TIGuy99) if you guys need any retrofit work done
